Thanks for the review @nirajshah-1
We introduced the Compliance upgrade with the (admittedly aggressive) full splash screen to attempt to communicate to Cookie Notice users that they are at risk of not complying with the latest clarifications to existing data privacy laws (as well as new laws coming into enforcement w/in next 18 months).
These clarifications include ‘Prior Consent Rules’, which state that consent is invalid if cookies are set / sent prior to consent being registered, and a requirement to record ‘Proof-of-Consent’, which instructs data controllers (i.e. the business behind the website) to store consent receipts in a machine-readable standard.
Cookie Compliance provides the Autoblocking and Consent Logs services (in addition to consent analytics and many more UI/UX customizations) for a monthly subscription because these services generate API and data storage costs.
While we agree that the full-screen takeover is both painful and annoying, we made the decision to implement this approach as it was the most effective way to bring your attention to the increasing compliance risk that you / your customers are facing.
We wish you the best of luck in finding an alternative.
