Your website shouldn't track visitors before they say yes.
Mascolo Cookie Consent asks first, keeps analytics and advertising tools switched off until a visitor agrees, and records every answer. It's installed and maintained for you, and it's running on this page right now.
Why this matters now
Most websites load tools like Google Analytics and the Meta Pixel the moment a page opens, before the visitor has agreed to anything. State privacy laws increasingly treat that as tracking without permission, and law firms have started sending demand letters to businesses whose sites do it.
The claim is easy to make because it's easy to prove: open the site, watch the tracking requests fire with no consent asked, take a screenshot, send the letter.
The fix is to change what the website actually does, so that picture can't be taken.
"Open the site, watch the tracking fire, send the letter." That is the whole playbook. Mascolo Cookie Consent makes the first step come up empty.
- Nothing tracks a visitor until they choose to allow it.
- Google is told about the choice through its own consent signals.
- Each decision is recorded, with the date and time, as evidence the site asked.
How it works
Four things, every one of them demonstrable on a live page.
Ask first
A clear, accessible banner in your site's colors asks visitors which categories they'll allow. Plain language, keyboard friendly, no dark patterns.
Block until yes
Analytics and advertising tags are held inert by the browser itself. There's no window where a tracker runs first. Decline, and they never run.
Record every answer
Accept or reject, each choice is logged with a timestamp. If a letter ever shows up, you have dated records showing your site asked.
Watch for changes
Sites change. A daily check catches it if a new tracking tag slips in past the gate, so the protection doesn't quietly erode.
Try it on this page
This page carries a Google Analytics tag and an advertising pixel, the same kind most business websites run. Both are gated by Mascolo Cookie Consent.
The panel reads your browser's own network activity, so it shows what actually happened, not what we claim. Use the banner, then watch the panel. The small icon in the corner reopens your choices at any time.
Your choice on this page is remembered for six months, the same as on a client site. Use the reset button to start over.
Live tracker status
What your browser has actually sent from this page
What's included
You don't install anything. I do, and I keep it working.
A scan of your site first
Before anything changes, a dated report of exactly which tools your site loads today and whether any of them run before consent.
Installation and verification
The banner goes in, your existing tags are gated, and the same scan is run again to prove nothing fires early. You get both reports.
Ongoing monitoring
Daily checks for new trackers, uptime monitoring, and records kept safely. If something changes on your site, I hear about it before anyone else does.
Records on request
Your consent log is yours. Ask for an export any time, for your attorney, your records, or your own peace of mind.
One honest note. This is a technical fix with records to prove your site asked. It isn't legal advice, and no one can promise you'll never receive a letter. Your attorney owns your privacy policy. I own making sure your website does what that policy says.

Send me your website address and I'll run the scan and show you what it finds. No charge for the look.
