Consent & Compliance

Category: Analytics

Pirsch is designed specifically to operate without consent requirements. It does not set cookies, does not collect personal data, and does not track individuals across sessions. All data is aggregated and anonymous.

  • GDPR: No consent required. Does not process personal data or set cookies.
  • CCPA: Minimal data collection. No personal information is collected or shared.
  • ePrivacy: Exempt. No cookies or local storage used.

Should You Block This Without Consent?

No. Pirsch is specifically designed to operate without consent. It sets no cookies, collects no personal data, and processes only aggregate metrics. It can run without consent under GDPR and ePrivacy regulations.

Is Pirsch GDPR compliant?

Pirsch typically loads analytics trackers, which are not strictly necessary for your site to work. Under the GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive, non-essential cookies and trackers must stay blocked until a visitor gives clear opt-in consent. So Pirsch can be fully GDPR compliant, but only if your site holds its scripts until consent is granted and lets visitors decline just as easily. Compliance depends on how your site loads Pirsch, not on Pirsch itself.
