What it is
The GDPR / privacy compliance fix is a practical audit of your website and how you handle people's data, followed by the fixes. For most small businesses that means: a privacy policy that actually describes what you do, a cookie-consent setup that works, forms that collect data lawfully, and analytics that respects visitors' choices.
It's not about turning your business into a compliance department. It's about the things the ICO actually looks at for a small business: do you have a policy, do you get proper consent, are you collecting only what you need, and can you prove it?
The same rules that carry fines also carry an upside: a site that handles data properly looks more professional, and it unlocks the advertising and analytics tools that require consent before they'll work.
How it helps your business
- You stop carrying the risk. The fine for getting this wrong starts at real money — the fix costs a fraction of the risk.
- Your marketing tools actually work. Consent-based analytics and advertising are the only kinds that function properly now.
- Customers trust you with their details. A clear privacy policy and honest consent build the trust that converts.
- Email lists get lawful. If you collect addresses, they're collected properly — which means you can actually use them.
What it costs
Every business is different, so each build is priced individually based on size and complexity — you get the figure before anything starts. Anything with AI running in it also has a monthly running cost from month two, covering usage, monitoring and updates.
Early Glasgow businesses can lock in founding-partner pricing — your rate never increases, even as our prices rise for new customers. Ask when you enquire.
Every site we build — including this one — runs the same consent setup we'd install for you.
Frequently asked questions
Is this legal advice?
No. We implement the standard, ICO-aligned setup that applies to almost every small business website — policies, consent, forms, data handling. If your situation is genuinely complex, we'll say so and point you to a solicitor who specialises in it.
What do I actually get?
A privacy policy written for your business, a working cookie-consent setup, compliant contact and enquiry forms, lawful-basis checks on any email marketing, and analytics set up with consent. You get a checklist of what was fixed.
Do I really need a cookie banner?
If your site uses analytics, advertising or any tracking cookies — which most sites do — then yes. It's not bureaucracy; it's the difference between collecting data lawfully and not.
I bought an email list. Can I email them?
Usually not. Buying a list and emailing it isn't lawful marketing — the people on it haven't consented to hear from you. Part of the compliance fix is cleaning up how you collect and use addresses going forward.
How long does the fix take?
Most small business sites are brought into line in a matter of days. We audit first, tell you exactly what's wrong, and fix it.
What does it cost?
Quoted for your business based on the audit — a simple site with clear issues is a simple job, and we price it that way.
