Data Protection & Consent Management
Build data protection into the technology – instead of adding it afterwards.
Websites and digital applications can process personal data long before a visitor submits a contact form. Analytics, external fonts, videos, maps, booking systems, payment providers, marketing services and embedded content can transfer data to different providers. That is why we take technical data protection requirements into account from the concept and implementation stages onwards.
What we implement technically
We first examine which services and data flows are technically in place. Building on this, we implement the agreed consent and data protection requirements in the application.
Analysis of technical data flows
We examine which external services are integrated, which technical data flows arise and where data protection requirements need to be taken into account. This may include:
- analytics
- tag managers
- embedded videos
- maps
- appointment booking
- payment providers
- external fonts
- social media integrations
- contact forms
- marketing services
Consent management
If services require prior consent, they can be integrated technically through consent management. This may include:
- consent banner and settings dialog
- categories and individual services
- cookie and service information
- withdrawal options
- language versions
- controlled loading of external services
- documentation of the consent configuration
Google Consent Mode
Where Google services are used, we integrate Consent Mode in line with the chosen technical and legal requirements.
The required consent signals are configured with suitable default values and updated after the visitor’s decision. The specific implementation – for example in Basic or Advanced Consent Mode – is determined to suit the project. Google Consent Mode complements consent management but does not replace it.
Privacy-friendly integrations
Where appropriate, we also assess whether external services can be integrated differently or avoided altogether. Examples:
- locally hosted fonts
- maps and videos only after approval
- data-minimising embeds
- self-hosted or data-minimising alternatives
- fewer external dependencies
- avoiding services that are not needed
Forms & data transmission
Contact, enquiry and booking forms are implemented according to the agreed scope of data. We ensure secure transmission, traceable processing and the avoidance of unnecessary data fields.
Multilingual consent structures
For international websites, we also take consent information and settings into account in the respective language versions.
Documentation
The services used and technical data flows are documented in a traceable way.
This makes both ongoing operations and later changes to privacy information or integrated services easier.
What does this mean for you?
- Data protection requirements are considered from the very beginning of the project.
- Services classified as requiring consent can be technically blocked until the corresponding approval is given.
- Unnecessary external services and data transfers can be avoided wherever possible.
- The services used are documented clearly, making future changes easier to implement.
Important
We provide the technical implementation of defined data protection and compliance requirements, but do not replace individual legal advice.
Legal assessments, consent requirements and legal texts can, where necessary, be coordinated with your responsible legal counsel and then implemented technically by us.

Should data protection be built in technically from the start?
In the initial consultation, we clarify which data protection and consent requirements are relevant for your project.
