If you're running an e-commerce business in the EU or anywhere with strict privacy laws, GDPR compliance isn't optional. It's a legal necessity and a trust signal to your customers.

But what about your frontend?

In a composable headless stack, the frontend often handles everything from cookies to customer tracking, personalization, and analytics injection. And if your frontend platform isn’t privacy-aware, you’re exposed, even if your backend is buttoned up.

That’s why Laioutr is built to be GDPR-compliant by default, so you can move fast without risking fines.

First: What Does GDPR Mean for Frontends?

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) governs how businesses collect, store, and process personal data of EU users.

For frontend platforms, this includes:

• Cookies and trackers (marketing, analytics, personalization)

• Consent management (when and how it’s collected)

• Data passed to third-party services (e.g. Algolia, CMS, PIM, etc.)

• Storing any user-specific content (e.g. preferences, cart data, UGC)

• Transparency in how the frontend interacts with APIs

If your frontend injects scripts, loads third-party tools, or personalises UX without clear consent you’re at risk.

How Laioutr Ensures GDPR Compliance

At Laioutr, we’ve built GDPR compliance into the foundation of our Frontend Management Platform, so you don’t need to reinvent privacy every time you launch a page.

1. No Data Stored on Laioutr by Default

Laioutr doesn’t store or process end-customer data. We manage and deliver frontend content—not customer profiles or behavioral data. You stay in control of your customer data architecture.

2. Consent-Aware Frontend Components

Our component library supports:

• Cookie consent banners

• Region-based content blocking

• Conditional rendering based on consent state
  You can easily integrate with popular CMPs like Cookiebot, Usercentrics, or your own logic.

3. Edge Delivery with No Customer Tracking

Laioutr uses edge CDN delivery for performance, not for tracking. Your pages are served fast—without sacrificing user privacy.

4. Safe Integration with External APIs

Laioutr lets you bring in data from:

• CMS (e.g. Storyblok)

• Search (e.g. Algolia)

• PIM (e.g. Prodexa, Akeneo)

But you decide when and how that data is pulled, based on consent state or page context. No unauthorised data leakage.

5. Full Control Over Tracking Scripts

Marketers can use Laioutr Studio to place analytics or marketing tags—but only within components or containers you approve. Developers can enforce rules to prevent tracking before consent.

What Happens If You Ignore GDPR in the Frontend?

• 💸 Fines of up to €20M or 4% of global revenue

• 💔 Loss of customer trust from poor privacy practices

• 🚫 Blocked access to EU markets if non-compliant

• 😵 Legal complexity from third-party script mishandling

And in headless setups, where the frontend operates independently from the backend, the risk increases, because the frontend handles content rendering, UX personalization, and integrations.

That’s why Laioutr’s frontend-focused compliance model is so important.
