TLDR: Vibe coding is all about shipping fast with AI assistance. But GDPR doesn't care about your velocity. GetCookies bridges the gap.

The Vibe Coder's Dilemma

You're in the zone. Claude is generating React components. Cursor is autocompleting your routes. You've shipped three features before lunch.

Then your co-founder asks: "Hey, are we GDPR compliant?" And your vibe is dead.

Why GDPR Kills the Vibe

GDPR compliance traditionally means 4+ hours of research, vendor comparison, multi-day GTM integration, testing, and legal review. That's not a task - that's a project.

The Vibe Coder's Solution

What if GDPR compliance was just another prompt?

You: "Add GDPR-compliant cookie consent"
Claude: "Add this to your <head>:
<script src="https://getcookies.co/api/v1/widget/loader.js"
        data-domain-id="your-id" async></script>"

That's GetCookies. GDPR compliance that fits in a prompt.

What GDPR Actually Requires

  1. Prior Consent - GetCookies sets all signals to denied before anything fires
  2. Informed Consent - Clear banner with category descriptions
  3. Granular Choice - Built-in preference center
  4. Easy Withdrawal - Privacy badge for instant access
  5. Proof of Consent - Every consent logged for audits

The 30-Second Integration

# 1. Sign up at getcookies.co
# 2. Add your domain, get ID
# 3. Add to HTML
# 4. git push

Your vibe: intact. Your compliance: handled.

GetCookies: GDPR compliance that doesn't kill your vibe.
