ConsentScope
So I recently ran a small experiment. I tested 20 websites (SaaS, e-commerce, agencies, blogs) to check something simple: Do they actually wait for user consent before loading analytics? 14 out of 20 loaded Google Analytics or other tracking scripts before the user clicked “Accept”. In most cases:the cookie banner was visible, no interaction had happened yet but GA/GTM requests were already firing. You don’t really notice this unless you’re watching the Network tab closely. So I built a small tool to monitor: cookies being set localStorage/sessionStorage usage tracking-related…

ConsentCheckFeb 2026 · consentcheck.online · ▲14Hi HN, I’ve spent the last few months debugging a pattern I kept seeing on client sites: Ads are running, tags are installed, dashboards look fine — but Google Ads conversions are missing, inconsistent, or silently degraded. In most cases, the problem wasn’t the conversion tag itself. It was consent timing: tracking scripts firing before consent cookies set before consent Consent Mode v2 present but misconfigured conversion events firing before consent updates These setups often “look” correct in GTM or DevTools, but behave differently for a real first-time visitor. So I built a small…

- ITIt took me 5() months to build a Plausible alternative2024 · ▲44
After months of using Google Analytics I realized only about 50% of people accepted my cookie-popup. I had months of incorrect data for my website. I started looking for alternatives and eventually found Plausible, which is great (and open-source). Problem is, I didn't feel like paying 9$ a month to see the amount of visitors on a website i didn't even earn anything on, it was just a hobby project. Eventually I started making my own web analytics. Which actually isn't that hard. It took me about a month of working on my spare time every now and then. Being GDPR compliant basically means to…

Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
