Cookies before consent: what should you test?

What you need to know

The ePrivacy framework focuses on storing or accessing information on a user’s device. For non-essential techniques, consent is often central.

Check not only which cookies exist later, but which scripts and storage techniques are already present in the initial page and how your CMP or tag manager blocks them. Static scanning shows presence; browser behaviour may need additional testing.
