Got a CIPA demand letter? Know what your site actually did.
Plaintiff firms are mailing CIPA demand letters over Meta Pixel, session replay, chat widgets, and analytics tags. Before you respond, negotiate, or settle, get browser-level evidence of what fired, when the banner appeared, and which vendors received data.
Want the background on how these claims work first?
CIPA website tracking explainedThe letter is written about the first seconds of your page load.
Most CIPA demand letters argue that a tracking tool intercepted visitor communications before any valid consent existed. Whether that story holds up is a browser question, not a policy question, and most teams have never actually looked.
- What loaded and what data moved before the banner was even visible?
- Did reject, opt-out, and GPC choices actually stop the named vendor?
- Can you trace each risky request to the control that caused it?
Why you got this letter
Demand letters are a volume business. Evidence is how you stop being an easy target.
Plaintiff firms scan thousands of sites for pixels, replay scripts, and chat widgets that appear to run before consent, then send templated letters citing CIPA wiretapping and pen-register theories. They are betting you cannot quickly show what your site actually did.
- 01
You submit the site and any tool or claim the letter names. The scan starts right away.
- 02
We capture pre-consent behavior, test every consent state, and trace each finding to its source.
- 03
You and your counsel get a clear record: what fired, when, to whom, and what to fix before the next letter.
Before you respond
Responding without evidence means arguing from your privacy policy and your vendor dashboards, which is exactly the ground plaintiff firms want. Responding with a browser-level record changes the posture: you know whether the claim describes your site, whether it already stopped, and what remains exposed.
ModeConsent does not provide legal advice. We arm the people who do.
What you get
An evidence package built around the claims in your letter.
Named-tool verification
The specific pixel, replay tool, or chat widget cited in the letter is tested directly: does it fire pre-consent, and what does it send?
Consent-state comparison
Accept, reject, opt-out, and GPC states tested side by side so you can see which vendors actually stop when a visitor says no.
Counsel-ready record
Screenshots, request traces, and a source map tying each finding to the CMP rule, GTM tag, or script responsible, packaged for your attorney.

Questions teams ask first
What to know before you reply to the letter.
Is this legal advice?
No. ModeConsent does not provide legal advice and is not a law firm. We produce the technical browser evidence your counsel needs to evaluate the claims in the letter and decide how to respond.
How fast do we see results?
The scan starts as soon as you submit the form. Initial pre-consent findings usually land the same day, with the full consent-state comparison and evidence package following within days, not weeks.
We already removed the tool named in the letter. Does this still help?
Yes. The evidence documents the current state of the site, which matters for showing remediation, and it surfaces any other tools still behaving the same way, so the next letter has nothing new to point at.
What if we plan to settle?
Evidence still changes the conversation. Knowing exactly what fired, when, and to whom helps counsel scope exposure, and the same findings become the repair plan that protects you from the follow-on letters plaintiff firms often send.
