TrustArc Compliance Checker Verify Your Consent Setup
TrustArc is a leading enterprise privacy management platform trusted by thousands of organizations. But consent configuration alone does not guarantee compliance - third-party scripts, tag manager deployments, and CMS plugins can drop cookies outside TrustArc's blocking layer.
We work alongside TrustArc - not against it
TrustArc manages your privacy program and consent configuration. We independently verify that configuration produces the right outcome in a real browser - catching gaps that TrustArc cannot see from inside the page.
What we verify that TrustArc alone cannot confirm
TrustArc manages consent preferences. These six checks require independent observation from outside the page.
| Check | Why TrustArc alone cannot confirm it |
|---|---|
| Pre-consent cookies | TrustArc manages consent preferences through its consent dialog, but third-party scripts loaded via tag managers or hardcoded in page templates can fire before TrustArc initializes. |
| Google Consent Mode v2 signals | TrustArc integrates with Google Consent Mode, but all 4 v2 signals (ad_storage, analytics_storage, ad_user_data, ad_personalization) need external verification to confirm correct timing and values. |
| Reject All enforcement | TrustArc provides the preference manager UI, but a new marketing tag, GTM update, or CMS plugin can bypass blocking rules without triggering any TrustArc alerts. |
| GPC signal handling | TrustArc supports Global Privacy Control configuration, but verifying that GPC actually suppresses non-essential cookies requires a browser-level test with the signal enabled. |
| Dark pattern checks | TrustArc offers customizable banner layouts. Implementation decisions around button placement, color contrast, and reject option visibility need independent evaluation against EDPB guidelines. |
| Multi-region behavior (up to 15 regions) | TrustArc supports geo-targeted consent rules. We verify from actual EU, California, UK, and other jurisdiction IPs that the right banner variant loads in each region. |
