Check · § 25 TDDDG

Tracking cookie set without consent

What it means

A cookie used for tracking is written to the visitor's browser on the first page view, before any consent dialog.

Why it matters

§ 25 TDDDG (Germany's ePrivacy rule) requires consent before anything non-essential is stored on the device — independent of the GDPR question about the data itself.

How to fix it

Configure your consent tool to block the cookie-setting script until opt-in, then verify in a private window that no tracking cookie appears before you click accept.
