Should a cookie banner have a reject button?
A consent banner should support a real choice, not only a fast route to Accept.
What you need to know
GDPR consent must be freely given. Designs that hide or unnecessarily complicate rejection can weaken the validity of consent.
Review the first banner layer, visibility of Reject, category controls, settings and whether users can later change their choice.
