- None recorded in this run
On desktop, it appeared in a median 60 ms, against 471 ms for the median of the 10 CMPs measured. On an emulated mid-tier phone, it appeared in a median 240 ms, against 2.71 s for the median of the 10 CMPs measured.
On desktop it delayed the main content by 16 ms (95% interval 8 ms to 40 ms). On an emulated mid-tier phone it delayed the main content by 408 ms (95% interval 396 ms to 420 ms). Delay is the extra time before the main content appears. We compare Largest Contentful Paint on the same page, with and without a consent manager.
It passed 4 of 4 checks on desktop and on an emulated mid-tier phone. A check fails if a tracker runs, the page sets a cookie or data leaves the page before the visitor chooses.
Per vendor docs, c15t supports IAB TCF, IAB GPP, Google Consent Mode v2 and Global Privacy Control, but not Google CMP certification. Feature support comes from c15t’s documentation. CookieBench did not test these features itself.
