Customer Impact

What This Means For You

For legal: Pre-consent cookie execution creates GDPR liability, though infrastructure necessity arguments may apply to functional cookies. Limited competitive intelligence value due to basic platform monitoring focus.
Recommended Actions

What To Do About It

Role-specific actions based on observed behavior

If You Use Aviato

  • Require Aviato to separate functional cookies (infrastructure) from analytics cookies (consent required)
  • Implement cookie consent categorization for non-essential platform tracking
  • Add platform tracking disclosure to privacy policy

If You're Evaluating Aviato

  • Review DPA distinguishing infrastructure vs. analytics data processing

Negotiation Leverage

  • Pre-consent cookie execution violates ePrivacy Directive - require separation of functional (necessary) from analytics (consent required)
  • Infrastructure necessity arguments do not extend to all platform tracking - demand technical controls for analytics consent
  • Minimal competitive intelligence value from basic infrastructure monitoring
Runtime Detections
