Overview

Metomic is a privacy infrastructure platform that helps websites comply with data protection regulations by managing how third-party scripts and cookies are handled. Rather than tracking visitors, Metomic's purpose is to protect visitor privacy by controlling which other tools and scripts are allowed to run based on the visitor's consent preferences.

The platform scans web pages to identify cookies and third-party trackers, then enforces consent decisions by blocking or allowing those scripts dynamically. Metomic stores each visitor's consent preferences in cookies so that their choices persist across page loads and return visits. This makes Metomic part of the website's core privacy infrastructure — a tool that manages other tools rather than collecting marketing or analytics data itself.

What This Script Does

  • Scans web pages to detect cookies and third-party tracking scripts
  • Displays consent banners and preference dialogs to visitors
  • Records visitor consent choices and stores them in browser cookies
  • Blocks or allows other scripts dynamically based on the visitor's recorded consent
  • Persists consent preferences across page loads and return visits via cookies
  • Does not collect behavioral data, build visitor profiles, or share data with advertisers

Consent & Compliance

Metomic is itself a consent management tool — it exists to help websites comply with GDPR, ePrivacy, and similar regulations. The cookies it sets store visitor consent preferences, which are classified as strictly necessary under ePrivacy because they are required to honor the visitor's privacy choices. Without these cookies, the website could not remember whether a visitor has accepted or rejected tracking, which would result in either repeatedly prompting for consent or failing to enforce consent decisions. Privacy regulators have consistently recognized consent management cookies as exempt from consent requirements.

Should You Block This Without Consent?

No. Metomic is a consent management platform whose cookies are strictly necessary for recording and enforcing visitor privacy preferences. Blocking it would prevent the website from honoring consent choices, undermining the purpose of consent management itself.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Metomic itself need cookie consent to run?

No, Metomic generally does not require separate consent. As a consent management platform classified essential, it scans for cookies and trackers, displays consent banners, and enforces visitor preferences. Privacy infrastructure like Metomic is typically exempt from consent requirements under GDPR guidance.

What does Metomic do with cookies and trackers on a site?

Metomic scans web pages to identify cookies and third-party trackers already present, then displays consent banners that let visitors choose which categories to accept. Based on those choices, it blocks or allows other scripts from running. It stores consent preferences in its own cookies to persist decisions across visits.

How does ConsentStack interact with Metomic?

ConsentStack recognizes Metomic as a fellow consent management tool and categorizes it as essential. Since Metomic serves a privacy compliance function, ConsentStack does not block it. Both platforms address consent management, so sites typically use one or the other rather than running them simultaneously.
