errata'GPC And Consent'
How Global Privacy Control interacts with the public site's strict opt-in cookie model.
Global Privacy Control is a browser-level signal that a visitor does not want sale or sharing of personal information. The public site treats it as a strict privacy preference.
Site behavior
When GPC is detected, errata:
- forces analytics off
- forces marketing off
- sets do-not-sell/share state
- keeps essential cookies available
- shows the detected state on
/cookies
This prevents the splash from importing PostHog, sending analytics requests, or creating PostHog browser storage, even when analytics is enabled for the deployment.
Why honor it now?
GPC is enforced at the same boundary as a visitor rejection. The browser signal, stored consent state, runtime gate, and legal disclosures therefore describe the same behavior.
