Pixel Patrol: a GDPR watchdog whose main job is staying quiet

Описание и применение

Pixel Patrol автоматически проверяет сайты на наличие новых трекеров, генерирует обновления политики конфиденциальности и открывает задачи в GitHub, обеспечивая актуальность GDPR‑политики.

Задача

Cookie policies become outdated when new third‑party trackers are added without notice, leading to undisclosed personal data processing under GDPR.

Результат

Pixel Patrol runs unattended on multiple sites, automatically detecting and reporting new trackers, generating policy updates, and filing tickets, thereby keeping GDPR compliance current.

Рабочий процесс

• Schedule hourly Cloud Run job to crawl sites with Playwright
• Record third‑party hosts and cookies before and after consent banner
• Compare results to approved baseline by registrable domain
• Classify new domains/cookies against recent history
• Use Gemini 3.5 Flash agents to judge drift vs noise
• Generate redline policy change and RoPA row
• Open GitHub issue with details
• Email site owner

Доказательства

Once an hour, Pixel Patrol crawls every site it is responsible for with a real browser (Playwright, in a Cloud Run Job).

Источник

When a tracker appears that nobody decided to add, it identifies the vendor, writes the cookie policy change in Czech as a redline, writes the Records of Processing Activities row the owner is now obliged to file, opens a GitHub issue with both, and emails the owner.
