Findings

  • The banner offers a choice that the site does not honour
  • A third party is contacted before the visitor has made a choice
  • Cookies and requests that came with consent stay after consent is withdrawn

What this relies on

The banner states the intended behaviour; a tag was added outside the consent setup.

How to verify by hand

The tag manager's consent settings for the tag that fired.
