Does the CLID cookie require consent?
CLID is used for analytics, 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 CLID 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, CLID included.
How to put CLID behind consent
Remove the Microsoft Clarity snippet from your site and add your Microsoft Clarity ID under Integrations in Consentify instead. Consentify then loads Microsoft Clarity only after the visitor has accepted analytics, so CLID is never set before consent.
