Do I need a cookie banner?

If your website has Google Analytics, Meta Pixel or similar tools, yes: such cookies and scripts may load only after the visitor gives consent (clicks "Accept"), with a clear notice and an equally easy "Reject". Essential cookies (basket, login) need no consent. Without tracking tools you need no banner. Checked by the data protection authority (in Croatia AZOP; HAKOM for electronic communications). This card is being checked: the article of the Croatian Electronic Communications Act is being confirmed.

Who must?

Anyone whose website has analytics, ad pixels or embedded videos/maps that set cookies.

What to do?

1. List the scripts and cookies on the site (the Website radar shows the most common ones).
2. Set up a banner that loads non-essential scripts only after consent, with an equally visible "Reject".
3. Describe the cookies in the privacy notice: which, why, for how long.

Where to file?

Nothing is filed; consents are logged in the cookie tool.

Who checks?

Data protection authority (AZOP); HAKOM for electronic communications

Fine

GDPR: up to 20 million € or 4 % of turnover (art. 83); the national electronic communications act sets its own fines.

We are confirming the amount in the source before we publish it.

What if I am already late?

First remove the tracking tools or make them conditional on consent; a banner that does not actually block scripts is worth nothing.
