[fix] google news - send CONSENT Cookie to not be redirected
In the EU there exists a "General Data Protection Regulation" [1] aka GDPR (BTW:
very user friendly!) which requires consent to tracking. To get the consent
from the user, google-news requests are redirected to confirm and get a CONSENT
Cookie from https://consent.google.de/s?continue=...
This patch adds a CONSENT Cookie to the google-news request to avoid
redirection.
The behavior of the CONTENTS cookies over all google engines seems similar but
the pattern is not yet fully clear to me, here are some random samples from my
analysis ..
Using common google search from different domains::
google.com: CONSENT=YES+cb.{{date}}-14-p0.de+FX+816
google.de: CONSENT=YES+cb.{{date}}-14-p0.de+FX+333
google.fr: CONSENT=YES+srp.gws-{{date}}-0-RC2.fr+FX+826
When searching about videos (google-videos)::
google.es: CONSENT=YES+srp.gws-{{date}}-0-RC2.es+FX+076
google.de: CONSENT=YES+srp.gws-{{date}}-0-RC2.de+FX+171
Google news has only one domain for all languages::
news.google.com: CONSENT=YES+cb.{{date}}-14-p0.de+FX+816
Using google-scholar search from different domains::
scholar.google.de: CONSENT=YES+cb.{{date}}-14-p0.de+FX+333
scholar.google.fr: does not use such a cookie / did not ask the user
scholar.google.es: does not use such a cookie / did not ask the user
Interim summary:
Pattern is unclear and I won't apply the CONSENT cookie to all google engines.
More experience is need before we generalize the CONSENT cookies over all
google engines.
