Common questions
Do I need a cookie consent banner?
You generally need a consent banner if you reach EU/UK/EEA visitors and use non-essential cookies or trackers (analytics, advertising pixels, third-party embeds). If you use only strictly-necessary cookies, or privacy-preserving cookieless analytics, you often do not — because there is nothing non-essential to consent to.
Can I remove my cookie banner?
Often yes — if you switch away from cookie-based, personal-data-collecting tools to cookieless analytics that stores nothing non-essential on the visitor's device, the legal trigger for the banner usually falls away. You still need a privacy policy.
Does cookieless analytics still work without a banner?
Yes. Cookieless tools measure visitors, sources, conversions, and funnels using anonymous first-party signals with IP addresses hashed, so there is typically nothing to consent to. VisitVerity is cookieless and also offers masked session replay and heatmaps.
