Why can't I just rely on cookie consent popups for privacy protection?

Legacy consent popups only show you what companies claim they're collecting, not what hidden scripts actually send. Many third-party scripts can quietly track users or exfiltrate sensitive data regardless of consent settings. This issue is amplified as solutions that build cookie banners often crawl the websites, and those marketing tools in question will not behave the same way they would in a user's browser as they would on a crawler. Cside monitors which data scripts actually access and where they're being sent in real-time, giving you proof of what's happening behind the scenes. We prevent cookie, local storage, or session storage access and injection from unauthorized sources. Ensuring your consent management actually reflects the reality of data collection on your site.
