The cookie consent banner now uses geolocation to determine whether a visitor even needs to see it. If you are browsing from a region without relevant privacy regulations, the banner never appears, giving you a cleaner experience.
Which regions see the banner
The consent banner only shows for visitors in regions that have enacted privacy legislation requiring explicit cookie consent. This includes the European Union (GDPR), the United Kingdom (UK GDPR), Brazil (LGPD), Canada (PIPEDA), and select US states with consumer privacy laws like California (CCPA), Virginia, Colorado, and Connecticut.
How detection works
When a page loads, the system checks the visitor's region based on their request metadata. This happens at the edge (before the page renders), so there is no delay or flash of the banner. Visitors from regions without consent requirements never see the banner at all, and analytics tracking works normally for them.
Consent-first analytics
For visitors who do see the banner, analytics tracking is completely disabled until they give consent. No cookies are set, no tracking scripts load, and no data is collected until the visitor makes an explicit choice. If they decline, the session remains fully anonymous. If they accept, standard analytics begin from that point forward.
Persistent preferences
Once a visitor makes a choice, their preference is saved so they do not see the banner on subsequent visits. The preference persists across sessions. Visitors can change their preference at any time through a link in the website footer.
