> I should not be liable for this

If you can't ensure the tools you use are not fucking your customers over, you shouldn't be using those tools.

Sure if you did the due diligence, and they actually hid that they use cookies[0], both in their documentation and technically while you were developing, then enabled them in production, where you missed them, sure. But most don't hide they use cookies, not in documentation and not while developing.

[0] By cookies I mean anything that would require consent

Yes, using 3rd party tools that you don't fuly understand should not be a plausible deniability shield. Otherwise, everyone with intent would be hiding behind it.
