Noxtica Radar

What Radar is

Radar is a research project by Noxtica. It is not a product or a service. It publishes what an automated browser observed on popular consumer platforms and leaves the interpretation to the reader.

What Radar measures

An automated browser visits popular consumer platforms in entertainment, gaming and finance. Each platform is visited in four scenarios, and each scenario runs in its own fresh browser:

1. Before any choice

   The page loads and the browser makes no consent choice.

2. Reject all

   The browser chooses Reject all in the consent banner.

3. Accept all

   The browser chooses Accept all in the consent banner.

4. Global Privacy Control

   The browser sends the Global Privacy Control signal and takes no consent action.

Scans run in Chromium and in Firefox, and runs are repeated.

How results are published

Radar publishes results together with their evidence.

• A scan is published after it has been validated. A scan that fails validation is not published.
• Third-party identifiers collected during a scan are replaced by keyed placeholders.
• Evidence is published with checksums.

How the crawler behaves

Radar’s crawler identifies itself with the NoxticaRadar user agent and respects robots.txt.
