That's nice and everything but what to do about the EU cookie banners? Does hosting outside of the EU help?

- gkamer8 2y agoYeah the EU cookie banners are annoying, I'm hoping to do some automation to click out of them before taking the screenshots
- cjr 2y agoThere are browser extensions you could run like consent-o-matic to try to click and hide the cookies from your screenshots: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/consent-o-matic/mdjildafknihdffpkfmmpnpoiajfjnjd https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/consent-o-matic/mdj... Otherwise using a combination of well-known class names, ‘accept’ strings, and heuristics such as z-index, position: fixed/sticky etc can also narrow down the number of likely elements that could be modals/banners. You could also ask a vision model whether a screenshot has a cookie banner, and ask for co-ordinates to remove it, although this could get expensive at scale!
- gkamer8 2y agoThanks, that's a great idea! I was originally going to go the vision model route because I'd also like people to be able to send instructions to sign in with some credentials (like when visiting the nytimes or something).
- artur_makly 2y agoyeah that's what we basically did here at https://VisualSitemaps.com https://VisualSitemaps.com, but it can also be quickly become over-the-top, and you may end up removing important content. That's why in the end we added a second option to just manually enter CSS classes.
- cess11 2y agoNo. Tell the services you're using to stop with the malicious compliance.
- busymom0 2y agoWould recommend using SeleniumBase's CDP mode to search for those substrings, click accept on those cookie banners and then take screenshot.
