This cookie is classified as marketing/advertising. It requires explicit user consent under virtually all privacy regulations including GDPR, CCPA, and ePrivacy.

Consent Requirements by Regulation

Explicit prior consent is required before setting FPGCLAW. Advertising and tracking cookies are never covered by the strictly necessary exemption.

UK GDPR & PECR

Explicit consent is required before setting FPGCLAW.

CCPA/CPRA (California)

Setting FPGCLAW for cross-context behavioural advertising is treated as sharing personal information: provide a "Do Not Sell or Share" opt-out and honour the Global Privacy Control signal.

Managing FPGCLAW with a Consent Banner

A consent management platform keeps FPGCLAW blocked until the visitor opts in to the marketing category. Kukie.io's scanner detects it automatically, categorises it, and the banner's auto-blocking holds back the script that sets it until consent is given - visitors who decline never receive it.
