Privacy finding

The sites say one consent choice covers them all and the second site asks again

Privacy Warning Severity: Medium

Part of the audit The organisation's own sites disagree on privacy. Finding id: privacy.consentNotSharedAcrossSites.

What it costs you

Visitors are told they choose once and are asked again. Until they answer, the second site has no choice on record for them.

What to do

Share the choice between the sites, or take the sentence out.

What it checks

  • Consent not shared where claimed

How to fix it

Share the choice or drop the claim

  1. Check whether the two sites are on the same registered domain. A cookie cannot be read across different domains.
  2. Look in the consent tool for a way to share consent across domains. We do not name it because it differs per tool.
  3. If the choice cannot be shared, remove the sentence at [claim url].

How to check: Make a choice on [from domain] in a private window, open [to domain]: no banner. Then run the visit again.

How to verify by hand

The consent platform's cross-domain setting.

What this relies on

The claim was written for sites on one domain and a site on another domain was added later.
