Unfortunately many sites don't care about your consent either way. The cookie is saved before you get to click anything so blocking the banner blocks only the annoyance unless you go further than just blocking the banner.
- kleiba 2y ago> Unfortunately many sites don't care about your consent either way. Which sites? Could you name some examples, please?
- cuu508 2y agoI'm tracking a few Latvian websites here: https://sīkdatnes.lv https://xn--skdatnes-9ib.lv The page is generated by a script which visits a list of sites using chromium&selenium, and records what cookies get set on first visit. The page is in Latvian, but each red cell represents a cookie that was set too early, before obtaining consent. From the sites I've checked, news portals as a category are the worst offenders. The script itself is here: https://github.com/cuu508/tasting-party https://github.com/cuu508/tasting-party
- kleiba 2y agoA noble effort, good sir. Are you taking any actions in the cases where you detect cookies being set by a website without consent?
- cuu508 2y agoYes. In short, I start with a friendly email. If no response, I follow up with a formal, signed complaint. Then if no action, I report to our country's DPA. In quite a few cases, the friendly email alone does the trick. Sometimes the premature cookies are indeed a bug, and get fixed quickly.
