Why the score is 47, not a compliance verdict
The score reflects what was visibly evidenced in this public review. It rewards accessible privacy information, but gives limited points where the site did not clearly show an immediate reject route, preferences control or a route to revisit a choice. It is not a legal conclusion.
What was directly visible in this check
The homepage stated that cookies are used to give visitors the best experience, presented an “Ok” action and linked to the Privacy Policy. The site also displayed contact and newsletter forms. The public Privacy Policy refers to the use of cookies to track website activity and says visitors may refuse cookies through browser settings.
What this check did not test
This public check did not inspect browser storage, cookies, network requests, tag-manager settings, analytics or advertising pixels. It did not determine how any scripts operate before or after the “Ok” action, nor whether different visitor states display additional controls.
Important: This is a Public Visibility & Transparency Score based on observed public evidence. It is not a GDPR, PECR, legal or formal compliance score, and it does not determine how scripts, cookies, pixels or tags operate in every consent state.

What a Deeper Review Would Check

The publicly visible notice is not enough on its own to establish how the website behaves. A technical review would create a clean-browser baseline and compare cookies, browser storage, network requests and visible page changes before interaction, after the “Ok” action and across any additional consent routes identified.

Because Social Ant promotes services including SEO, paid media, Facebook advertising and social media management, a structured review of any related public tracking signals would be a useful next step. This page does not attribute any technology to the site without technical evidence.

Suggested technical scope

  • Clean-browser baseline
  • Cookie and browser-storage review
  • Network-request and tag-firing review
  • Check for a preferences route
  • Developer-ready action list
