What research says
undefined
- Whether a cookie banner helps or hurts tends to be context-dependent; evaluate it against the specific shopper question it answers across pages, not as a universal best practice.Inferred

- Shoppers tend to process cookie banners in seconds; clarity and a single obvious purpose tend to outperform dense or decorative variants.Inferred
- 0 of 7 sampled real stores implement this approach.
