Does this replace legal advice?

No — GDPR Compliance Checklist is a technical tool identifying potential GDPR issues on your website. For complex legal questions about data processing agreements, data protection impact assessments (DPIA) or specific industry regulations you should consult a privacy advisor. But for most websites the checklist covers the most important technical and practical requirements.

Does it work for Norwegian websites specifically?

Yes — the tool is specifically adapted for Nordic conditions. It accounts for data protection authority guidelines, Norwegian personal data law and specific Nordic requirements that may differ from general EU guidelines. This includes requirements for Norwegian-language information and local data processing rules.

How often should I run a GDPR check?

We recommend at least quarterly or whenever you make significant changes to the website — such as adding new third-party tools, changing cookie setup or launching new forms. GDPR requirements also change over time so regular checks ensure you stay up to date.

Does it also check email marketing?

The tool primarily focuses on the website but also analyzes newsletter signup forms and consent flows for email marketing. It checks whether you collect valid consent, have an unsubscribe link and meet the requirements for consent documentation.

Gdpr Compliance Checklist

What it does

Generates a customized GDPR checklist based on site features — cookies, forms, data processing and consent.

GDPR requirements are complex, constantly changing and the consequences of breaking them are severe — but most websites don't even know where they stand

GDPR places strict requirements on how websites collect, store and process personal data. The problem is that the regulation is comprehensive and technical — covering everything from cookie consent and contact forms to third-party integrations and data transfers outside the EU. Most businesses think they're compliant because they have a privacy policy and cookie banner, but in reality they often have dozens of violations they're not aware of. With fines up to 4% of global revenue this is a risk nobody can afford to ignore.

GDPR requirements cover over 50 different areas — from cookie consent and forms to data processing agreements and deletion routines — and most websites fail on several of them
A standard cookie banner and privacy policy isn't enough — GDPR requires documented consent, data minimization and right to deletion that must be technically implemented
Third-party tools like Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel and chatbots often transfer data to the US without valid legal basis — something many aren't aware of
Regulations change regularly with new guidelines from data protection authorities and the EU — what was compliant last year may not be today

Automated GDPR checklist scanning your website and generating a customized action plan based on actual risk

GDPR Compliance Checklist analyzes your website and identifies exactly which GDPR requirements apply to you based on the features you use — cookies, forms, payment solutions, third-party integrations and data processing. Instead of a generic checklist you get a prioritized action plan with concrete measures sorted by risk and severity. The tool accounts for Nordic legislation and data protection authority specific guidelines.

Website scanning: automatically analyzes which cookies, trackers, forms and third-party tools your website uses
Risk assessment: categorizes each finding by severity — critical, high, medium and low risk — so you know what to fix first
Nordic adaptation: accounts for data protection authority guidelines and Nordic practices, not just general EU requirements
Action plan: provides concrete technical instructions for fixing each problem — not just what's wrong but how to solve it

Features

Cookie audit: identifies all cookies and trackers on the website, categorizes them and checks if consent is correctly implemented
Form analysis: verifies that all contact forms, newsletter signups and registration forms collect consent correctly
Third-party check: maps all external services receiving data from the website and assesses whether the data transfer basis is valid
Privacy policy evaluation: analyzes existing privacy policy against GDPR requirements and suggests missing elements

How it works

Enter your website URL and optionally information about industry, target audience and data processing activities
GDPR Compliance Checklist scans the website, identifies cookies, trackers, forms and third-party integrations and assesses GDPR compliance
Get a prioritized checklist with risk assessment, concrete action items and technical instructions to achieve full GDPR compliance

Use cases

Business owners wanting to ensure their website is GDPR compliant before the data protection authority comes knocking — without paying thousands for legal advice
Web developers and agencies needing to deliver GDPR-compliant websites to clients wanting a systematic checklist for quality assurance
Marketers using tracking tools, remarketing and email marketing needing to know exactly which consents are required

Why use GDPR Compliance Checklist?

GDPR fines in the Nordics are increasing dramatically. Data protection authorities in Norway, Sweden and Denmark have all tightened enforcement in recent years and fines don't just hit large companies — small and medium businesses also receive fines for missing cookie consent, invalid data transfers and missing privacy policies. GDPR Compliance Checklist gives you a quick overview of where you stand and what you need to fix.

What makes this tool especially valuable is the Nordic adaptation. Generic GDPR tools focus on EU-level requirements but Nordic countries often have stricter interpretations and specific guidelines. For example the Norwegian data protection authority has its own guidelines for using Google Analytics that differ from other EU countries. The tool accounts for these local nuances.

For agencies and developers this is an invaluable quality assurance tool. Instead of manually checking each website against a long list of requirements you get an automated check catching the most common errors — from missing cookie consent to invalid data transfers to third countries.
