Symptom
In Cookie consent Manager, using the down arrow while the screen reader is active will navigate in reading order one element at a time. When the table headers, "Provider", "Description", and "Enabled", are navigated through they are announced only as static text. However, when table items are navigated through, such as "LinkedIn", the table headers are not announced so screen reader users may not realize that "LinkedIn" is supposed to be a "Provider".
Environment
