Consent & Compliance

  • Category: Functional
  • GDPR: Generally operates as a functional tool. Review submission involves collecting personal data (name, email) which requires a lawful basis, but the widget display itself is functional.
  • CCPA: User-submitted review data is collected with explicit user action. Display-only functionality does not collect personal information passively.
  • ePrivacy: Cookies used are typically functional (session state, submission tracking). No advertising cookies.

Should You Block This Without Consent?
