> Unfortunately many sites don't care about your consent either way. Which sites? Could you name some examples, please?

  I'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

    A 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 ago
      Yes. 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.
