Do you have eyes and use the internet? Then you've felt the pain. The endless, soul-crushing, mind-numbing tyranny of the cookie consent banner! A "solution" so elegant, so user-friendly, it could only have been designed by a committee of bureaucrats with a deep-seated hatred for the internet.

We've had enough. The cookie accept must end.

The Solution

acceptception.js is our answer. It's a weapon of malicious compliance, designed to give the regulators a taste of their own medicine. This script will unleash an endless barrage of pop-ups, impossible-to-click buttons, and absurdly long terms of service on the very people who brought this plague upon us. It's about sending a message.

How It Works

The script is simple. It detects if a user is visiting from an IP address associated with a European regulatory body and, if so, unleashes the chaos. For everyone else, it does nothing.

Join the Resistance

1. Add acceptception.js to your website.
2. Include this script tag:

   <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/redpepperdev/acceptception@main/acceptception.js"></script>

3. Watch the fun begin.

Testing

To verify that acceptception.js is working on your site without affecting real users, you can simulate a blacklisted IP using the URL query parameter ?acceptception_test=true. This triggers the script's behavior (modals and event listeners) as if the visitor's IP were blacklisted.

Steps to Test

• Enable Test Mode: Load your site with the query parameter, e.g., https://your-site.com?acceptception_test=true.
• Verify Initial Modal: The initial cookie consent modal should appear immediately upon page load.
• Test Interactions: Interact with the page (e.g., scroll, click, or type) to trigger additional modals, confirming that event listeners are active.
• Disable Test Mode: Remove the query parameter (e.g., https://your-site.com) and reload the page to ensure no modals appear for non-blacklisted IPs.
• Check Console Logs: Open Developer Tools (F12) and check the Console tab for debug logs like [AcceptAccept Debug]: Test mode enabled via query parameter (?acceptception_test=true). or [AcceptAccept Debug]: IP <your-ip> is not blacklisted.

Example

• With Test Mode: https://example.com?acceptception_test=true → Modals appear.
• Without Test Mode: https://example.com → No modals.

Play with the Demo

• Visit the live demo: https://redpepperdev.github.io/acceptception-demo/?acceptception_test=true
• Interact with the page (e.g., scroll, click) to trigger additional modals.

Notes

• Ensure your browser and any server/CDN caches are cleared to avoid loading an outdated script. You can add a cache-busting query string to the script tag, e.g., <script src=".../acceptception.js?v=1"></script>.
• If modals don’t appear as expected, check the console for errors like [AcceptAccept Error]: Failed to fetch IP.
• The script requires internet access to fetch the visitor’s IP via api.ipify.org or api.seeip.org.
