hi, i'm kinda out of ideas -maybe you know some selfhostable solution.

I want to monitor some of my pages for gdpr compliance and have reports on that.

So far i tried selenium container with k6, i tried selenium locally with some Python automation and even gave phantomJS with webXray a try. In any case sth. is missing...like selenium wont grab the thirdparty cookies, webxray code has outdated Python and so on.

You guys have any suggestion on how i could selfhost my own automated toolset to check entire webpages for all cookies and thirdpartyscripts? Ppl make changes which might have impact on the gdpr compliance and i dont want to check manually. How would you do it selfhosted?

You could try Puppeteer, but I don't know if you can check third party cookies.

Also I can recommend using Apache Airflow for automation. It is like a fancy crontab with a webui and email notifications, and lots of other stuff.

thanks. was thinking about airflow or n8n for automation but i still cant find a way to check the thirdpartycookies. someone wrote firefoxwebdriver could do it but you'd need to extract from the profile an stuff...nothing really worked.
