How This Briefing Works
This dossier opens with key findings, then maps the gap between what Ensighten discloses and what BLACKOUT observed at runtime. From there: what it means for your organization, what to do about it, and the detection evidence underneath. BLACKOUT observes runtime browser behavior and cites the regulations that address each pattern — legal determinations are your counsel's call.

vendor fires before consent
Briefing
Enterprise tag management system with 50% Broker and 70% Counselor risk. Tag manager (C15 implicit) enables capability expansion; behavioral tracking begins pre-consent.
What This Means For You
Tag manager consent bypass = all loaded vendors violate GDPR Article 6. Behavioral tracking at tag manager layer feeds all downstream vendors, amplifying exposure. Session recording captures all interactions before consent.
Risk Channel Breakdown
Distorts attribution data
Tag manager accesses all page data for distribution to loaded vendors. Behavioral biometrics + session recording operate at tag manager layer.
Expands attack surface
70% Counselor risk reflects consent bypass: tag manager and loaded tags fire before consent, creating widespread GDPR Article 6 violations.
