Consent & Compliance

Category: Marketing

Virtual Minds operates advertising infrastructure that sets tracking cookies, builds audience profiles, and participates in programmatic ad auctions. All of these are marketing activities that require consent under GDPR and ePrivacy regulations.

Should You Block This Without Consent?

Yes. Virtual Minds scripts set tracking cookies and collect behavioral data for advertising purposes. Consent is required before loading any Virtual Minds ad tech scripts.

Is Virtual Minds GDPR compliant?

Virtual Minds 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 Virtual Minds 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 Virtual Minds, not on Virtual Minds itself.
