A skill your agent uses when reviewing a website for GDPR/CCPA compliance, specifically whether cookie consent is obtained before non-essential cookies are set.

  • Reviewing a website for GDPR/CCPA compliance
  • SKILL.md covers Quick Reference, Check, Fix and Explain, plus 1 more section
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Specifically whether cookie consent is obtained before non-essential cookies are set

What it does

Cookie Consent is an agent skill from thedaviddias/Front-End-Checklist. Use when reviewing a website for GDPR/CCPA compliance, specifically whether cookie consent is obtained before non-essential cookies are set.

Its SKILL.md is about 640 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/rule.md`).

It sits in Legal & Compliance, covering Privacy and GDPR. The repository describes itself as: 🗂 The essential checklist for modern web development, for humans and AI agents. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Reviewing a website for GDPR/CCPA compliance
  • Specifically whether cookie consent is obtained before non-essential cookies are set

Example prompts

  • “/cookie-consent”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e8d14d0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • frontendchecklist.io

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Cookie Consent loads about 637 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 292 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~39
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~637
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.7k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

GDPR violations can result in fines up to €20 million or 4% of global annual turnover. Regulators across the EU have actively fined organizations for deploying tracking cookies without valid consent.

Quick Reference

  • GDPR requires consent before setting non-essential cookies (analytics, advertising, personalization)
  • Essential/strictly necessary cookies (session, security, login) do not require consent
  • Consent must be freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous — pre-ticked boxes are invalid
  • Users must be able to withdraw consent as easily as they gave it
  • Scripts and pixels must not load until the user has actively accepted their category
  • Non-essential trackers must stay blocked until consent and after revocation

Check

Check whether the site displays a cookie consent notice before setting non-essential cookies. Verify that analytics, advertising, and tracking scripts do not load until the user has actively accepted. Check whether users can reject non-essential cookies without losing access to content.

Fix

Implement a cookie consent management platform (CMP) that blocks non-essential scripts until consent is granted. Configure analytics and tracking tags to initialize only after explicit consent. Provide a mechanism for users to change their consent preferences at any time.

Explain

Explain what GDPR requires for cookie consent, the difference between essential and non-essential cookies, why pre-ticked boxes are invalid consent, and what a technically compliant consent implementation looks like.

Code Review

Review server config, headers, forms, and integration points related to Show a cookie consent notice. Flag exact responses, cookies, or browser behaviors that violate the rule, and verify them against the effective production-like response. Check that tracker initialization is gated on consent and that a persistent "change cookie settings" path exists after the banner is gone.
