Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

cookie-consent-ab-audit scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/process.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 159 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Overview

A/B testing consent banners is a common practice to optimize consent rates. However, when these experiments manipulate users into consenting through design asymmetry, deceptive patterns, or unequal ease of acceptance versus rejection, they violate GDPR Article 7 and ePrivacy Directive Article 5(3). The CNIL has been the most active enforcer, issuing a EUR 150 million fine to Google (January 2022) and a EUR 60 million fine to Meta (January 2022) specifically for consent banner design violations.

Equal Prominence Requirement

CNIL Deliberation No. 2020-091 (September 17, 2020) and EDPB Guidelines 05/2020 establish:

  1. Equal Visual Weight: The "Accept" and "Reject" options must have the same visual prominence — same size, same color treatment, same font, same position hierarchy.
  2. Equal Interaction Cost: Rejecting cookies must require the same number of clicks/steps as accepting.
  3. No Pre-Selection: No purposes or vendors may be pre-selected.
  4. No Cookie Walls: Access to content must not be conditioned on cookie acceptance.
  5. Neutral Language: Neither option should use encouraging or discouraging language asymmetrically.

Key Enforcement Actions

Authority Target Fine Date Key Finding
CNIL Google LLC EUR 150,000,000 January 6, 2022 google.fr: accepting cookies required 1 click; rejecting required multiple clicks through secondary menu
CNIL Meta Platforms Ireland EUR 60,000,000 January 6, 2022 facebook.com: "Accept Cookies" button prominently displayed; "Refuse" buried in secondary layer
CNIL Microsoft Ireland EUR 60,000,000 December 22, 2022 bing.com: "Accept" button displayed without equally visible "Refuse"
CNIL TikTok EUR 5,000,000 December 29, 2022 tiktok.com: rejecting cookies more complex than accepting; insufficient information
Italian Garante Clearview AI EUR 20,000,000 March 9, 2022 No valid consent mechanism for biometric data processing

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
