Marketing Consent and PECR Compliance Checklist
About this document
A working checklist for direct marketing and cookies under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) and the UK GDPR, updated for the 2026 changes: the charitable purpose soft opt-in, the new cookie exceptions and PECR fines at UK GDPR levels. It includes a channel-by-channel rules table, 70+ checklist items, consent wording you can adapt, a marketing consent record and an action plan.
The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.
Our templates are professionally structured starting points for UK businesses, not legal advice. For anything complex, unusual or high-value, have your final version checked by a solicitor.
