Cookies before consent
Under Quebec's Law 25, measurement and advertising tools may only run once the visitor has said yes. We load your page like a first-time visitor who hasn't clicked anything yet, and list what it sets or calls.
What Law 25 asks
Since September 2023, Quebec's Law 25 requires that any technology used to identify, locate or profile a visitor be off by default. In practice: analytics, advertising pixels and similar tools only start after the visitor clicks “Accept”, and declining must be as easy as accepting.

Frequently asked questions
Does my site set cookies before consent?
The tool loads your page like a first-time visitor who has not clicked anything yet, then lists what it sets or calls. Under Quebec's Law 25, measurement and advertising tools may only run once the visitor has said yes.
What can load without consent?
Only what is needed for the site to work: session, shopping cart, language, security (anti-robot checks) and the cookie that remembers the visitor's choice. Analytics and advertising tools must wait for the visitor's explicit yes.
Are external videos, maps and fonts a problem?
They are worth reviewing: content loaded from another company passes on the visitor's IP address. Host your fonts yourself and show videos only on click.
Must declining be as easy as accepting?
Yes, according to the tool's guide: analytics and advertising pixels only start after the visitor clicks "Accept", and declining must be as easy as accepting.
