Laioutr Is GDPR-Compliant by Design: Here’s What That Means for You
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 personalizes UX without clear consent—you’re at risk.
Compliant with GDPR Standards

Safe Integration with External APIs
Laioutr lets you bring in data from: CMS, Search or PIM. No unauthorized data leakage.
Full Control Over Tracking Scripts
Marketers can use Laioutr Studio to place analytics or marketing tags, but only within components or containers you approve.
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.
