Cookies set before consent

The longest-lived tracking cookie it set was _ga, from Google Analytics, lasting about 13 months.

The page also wrote 23 keys to local storage, which works like a cookie but isn't sent with requests.

Understanding this page

• How to see which cookies and trackers a website loads

  A hands-on walkthrough for checking what a site sets before you've clicked anything, using Chrome and Firefox's built-in tools, plus how CookieTosser automates the same check every month.

• What counts as valid cookie consent in the EU

  The rules that actually govern cookie banners — the ePrivacy Directive, the GDPR consent standard, the Planet49 ruling, the strictly-necessary exemption, and what "reject" has to offer compared with "accept.

• Consent management platforms explained

  What a CMP banner is actually doing behind the scenes, how the IAB's TCF standard and Google's Consent Mode v2 fit in, and why a banner being present is no guarantee that nothing loads before you answer it.
