- Worth noticing
- It tests rejection behind cookie-banner settings, then compares the result with an all-accepted clean-browser run.
Field notes
The workflow separates three browser states: an untouched first visit, a rejection path that includes the settings panel, and an all-accepted comparison run. The homepage says it records what is stored on the device, applies fifteen rules with legal references, and adds marked screenshots and a prepared Datatilsynet tip. Recent entries include both commercial and public domains, including pureservice.com, vg.no, and datatilsynet.no.
