Default configuration includes no tracking scripts or third-party data collection. The cookie consent system blocks third-party cookies until users provide explicit consent, meeting GDPR requirements. A dedicated legal notice and privacy page template comes pre-configured with standard compliance sections. You maintain complete control over what tracking scripts load and when consent is required. The system supports customizable consent options for different service categories. Cookie management integrates with the theme's design system for consistent styling. Privacy-conscious defaults mean you can deploy the site without immediate legal concerns, then add analytics or tracking only when needed and with proper consent mechanisms. The approach prioritizes user privacy while maintaining flexibility for legitimate tracking needs.
