A fresh-visitor public review of visible cookie controls, privacy information and public data-collection signals on the National Accident Law website.

Fresh-Visitor Public Check

Scope

Visible Public Signals

82out of 100

Detailed settings and category information, with first-layer balance to improve

The public website presents “Manage cookies” and “Accept” at first layer. The settings view states that only Essential Cookies are active by default, separates Essential and Performance Cookies, and provides “Accept all” plus “Save my choices” routes. The key public review point is whether visitors can decline non-essential cookies as directly as they can accept them, and whether the published cookie categories accurately reflect the live analytics and third-party technologies.

Technical tag behaviour not tested

Privacy information

24 / 25

Separate Privacy and Cookie Policy pages are publicly available, with clear controller and compliance contact information.

Cookie choices

18 / 25

A Manage Cookies route is visible and settings state that only Essential Cookies are active by default. A one-click Reject All option was not identified at first layer.

Cookie information

15 / 15

The Cookie Policy describes Essential and Performance Cookies and identifies Google Analytics, YouTube, Google Optimize and Hotjar.

Form transparency

10 / 15

Public callback forms request name, phone and accident-type details, with a clear link to the Privacy Policy.

Choice persistence

15 / 20

The settings view includes Save My Choices and refers visitors to cookie permissions above. Permanent post-choice reopening behaviour was not fully tested.

Why the score is 82, not a compliance verdict
This score reflects visible public evidence only. It gives credit for a detailed cookie policy, clear category information, a settings route and published wording that only Essential Cookies are active by default. Points are held back because the first layer presents Accept and Manage Cookies rather than a directly visible Reject All option, and because this review did not technically inspect browser storage, scripts, tags, category defaults or the operational effect of saving preferences. It is not a legal conclusion.
What was directly visible in this check
The first-layer notice states that cookies are used to provide a better website experience, understand website use and provide relevant advertising. It presents “Manage cookies” and “Accept”. The settings view states that, by default, only Essential Cookies are active, identifies Essential Cookies as always active and describes separate Performance Cookies. It provides “Accept all” and “Save my choices” actions. The Cookie Policy identifies Google Analytics, YouTube, Google Optimize and Hotjar under Performance Cookies.
What this check did not test
This public check did not inspect browser storage, cookie values, network requests, tag-manager settings, analytics requests, advertising pixels or Consent Mode behaviour. It did not determine whether Google Analytics, YouTube, Google Optimize, Hotjar or other non-essential technologies are technically prevented from loading until the relevant choice is saved, whether every category is defaulted off, or whether cookie preferences can be reopened across the full website after an initial choice.
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.

Review findings

Visible Consent and Privacy Signals

Cookie Notice

  • Visible “Manage cookies” route identified
  • Visible “Accept” action identified
  • Settings state that only Essential Cookies are active by default
  • “Accept all” and “Save my choices” actions identified in settings
  • One-click “Reject All” was not identified at first layer

The website provides a genuine settings route and useful default-state wording. A more balanced first layer would make it easier for visitors to decline non-essential cookies without taking an additional settings step.

Cookie & Privacy Information

  • Separate Cookie Policy and Privacy Policy pages available
  • Cookie Policy includes a dedicated Manage Your Cookies section
  • Essential Cookies identified as always active
  • Performance Cookies described as anonymised visitor analytics
  • Google Analytics, YouTube, Google Optimize and Hotjar listed

The public cookie information is detailed and practical. The main ongoing review point is whether the live cookie inventory and consent categories stay aligned with all technologies actually operating on the website.

Public Data Collection

  • Public callback form requests first name, last name and phone number
  • Visitors choose an accident type in the public form
  • Public form links to the Privacy Policy
  • Privacy Policy identifies the firm as data controller
  • Compliance contact details are published

This review does not assess backend form configuration, lawful basis, data retention, security arrangements, claim records or client-case processing.

What a Deeper Review Would Check

The visible settings design provides useful public information, but it does not establish how the website behaves in a clean browser before and after a visitor makes a selection. A technical review would compare cookies, browser storage, network requests and page behaviour before interaction, after Accept, after saving only Essential Cookies and after any category-level change.

The practical review point is whether Google Analytics, YouTube, Google Optimize, Hotjar and any other non-essential technologies remain inactive until the relevant preference is saved, and whether the Cookie Policy, Privacy Policy and live consent controls consistently describe the same technologies and purposes.

Suggested technical scope

  • Clean-browser baseline
  • Cookie and browser-storage review
  • Network-request and tag-firing review
  • Accept versus essential-only comparison
  • Settings default-state review
  • Save My Choices and reopen-route review
  • Google Analytics, YouTube, Hotjar and Optimize check
  • Policy wording versus live-site comparison
