How to block cookies and trackers with JavaScript rewrite
This guide explains you how to block cookies and plugins with Secure Privacy using Javascript rewrite.
To block cookies and trackers you need to change the attributes of the script tags on your website. Follow these steps to change the attributes.
- Apply the attribute sp-consent="PLUGIN NAME" to the script/image tags on your website. Depending on where you have installed the plugins, this may be inside a module, plugin or directly on your website. Make sure that you write the exact plugin name, which appears on your Scan Report.
- On script tags change the attribute 'type' from 'text/javascript' to 'text/plain'.
- If you are using a pixel tracker (image trackers), then change the attribute “src” from “src” to “data-src”.
Here is an example of how it would look after you have modified a Google Analytics script.
Normal script tags look like this:
<script type="text/javascript"> code…
</script>
Using script type re-writing, you need to change the scripts to:
<script type="text/plain" sp-consent="Google Analytics"> code…
</script>
Mobile App Privacy Compliance Guide: GDPR, CCPA & Beyond
Your app is live. Downloads are growing. Then someone in legal asks: "What happens when an analytics SDK fires before the consent banner resolves?" You review the network logs and discover that device identifiers are being transmitted to three different ad networks within 200 milliseconds of app launch — before a single user has touched the consent interface. The banner looked correct. The underlying behavior was not. That gap is where enforcement happens.

Data Residency Requirements: EU vs US Explained
Your SaaS platform serves users in Germany, France, and California. Your infrastructure runs on AWS us-east-1. Your analytics vendor is headquartered in San Francisco. Your customer support tool uses a helpdesk provider with data centers in Virginia. Each of these arrangements involves the transfer or storage of personal data in ways that intersect with two fundamentally different regulatory philosophies — and the cost of misunderstanding those differences is climbing. Meta's €1.2 billion fine for unlawful EU-US data transfers remains the largest single GDPR penalty on record. TikTok absorbed €530 million in 2025 for failing to protect EEA user data from unauthorized access in China. Cumulative GDPR fines have now passed €7.1 billion.
