Does my portfolio need a cookie banner?

By default, Bablab websites do not use cookies or trackers, so a cookie banner is often unnecessary. If you add third-party scripts, Bablab provides a compliant consent manager.

Is Bablab GDPR compliant?

Yes. Bablab uses privacy-by-design principles, including data minimization and anonymous analytics, to ensure full compliance with GDPR and CCPA.

Privacy by Design: Building Trust in a Post-Cookie World

In 2026, privacy is the new gold standard for digital professionalism. As visitors become more protective of their data and search engines prioritize "Privacy-First" websites, how you handle user information defines your brand. Bablab is built with Privacy by Design, ensuring your portfolio is a safe harbor for your work and your visitors.

Encrypted & Secure: The Default Standard

Every Bablab website is fully encrypted (HTTPS) by default. We handle the issuance and automatic renewal of SSL certificates for you, ensuring that the connection between your creative work and your audience is always secure from malicious third parties. Whether you use a custom domain or a Bablab subdomain, security is never an "add-on", it's the foundation.

The Power of a "Walled Garden"

Unlike open-source platforms that rely on a patchwork of third-party plugins, Bablab is a secure, integrated ecosystem. By eliminating external scripts and plugins, we remove the most common entry points for malware and data leaks. Our core is built on pure, audited Javascript, tested rigorously for vulnerabilities to keep your site fast and your data untouchable.

Zero-Cookie Compliance (GDPR, CCPA & Beyond)

The era of invasive tracking is over. By default, Bablab websites do not install cookies or trackers on your visitors' browsers. This means:

No Cookie Banners Required: If you don't add third-party trackers, you don't need those intrusive popups that ruin your portfolio's aesthetic.
Instant Compliance: You are natively compliant with global regulations like GDPR and CCPA without lifting a finger.

If you choose to integrate third-party tools (like Google Analytics), we provide a built-in, elegant cookie consent manager that respects user choice without using "dark patterns" or manipulative design.

Ethical Analytics: Insights Without Intrusion

You shouldn't have to spy on your visitors to understand your traffic. Bablab provides high-level, privacy-friendly analytics based on anonymous server logs. You get the data you need like view counts and geographic trends - without ever collecting personally identifiable information (PII).

For those who need deeper metrics, we fully support non-intrusive tools like Plausible Analytics, allowing you to grow your business while remaining 100% ethical.
