## Purpose

Canonical specification for cookie-consent-tracking-gate requirements synced from OpenSpec change deltas.

## Requirements

### Requirement: Consent banner captures and persists tracking consent
The system SHALL display a cookie consent banner and persist user consent decision in cookies before enabling analytics tracking.

#### Scenario: Consent capture and persistence
- **WHEN** a user interacts with the consent banner and accepts
- **THEN** consent state is stored in a cookie
- **AND** stored consent is honored on subsequent visits

#### Scenario: Tracking gated by consent
- **WHEN** consent has not been granted
- **THEN** analytics/tracking scripts and events do not execute
- **AND** tracking begins only after consent state indicates acceptance
