UK GDPR & PECR

Setting ln_or 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 ln_or with a Consent Banner

A consent management platform keeps ln_or 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.
