Chat with usShort answer
It depends on where your visitors are and which tier you use, and this is not legal advice. Tiers 1 and 2 store no identifier in the browser, so many TapCub sites run tier 2 without a banner outside the EEA. EEA and UK visitors default to requiring consent.
Tier decides the answer
This is not legal advice. In practice:
- Tier 1 and tier 2 store no identifier in the browser, which is the condition most regulators attach to the cookie-banner requirement. Many TapCub sites run tier 2 without a banner outside the EEA.
- For EEA and UK visitors the default rule requires consent. If your site has no banner, those visitors are stored at tier 1 automatically: pageviews and events still count, but there is no returning-visitor recognition and no autocapture.
- Tier 3 writes a device ID and therefore needs consent in most jurisdictions.
Passing consent to the script
Pass the analytics purpose from your banner to the script; the consent API is in the developer docs. Before consent is given the script queues events in memory by default and sends them once allowed.
You can switch the before-consent behavior from queue to drop in the compliance center.
