This is a sample testing suite, put together to showcase the use of the EU's website evidence collector. a tool designed to test for cookie compliance on websites - made by the EU data protection supervisor and used by GDPR auditors across the EU.
It does so by:
- Loading a website in a headless browser
- listens to all cookies, scripts and http requests made inside this browser
- logs everything
This will give you a basic report to understand what happens if a user simply visits a url, without clicking a consent button.
There is a slim layer of automation on top of WEC - the wec testrunner - which can either be used to run as a scheduled test runner and can be integrated into most CI/CD systems. Or you can simply run it manually to execute a number of test cases you can define in code.
So this is essentially a compliance as code setup, which require very little setup and is flexible enough to be used for most usecases where you want to monitor if your website has a compliant cookie setup.
index.js contains the code which executes the test runner, and the /tests folder contain the different
test configurations you might want to execute. In this case there is just one, with multiple URLs
Each test suite has a number of urls, and then a number of tests to run. For this setup, it tests for sites in a list of common marketing websites, and also checks for any 3rd party cookies.
Clone this repository and run the following commands:
npm install
npm start
This will generate a report for all 10 sites in output/
