Did anything change? afterNO compares what you asked for with what your browser can actually observe afterwards, and shows it in plain words when you open its popup. WHAT IT SHOWS - Your choice, read from the site's consent signal (the IAB TCF standard used by most news and ad-funded sites) or, when there is none, from the button you clicked. - A short checklist: for example, "3 third-party sites can still recognise you from this page", with their names. - A cautious conclusion: "your rejection seems to be respected" or "seems to be only partly respected". It never says that a site is breaking the law. - The cookies, grouped by kind, with the company behind them and how long they last. HOW SURE IS IT Every sentence says where its information comes from: what the browser observed, what is technically possible (a cookie a tracker could use to recognise you), or what a public database declares (the Open Cookie Database). The information may be incomplete or wrong: treat it as a hint, not a verdict. WHAT IT CANNOT SEE Recognition without cookies (fingerprinting), other browser storage, data exchanged between companies' servers, and what a company actually does with a cookie. DESIGNED FOR BROWSING IN THE EU It reads the European consent standard (IAB TCF) and cookie banners in eight EU languages (Italian, English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish). The interface is in Italian and English. On sites that show no banner, for example outside the EU, it has less to say. PRIVACY Everything happens in your browser. No server, no analytics, no account, no network requests of its own. What it keeps is deleted when you close the browser. It does not block anything and does not click banners for you.
