  • May redirect users to advertiser landing pages via popunder windows

Consent & Compliance

  • Category: Marketing
  • GDPR: Sets tracking cookies and collects behavioral data for ad targeting. Requires explicit consent under GDPR before any scripts load or cookies are set.
  • CCPA: Shares visitor data with advertisers for targeted advertising, which may constitute a "sale" under CCPA. Opt-out mechanisms are required.
  • ePrivacy: Sets non-essential cookies for ad frequency capping and targeting. Requires prior consent in EU jurisdictions.

Should You Block This Without Consent?

Yes. Traffic Stars is an advertising network that sets tracking cookies and collects behavioral data for ad targeting. It must be blocked until the user provides explicit marketing consent.

Is Traffic Stars GDPR compliant?

Traffic Stars typically loads marketing 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 Traffic Stars 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 Traffic Stars, not on Traffic Stars itself.
