How ProtoConsent answers consent banners without touching the DOM

A declarative approach to CMP auto-response: cookie injection, not click simulation The banner problem Consent management platforms (CMPs) are used by millions of websites to show consent banners. When you visit a site, the CMP checks for a cookie that records your consent. If it doesn't find one, it shows the banner. Most tools that deal with banners take one of two approaches: the...

A .well-known file for website privacy declarations

How websites can declare their data practices in a machine-readable format The idea Most websites have a privacy policy. Most people don't read them. What if a website could declare its data practices in a machine-readable format that a browser extension could read, display, and compare against the user's preferences? That's what .well-known/protoconsent.json does. It follows the sa...

Purpose-based consent: a missing layer in the browser

Why organizing privacy choices around purposes, not vendors, changes everything The problem with consent today There is no browser-level place where a user can say "I allow analytics but not ads on this site" and have it enforced consistently. Privacy choices today are scattered across per-site dialogs, each with different language, different categories, and different defaults. The r...

HCP Terraform's free tier is gone - what AWS teams should actually do next

When the HashiCorp BSL licence change landed in August 2023, we thought "HashiCorp won't do anything too aggressive - they need the community too much." I was wrong. Fast forward to today: IBM owns HashiCorp for $6.4 billion, the HCP Terraform free tier sunsets on March 31 2026, the Resources Under Management (RUM) pricing model has replaced the predictable per-seat model, and the cost estimation...

Writing Testable Code: Common Anti-Patterns and How to Fix Them

When code is hard to test, it is usually a design problem, not a testing problem. Code becomes difficult to test for the same reasons it becomes difficult to maintain. This article looks at eight common anti-patterns that make code harder to test and how to improve them. There are other anti-patterns, but in my experience writing and reviewing code, these are the most common. Please note that the...
