Third-party trackers like Meta Pixel and Google Analytics can collect IP addresses, device identifiers, and health-related page URLs from your visitors. HHS clarified in December 2022 that when this data can be linked to an identifiable individual and relates to health or healthcare, it constitutes PHI, making the transmission an impermissible disclosure. ### Does a cookie consent banner satisfy HIPAA authorization requirements? No. HIPAA authorization under §164.508 requires a specific, signed document with defined elements. A cookie banner click meets none of these requirements. Cookiebot's value is as a blocker that prevents the disclosure from occurring, not as a consent mechanism for sharing PHI. ### What trackers does Cookiebot detect on healthcare websites? Cookiebot's patented scanning detects every cookie, tracker, pixel, and embedded script, including those injected dynamically by tag managers or third-party widgets. ### Can I block trackers on some pages but not others? Yes. You can permanently block trackers on sensitive pages (such as those covering conditions, treatments, or patient portals) while allowing consent-based analytics on general pages like careers or press releases. ### How does Cookiebot work with Google Consent Mode? Cookiebot is a Google-certified CMP partner with native Consent Mode v2 support. You receive aggregated, non-identifying analytics even when individual tracking is blocked. ### Does Cookiebot monitor server-side data flows? No. Cookiebot operates at the browser level, controlling client-side cookies and scripts. Server-side data transmissions require separate safeguards. ### Will Cookiebot sign a Business Associate Agreement? Yes. Usercentrics is prepared to execute BAAs with covered entities. Contact our team to initiate the process. ### What certifications does Cookiebot hold? SOC 2 Type 2 attestation, ISO 27001, ISO 27701, HIPAA-aligned controls, and Google-certified CMP partner status. Note that HIPAA has no official HHS certification program. ### Does Cookiebot replace our HIPAA compliance program? No. Cookiebot addresses one specific risk vector: impermissible PHI disclosure through web-based trackers. It does not replace a compliance officer, risk analysis program, workforce training, or other required elements. ### How do I get started? Run a free scan to see what trackers are active.
