Christmas is coming, the donation drive is back.
You have to put a penny in the Fou-undation's hat.
If you haven't got a penny then a ha'penny will do,
...?

I'm doing a cookie test while logged-out in a fresh temporary browser profile.

Initial load of main page sets:

  • .wikipedia.org
    • WMF-Last-Access-Global (content = (the date as a string), expiry = 1 month / 31 days, accessible to script = no)
    • GeoIP (domain = .wikipedia.org, path = /, secure same-site-only, content = AU:NSW:Sydney:-33.87:151.20:v4, expiry = session)
      • The loc is imprecise enough and Sydney has a large enough population that I don't mind disclosing that.
  • wiki.riteme.site
    • WMF-Last-Access (same settings as WMF-Last-Access-Global)
    • enwikiel-sessionId (30 days)
    • enwikimwuser-sessionId (session)
    • enwikiwmE-sessionTickLastTickTime (30 days)
    • enwikiwmE-sessionTickTickCount (30 days)

All cookies are same-site-only, with path = /

After I scroll down or navigate away to another page, I don't see an change in cookie state.

After I click Close on the second, red, banner, I get a 1-week cokie

  • .wikipedia.org
    • centralnotice_hide_fundraising (7 days)
  • wiki.riteme.site
    • centralnotice_hide_fundraising (7 days, Content = %7B%22v%22%3A1%2C%22created%22%3A1639777294%2C%22reason%22%3A%22close%22%7D = {"v":1,"created":1639777294,"reason":"close"} )
    • enwikiwmE-sessionTickLastTickTime (30 days)
    • enwikiwmE-sessionTickTickCount (30 days)



Christmas is coming, the donation drive is back.
You have to put a penny in the Fou-undation's hat.
If you haven't got a penny then donate another day,
But we're asking you humb-e-ly, "please don't scroll away".

Christmas is coming, the donation drive is back.
You have to put a penny in the Fou-undation's hat.
If you haven't got a penny then a ha'penny will do,
And if you click "Close", we'll set cookie for you!

Aha, my suspicion was correct. The count for "Hi. This is the 3rd time we’ve interrupted your reading recently,..." is kept in LocalStorage:

val: {seenCount: 3, skippedThisCycle: 0, nextCycleStart: 1642371585845, seenThisCycle: 3}

[edit]

I wanted to do this last year, wen I was pissed-off about the wording of the banners, but didn't go through because it was a big job.

I'm surprised, I expected the proportion for a December archive to be higher. (14:13 Sat 18, AEST)
