GDPR

Consent-enforced · architecture-level · all plans

Compliance isn't a checkbox. It's the architecture.

Most ad tracking tools are structurally non-compliant: pixels fire on page load, before the user has given consent. Motiv is different: consent is verified at the server level before any data leaves. There is no toggle to get wrong.

The problem

Browser pixels are structurally non-compliant.

A browser pixel fires the moment a page loads. That is always before the user has seen, let alone accepted, a consent dialog. GDPR requires consent before data collection. The timing gap is the violation.

Traditional browser pixel

1

User visits a page

2

Browser pixel fires immediately

3

Data sent to Google / Meta

4

Consent dialog appears, after the fact

Data was already sent before consent could be given. GDPR violation.

Motiv — server-side architecture

1

User converts (order, form, deal)

2

Server webhook received by Motiv

3

Consent status verified

4

Dispatched, only if consent is valid

Consent is verified before dispatch. Architecturally enforced.

How it works

The consent gate: built into every dispatch.

Every conversion that arrives in Motiv passes through a consent verification layer before it can be dispatched to any ad platform. Not as an optional step, but as an architectural requirement.

Server-side only. No browser pixel.

Motiv receives conversions via secure server webhooks, not a browser script. No pixel fires on page load. There is no client-side code that can send data before consent has been established, because the browser is never part of the dispatch pipeline.

Consent verified before every dispatch.

Before any conversion data is forwarded to an ad platform, Motiv verifies the consent status of that user. If consent is missing, expired, or invalid, the conversion is classified as Restricted. Dispatch is blocked, automatically, every time.

Architecturally enforced. Not a setting.

The consent check is built into the technical dispatch pipeline. It cannot be accidentally toggled off, forgotten in a configuration update, or bypassed by a developer mistake. The architecture makes non-compliant dispatch structurally impossible.

Consent types

Three ways consent reaches Motiv.

Consent doesn't always come from a cookie banner. Motiv recognises three distinct consent sources and applies the right logic to each.

Website CMP

Cookie banner

The visitor accepts marketing consent on your website through your consent management platform. The click ID is stored and the conversion is classified as Observed, eligible for dispatch to your ad platforms.

Source Asserted

Platform-native lead forms

For platform-native lead forms like Meta Lead Ads and TikTok Lead Gen, the platform shows its own privacy statement inside the ad form. Dispatch goes exclusively back to the originating platform.

CRM Import

Consent field in your CRM

Consent is recorded in a CRM field on an existing contact. Motiv reads that field when it processes a CRM event, so a closed deal is only dispatched when valid consent is present.

Observed & Restricted

Every conversion classified. None invisible.

Motiv doesn't silently drop conversions without consent. It classifies every one, so you see exactly what your ad platform receives and exactly what it misses.

Every conversion classified.

Every conversion that arrives in Motiv is labelled either Observed (consent present, eligible for dispatch) or Restricted (no consent, blocked). There is no unclassified middle ground.

Restricted stays visible, not lost.

Restricted conversions are stored internally and visible in your dashboard. They are not dispatched to ad platforms, but they are not invisible either. You see them as your Attribution Gap in euros.

Attribution gap in euros.

Motiv shows you exactly how much revenue your ad algorithm isn't seeing, broken down by channel. That number makes the cost of a bad cookie banner concrete and actionable.

EU: GDPR

Netherlands, Germany, France, Belgium, and all EU member states

Opt-inExplicit marketing consent required before any data is sent.

Motiv applies strict opt-in logic for all EU traffic. No data reaches an ad platform unless the user has actively given marketing consent. This covers all EU member states under the General Data Protection Regulation.

Opt-inConsent model mirrors EU GDPR requirements.

UK GDPR and Australian Privacy Act rules follow a similar consent model to EU GDPR. Motiv applies the correct opt-in logic automatically for visitors from these jurisdictions.

Opt-outData can flow unless the user has explicitly opted out.

California's Consumer Privacy Act uses an opt-out model: data processing is permitted unless the user has exercised their right to opt out. Motiv handles this automatically, different consent logic, applied to the correct visitors.

EU data residency

Your data never leaves the EU.

Where your data is hosted is a compliance decision, not a technical detail. Motiv runs entirely on EU infrastructure, with residency guaranteed in writing.

Hosted on Hetzner, in the EU

All Motiv data lives on Hetzner infrastructure in Nuremberg and Helsinki. Nothing runs on US-controlled cloud.

No data leaves the EU or EEA

Your visitors' and customers' data is processed and stored exclusively within the EU and EEA. No transatlantic transfers.

ISO 27001 certified

Hetzner's data centres are ISO 27001 certified, with audited physical and information security controls.

Guaranteed by contract

EU data residency isn't a best-effort promise. It's contractually guaranteed in your Data Processing Agreement.

A structural advantage US tools can't offer.

Triple Whale, Northbeam and Hyros are US-hosted. For EU businesses, that means your data sits under US jurisdiction. Motiv keeps everything in the EU by design.
