Does the taboola_session_id cookie require consent?

taboola_session_id 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 taboola_session_id 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, taboola_session_id included.

How to put taboola_session_id behind consent

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