Legal & Compliance
Learn how Sealmetrics ensures GDPR, CNIL, UK PECR, and ePrivacy compliance while enabling consentless analytics. This section provides comprehensive legal documentation for implementing privacy-first web analytics in the European Union, United Kingdom, and beyond.
Understanding the legal framework behind consentless analytics is essential for making informed decisions about your analytics stack. We explain the regulatory foundations, why a dataset holding no personal data falls outside the GDPR's material scope (Recital 26), and how the architecture maps onto the audience-measurement criteria published by authorities such as the CNIL — so you can measure without cookie banners or a consent management platform.
