It's More Than Just a Fine
When most people think of non-compliance, they think of the massive fines from the ICO or other EU bodies (up to 4% of global annual revenue).
But for 99% of businesses, the real cost isn't the fine. It's the erosion of user trust.
The Hidden Costs
Lost Conversions: A clunky, confusing, or "scammy" cookie banner is the first thing a user sees. If it looks untrustworthy, they will simply bounce. You've lost a customer before they've even seen your product.
Damaged Brand Reputation: Your cookie banner is your first handshake. A professional, clear banner says "we respect you and your privacy." A poorly designed one says "we don't care" or, worse, "we are trying to trick you."
Inaccurate Data: If your banner is non-compliant (e.g., scripts fire before consent), your analytics data is tainted. You're making business decisions based on flawed information.
A clean, fast, and respectful consent experience, like the one LoveCookies provides, is a direct investment in your brand's reputation and your bottom line.
