Consent & Compliance
- Category: Functional
- GDPR: Processes subscriber data for service delivery. Authentication and entitlement checks serve a contractual basis for subscribed users.
- CCPA: Subscriber data processing is necessary for delivering the requested service.
- ePrivacy: Session cookies for authentication and content entitlement are essential for the service and typically exempt from consent requirements.
Should You Block This Without Consent?
No. Synacor provides functional infrastructure for subscriber portals and content delivery. Blocking it would prevent authenticated access to ISP and media services.
Is Synacor GDPR compliant?
Synacor typically loads marketing and functional 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 Synacor 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 Synacor, not on Synacor itself.
