LegisCheck.eu review

In this article

LegisCheck.eu compares what a public website or online shop actually does with what EU law requires of it. The scope spans ePrivacy consent and cookies, GDPR information duties, provider information under the e-Commerce Directive, consumer-law duties of online shops and transport security. Its free basic check (EU-LC-F0) visits the home page and as many as four legal subpages the way a visitor on a mobile phone would, logs cookies and third-party requests before and after “Reject” is clicked, and gives the legal basis for every result. Sites with no findings get a certificate that can be verified for a year. Two one-off technical audits cost €79 and €199 excluding VAT.

Why it is our Editor’s choice: it has the highest overall score in this comparison, 8.3/10; it scores highest on breadth of legal checks and joint-highest on quality of evidence and time to first result; it checks 6 of the 7 legal areas we track, more than any other service in this review; it ties every finding to a legal source in a catalogue of 896 EU obligations, the widest legal coverage in this comparison; and its basic check is free and needs no registration.

01In detail

The service is a checker rather than a consent tool. It approaches a site as a visitor would and measures it against a catalogue of 896 website-relevant obligations under EU law, each linked to its legal source. The free basic check, level EU-LC-F0 (TA-S · Automated Screening), works without registration. It loads the home page in a clean browser profile, from an EU address and with an ordinary Chrome-on-Android identity, then reads up to four subpages: the privacy notice, the imprint or contact page, the terms, and a product or withdrawal page. Consent is tested three times: before any interaction, after “Reject”, and once more with the banner reopened. Along the way it logs cookies, local storage and third-party requests, compares the computed styles of the Accept and Reject buttons, and verifies that tracking stops once the visitor refuses.

The check reaches well beyond cookies. It reads the privacy notice for the controller, legal basis, retention, rights and the right to complain to a supervisory authority; looks for provider information under Article 5 of Directive 2000/31/EC; tests e-shop duties under the Consumer Rights Directive, such as withdrawal information and the model form; applies the prior-lowest-price rule for discounts; confirms HTTPS and certificate validity; and covers selected points of the Digital Services Act and the AI Act. Basic accessibility signals are noted for information only. National legal acts are applied by region, and 17 countries are checked.

Uncertain results are handled conservatively. Until a check has reached at least 95% precision across two tuning rounds, it only reports a “possible shortcoming”. Every result states that it is an automated technical check at a stated time, not a legal assessment. When nothing is found, the site receives a “Certificate of a check against EU law requirements” carrying the level code, the methodology version and a SHA-256 fingerprint of the check record; a QR code lets anyone verify it for one year, and an embeddable badge is provided.

There are two paid levels, both one-off and delivered as HTML and PDF reports: technical audit EU-LC-T1 (TA-G · General Obligations) at €79 excluding VAT, and EU-LC-T2 (TA-GS · General + Sector Obligations) at €199 excluding VAT, which adds sector rules and accessibility. The interface is in English and Slovak. LegisCheck has no consent banner of its own and no continuous monitoring; generators for privacy policies and terms are planned but not yet available.

No other service here checks as many EU website obligations in one free run, and each result points to its legal source; that is why it leads on our criteria.
