The cookie bar that eats your mobile traffic
A legally required element that quietly destroys the first impression — and the owner never sees it, because they look at their own site on a desktop.
What disappears because of it
On a 390-pixel-wide phone screen you have roughly 650 pixels above the fold. If a cookie bar takes 300 of them, the first thing a visitor sees is the legal text and the top third of your hero image.
What they do not see: the logo, the menu button, the phone number, and the one sentence that would tell them whether they are in the right place. Their first impression of your business is a legal disclaimer.
On one Hungarian agency site we analysed, the bar occupied the top 330 pixels of the screen, completely covering the logo and the hamburger menu button — only the bottom edge of the button was visible.

How to check your own
Open a private window on your phone and load your own home page. Do not scroll. What you see is what every new visitor sees. If not much fits besides the cookie bar, you have found the cheapest fix on your site.
