Privacy and Imprint Check (GDPR, DE/AT/CH)
GDPR and imprint check of a website as a first-time visitor who has not clicked anything: which third parties load before consent (Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, Hotjar, Google Fonts, YouTube and Maps embeds and about 30 more), which cookies are set and which of them are known tracking cookies, whether a consent banner is shown, which tool runs it and whether it has a reject button on the first layer. Then reads the imprint (Impressum) and checks the fields required in Germany (§ 5 DDG), Austria and Switzerland: name and legal form, postal address, email, phone or contact form, managing director, commercial register, VAT ID; and checks whether the privacy policy names the third parties found. Returns a grade A to F with findings by severity. For agencies, compliance teams and lead qualification. Not legal advice. Not charged when the page cannot be loaded.
