Recognised tracker signature without a supported consent signal in complete static evidence
ShipReady found a recognised analytics or advertising tracker signature in complete static page evidence and did not find a supported consent-mechanism signal in that evidence.
Why it matters
A recognised tracker reference in static page evidence is useful to review against the product's intended consent and tag-loading design.
How ShipReady detects it
What it inspects
ShipReady parses static fetch-bearing resource references and executable inline page code for supported tracker signatures. It also uses static consent signals and captured response cookie names in its consent classifier; referenced resources are parsed, not fetched.
What triggers a finding
The rule triggers when a recognised tracker signature is present and no supported consent-mechanism signal is found in complete, untruncated static page evidence. A tracking cookie is not required.
What the evidence shows
A recognised tracker signature appeared in the inspected static evidence, and the scanner did not find one of its supported consent-mechanism signals there.
Limits of this check
ShipReady does not fetch the referenced resources, execute JavaScript, observe browser storage, interact with a consent interface, or observe user choices. It stays silent on truncated pages because a supported signal may be beyond the captured body, and it does not assess legal compliance.
How to fix it
Identify the referenced integration
Identify which integration contributes the reported static tracker signature and confirm whether it is intentional.
Review the intended loading design
Configure and test the integration according to the product's intended consent and tag-loading design, including the states the product actually supports.
How to verify the change
Verify the intended browser flow
Use a clean browser profile and network inspection to compare actual resource loading across the product's available consent states.
Expected: Runtime tracker loading matches the product's intended design.
