Privacy

FAIL Cookie banner partner disclosure

banner_present: The page content shows no visible cookie or consent banner, only a 'Cookie settings' link in the footer.
Fix: Implement a visible cookie consent banner on first visit that allows users to accept, reject, or manage cookies before non-essential cookies are set.
partner_sharing_mentioned: No banner or on-page consent copy is present, so no disclosure of data sharing with third-party partners is made.
Fix: Add consent banner copy that explicitly discloses whether and how data is shared with third-party partners, with a link to the full list.
partner_count_specific: No specific numeric count of partners is stated anywhere in the visible page content since no banner exists.
Fix: Include an exact numeric count of third-party partners (e.g., 'We share data with X partners') in the consent banner with a link to review each one.
