What changes against the current site

At Stage 0, analytics and three separate session-replay tools were observed loading on the live site before any consent decision, including on the portal login page, while the consent banner itself was present but not enforcing. The proposed platform blocks every non-essential tag until an explicit opt-in exists, records the decision locally with a policy version, and re-asks when the policy changes.

ProvenanceFindings are from the read-only Stage 0 crawl on 21 August 2026. Retention periods and the final analytics product are subject to the Authority’s DPO decision.
