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 ☺️
