Statable GDPR Checker
A free browser extension that shows what a site loads before you answer the cookie banner.
Why I built it: consent banners are everywhere, but nobody can see what already fired while the banner was still on screen. Opening DevTools and reading the network tab works, if you know what to look for.
How it works: it defines a window that starts when the page starts loading and closes at your first click, key press or touch, or after 30 seconds. Whatever fired inside that window gets listed: analytics tags, ad pixels, reCAPTCHA, embeds, remote fonts, third-party cookies, each with the reason it counts. Below the verdict there is a plain-language section on what to do about each finding.
The detections come from a signature file kept as plain YAML in the extension source, so you can read which host or cookie pattern produced a finding and disagree with it.
It makes no network requests of its own and stores nothing. Close the tab and the measurement is gone. It checks one thing, consent timing, and says on screen that it is a technical measurement, not legal advice.
Chrome, Edge and Firefox. TypeScript.
