In the digital age, protecting user privacy is no longer optional—it’s a necessity mandated by global regulations like GDPR and CCPA. As the demand for transparency grows, consent management tools for cookies and privacy policies have become an essential part of any website. But how can you ensure these tools function efficiently without constant manual review? This is where automated testing comes in, ensuring seamless compliance and a secure, hassle-free user experience.

We will demonstrate automated functional acceptance testing for consent management of the Privacy Policy and cookies using Webship-JS on the website unesco.org.

Additionally, we will conduct another automated functional acceptance test for consent management on the website bbc.com, ensuring compliance and seamless functionality.

With Webship-JS, you can test any consent management format available on a website, regardless of its design or implementation. This ensures complete flexibility and adaptability to different structures and compliance frameworks.
