Abstract
Analyzing and mitigating privacy issues on a computing device using cookie generation flows. The method includes initiating a headless web browser, monitoring a request made of a website accessed by the headless web browser, monitoring scripts created on the website, instrumenting a function used to create a cookie on the computing device, tracing an initial generation of a call used to create the cookie on the computing device, obtaining a cookie generation flow related to the creation of the cookie, and initiating a security action based on obtaining the cookie generation flow.
