| The gap is worse where it matters most. Of the **349 papers that state what their crawler did with the consent banner** — accept, reject, a CMP-specific choice, or explicitly no interaction — only **68 (19.5%) state an EU/EEA vantage, and 210 give no location at all.** Consent behaviour is the single most geo-dependent thing on the web, and the majority of papers interacting with it do not report the jurisdiction they observed it from. | The gap is worse where it matters most. Of the **55 papers whose audited full-text record states what their crawler did with the consent banner** — accept, reject, a CMP-specific choice, or explicitly no interaction — **37 (67.3%) state an EU/EEA vantage, and 11 state no location at all.** Consent behaviour is the single most geo-dependent thing on the web, and the jurisdiction is still missing for a substantial minority of those audited paper claims. |
| Both figures come from the same per-paper record, so the 349 are a subset of the 1,120 crawling papers rather than a separately sampled group: the consent action and the vantage point were extracted in one pass from the same full text, and a paper counts here only if it stated its consent action explicitly. | Both figures use the same per-paper record, but the consent denominator is the audited one, not the raw schema count: the 2026-09-05 audit read all 349 non-sentinel ''crawlConfig.consentAction'' labels and rejected 279 of the 313 ''no-interaction'' defaults. The resulting 55 are a subset of the 1,120 crawling papers, and a paper counts here only if the audit found a consent action claim in its full text. |
