Cookie Consent & Compliance
gcu.ac.uk employs Cookiebot as its consent management platform. The site does not implement IAB TCF v2.3, which means consent signals are not standardised for programmatic advertising vendors.
What this setup is missing
- Script blocking is manual. Each script must be tagged by hand, and untagged scripts run before consent.
- Google tags were observed, but Google Consent Mode v2 was not detected.
- The published cookie declaration does not include all cookies observed on the site.
