Why a Cookie Scan?

A Cookie scan will give you an idea of which cookies (and other trackers) are on your website(s) and where they are placed and which are therefore placed on visitors to your website(s).

With a Cookie scan, your website is scanned for cookies and trackers and the results are sent to you by email.

You’ll know right away if there are cookies and trackers on your website for which you need to ask prior consent. The results include an explanation. We do this completely free of charge.

When you perform a cookie scan on your website, you can expect the following outcomes

• Compliance: You can ensure that your website is compliant with any legal requirements around the use of cookies, such as the European Union’s GDPR, California’s CCPA or other cookie laws.
• User Awareness: Your users will be made aware of the cookies being set on their device, which can help to build trust and improve the user experience.
• Improved User Control: By performing a cookie check, you have identified which cookies and trackers need “prior consent”. Using a Consent Management Platform gives your users control over the cookies being set on their device, which can improve their overall experience on your website.
• Debugging: By performing a cookie check, you can identify any issues related to cookies on your website, such as errors or broken functionality, and take the necessary steps to resolve them.
• Better Performance: By only setting necessary cookies, you can reduce the amount of data being stored on a user’s device, which can improve the performance of your website.

Will a cookie scan help my website be GDPR compliant?

Cookies are covered by the General Data Processing Regulation. Every website setting cookies and trackers must comply with GDPR and future ePrivacy regulations. Cookie consent must be sought for the placement of privacy-invasive cookies. Consider analytical, marketing cookies and other trackers. These cookies create profiles to enable targeted advertisements and track visitors’ browsing behavior.

30% of cookies change on a monthly basis. Automating your cookie scan and cookie consent can save you a lot of time while respecting privacy.

We believe every website can be compliant with the use of cookies. Have a question? Let us know!
