Yes

Does the _scid_r cookie require consent?

_scid_r is used for advertising, so under the GDPR and the ePrivacy rules it may only be set after the visitor has agreed. Showing a banner is not enough on its own: the cookie must not be set before the visitor clicks accept.

Does your site set _scid_r before consent?

A free scan loads your site the way a new visitor sees it and lists every cookie that is set before anyone has said yes, _scid_r included.

How to put _scid_r behind consent

Remove the Snapchat Pixel snippet from your site and add your Snapchat Pixel ID under Integrations in Consentify instead. Consentify then loads Snapchat Pixel only after the visitor has accepted advertising, so _scid_r is never set before consent.
