It appears you’re experiencing an issue where disabling performance cookies via the OneTrust tool on “stackoverflow.com” does not stop Google Analytics 4 (GA4) from making network calls. From what you’ve described and the screenshots you’ve shared, it does seem unexpected if GA4 network calls continue even after disabling the corresponding cookies. However, there are a few potential reasons why this could be happening. It’s possible that GA4 might not be correctly categorized under performance cookies within OneTrust’s settings. Alternatively, GA4 might be using other types of cookies or techniques like local storage or fingerprinting to keep tracking. Occasionally, GA4 might also send some last bits of data before fully respecting the new settings. If the issue persists, you might need to contact the website administrators to ensure the consent tool is working as intended.
