Cookie notices are operational

Cookie banners describe user choices at the point of collection. Privacy policies explain the broader processing context.

The two should agree on categories, vendors, purposes, and retention where possible.

Mismatch creates risk

If the banner says analytics are optional but the policy says analytics are always collected, the experience feels inconsistent and review risk rises.

Turn this into a check

Normio separates GDPR readiness findings from third-party disclosure gaps, so legal and product teams can fix the right issue without losing the thread.
