When I opened a news site today and it asked me about consenting to cookies, it made me wonder what happens to my cookies before I deny or accept it? Are the cookies being monitored up until that point? What happens if I never click deny or accept?

Hi, so the answer depend on where you are in the world.
For example with GDPR (in a nutshell the european law on cookies) an european website SHOULD wait for you to click on “YES i accept”, before droping a cookie.
On a “less protected” country or on a website that does not respect the rules; they often drop the cookie on the instant of your arrival. So even before the “YES i accept”.
Hoping it was clear enough ☺️
There is probably no cookies. The website won’t automatically write cookies just because you visit it. It probably writes it’s first cookie when you click “accept” storing that you clicked accept.
If you never click anything, it will just wait for your input.
also what happens if you deny cookies?
