Prior Cookie Blocking
Stop trackers before consent. Cookie Panda rewrites and gates tag-loading scripts until the user makes a choice.
No tracker fires before the visitor says yes — exactly as the law requires.
Capturing consent is only half the job; GDPR and the UK GDPR require that non-essential cookies and trackers do not run until the visitor opts in. Cookie Panda enforces that automatically. It intercepts and rewrites tag-loading scripts so analytics, advertising and other non-essential vendors are held back until a choice is made — closing the most common and most expensive compliance gap in cookie banners.
You choose how much to automate. Automatic mode rewrites and gates known tracking scripts for you using built-in blocklists, while manual mode gives engineers precise, per-category control over exactly what loads when. Either way, gating is enforced at the category level, so granting analytics consent never accidentally unleashes your marketing pixels.
For the Google ecosystem, Cookie Panda bridges directly to Google Consent Mode v2. The moment a visitor decides, the correct consent signals (ad_storage, analytics_storage, ad_user_data, ad_personalization) are pushed to Google's tags — so you stay measurable where consent is granted and fully compliant where it isn't, with no custom dataLayer plumbing.

Common questions
Do trackers really not fire before consent?
Correct. Non-essential scripts are intercepted and held until the visitor opts in, which is what GDPR and the UK GDPR require for prior consent.
Does blocking break Google Analytics?
No. The Google Consent Mode v2 bridge lets Google tags load in a privacy-safe, cookieless mode before consent and switch to full measurement once it's granted.
