Trackers that fire before consent: the Law 25 exposure (English)
Under Quebec's Law 25, tracking that collects personal information before the person has been able to make a choice is a common gap. Strictly necessary cookies are generally accepted, but analytics, advertising, and third-party tracking that transmit data before consent raise a consent issue. The most reliable way to check is to observe the network calls your page makes on load, before any interaction with the banner. HelionAI's free scan loads your homepage in a real headless browser and observes whether known trackers transmit data before consent. It counts only genuine data-transmitting calls, not a mere tracker-library file load, so a loaded script is not reported as firing. This is a signal, not a legal audit.
