GDPR Cookie Scan lists every cookie, tracker, and storage drop your site issues while matching them to lawful bases.

Each finding highlights the category, lifespan, and responsible domain so privacy teams can explain the practice in minutes.

Data protection officers need evidence that cookies align with GDPR expectations before publishing cookie policies or signing DPIAs.

This scan keeps your privacy notices honest and uncovers surprises such as marketing cookies that fire before consent.

We drive a browser through every detectable path, logging cookie headers, script evaluations, and consent banner interactions for every domain.

The scanner also tracks consent signals, tag manager behavior, and third-party handshakes so you can verify every cookie with factual proof.

How we differ

We pair technical scan results with contextual comparisons so compliance leaders can see both the findings and the policy impact.

Frequently asked questions

What is a GDPR cookie scan?

A GDPR cookie scan inspects every cookie and tracker a website loads, classifies them by lawful basis, and flags anything fired before consent — the evidence GDPR Article 7 requires you to be able to produce on demand.

Is the GDPR cookie scanner free?

Yes — CookieInspector runs a free GDPR cookie scan on any public URL. The scan, the categorisation, and the downloadable report are free with no signup.

Does the scan cover ePrivacy and CCPA too?

Yes. The scan captures the same evidence (cookies, third-party drops, pre-consent activity) that ePrivacy Article 5(3) and CCPA opt-out frameworks require, so a single scan covers all three regimes.
