Block Navigation Until Cookie Consent is Given
👍 Gathering Votes
The Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (AEPD) in Spain states that informed consent must be obtained before using non-essential cookies. It emphasizes that mere inactivity or continued browsing does not constitute valid consent. I would like to offer clients the option to block navigation until the user accepts or customizes their preferences, as this has already been requested by two of my clients in Spain.
Here are two examples where navigation is blocked, or at least the banner remains visible, until the user interacts with the cookie banner:

While this may not currently be a requirement for GDPR compliance, having this option would be a great feature.

I'd love this feature. I want to use Concord not just to accept cookies, but also my Terms of Use and Privacy Notice. Because of this, I want to block any use of my app until the user consents. To use this for cookies but require a different consent mechanism for my Terms and Privacy seems like a bad UX.

This one is under consideration. I should note that when you run Concord in strict blocking mode with express consent mode and with your trackers categorized, that we are compliant with the AEPD and GDPR as we will automatically block categorized non-essential trackers (cookies, scripts, iframes, links, and images) prior to consent. They will only be unblocked after consent is received from the user, so a full block isn't necessary for compliance even though some companies may prefer to force a decision at the beginning. That is one of the advantages of our best-in-class scanning, categorization, and blocking engine, so we typically lean towards the better user experience for the end user and would usually recommend against that type of forced blocking. That said, we understand why some companies may prefer a hard block and will consider this for a future release.
