Accept Cookies Automatically #793
-
|
Since I'm in Europe most websites first present an "accept cookies" popover that must be accepted before you can access the website. Just as an example here are two sites: https://www.rapidtables.com/tools/todays-date.html I saw the wiki post on running a java script before change detection: https://github.com/dgtlmoon/changedetection.io/wiki/Run-JavaScript-before-change-detection In particular this part:
However, if I look at my two example pages they do not contain an "id" for the "agree" and "continue with cookies" buttons. How can you get those screens in this case? |

Ah that's too bad. It makes Changedetection pretty hard to use over here in Europe since bascially EVERY site has to give you that cookies pop up which renders the entire site useless until you accept. :/ |

Hi there, I found that the option Request headers with copying the headers after logging in and including cookies ofc and adding them to changedetection.io might be helpful. But I Can't find any more details and/or wiki steps describes on how to do it. If this is a doable workaround, is there any place where we can find instructions or guidelines? Unfortunately, there is a lack of knowledge and I completely do not understand how to achieve it. Many thanks! |

Oh ok wow. This is pretty awesome!!! How well does it work in practice? Do you have an ETA when you’ll push this to stable? This looks great!!! |

It will goto stable when more people test it.. so for you it means, if you can help test it, then it will be released faster be a part of the solution :) |

Since im monitoring ~1000 sites mostly austrian based, I use the the "Execute JavaScript before change detection" feature to click on the cookie banner.

Thank you for sharing this line. Do I have to make any additional actions or changes before using it? In my case, it results in the error "Error running JS Actions - Page request - TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'click') at eval (eval at evaluate (:191:30), :1:46) at eval () at UtilityScript.evaluate (:191:30) at UtilityScript. (:1:44)" at least for ebay.co.uk website. |

Hi, sorry I forgot to add that you have to change the name of the element (=the accept buton) that should be clicked. document.querySelector('#gdpr-banner-accept').click() See also https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/met_document_queryselector.asp |

Since this seems to be a standard workaround. I'm wondering if we can provide the ability to specify the "Execute JavaScript" capability to also be on the Group/Tag level? I typically monitor different parts of a site and use Groups/Tags to define a common set of criteria, it seems like this should also fit neatly into that pattern, instead of having to define it every time. |

Doing the visual filter: 
Get an error the filter was not found: 
When going to visual filter I see now the page with the cookie banner covering the page:
