Uncover Hidden Cookies: Protect Your Privacy and Ensure Compliance

Illuminate your website’s data tracking practices with our powerful Cookie Scanner. Instantly scan any webpage or website to determine what 1st party and 3rd party cookies are active.

Cookie Scanner

Cookies might seem harmless, but they can reveal a surprising amount of your online activity. Our Cookie Scanner empowers you to take control, revealing the full scope of data collection happening on your website (or any other website) for informed privacy choices.

Websites often use a complex web of cookies and tracking technologies, many of which operate invisibly to the average user. Without a comprehensive understanding of these trackers, organizations face compliance risks and a potential loss of customer trust due to potential privacy violations.

Why is Cookie Scanning Important?

  • Privacy Awareness: Understand what personal data is being collected and stored by websites you visit.

  • Compliance with Regulations: Ensure compliance with privacy laws that mandate transparency about data practices.

  • Optimizing User Experience: Ensure essential website functions (logins, shopping carts) work smoothly.

  • Ad Management: Gain insights into advertising networks present on your website to manage ads effectively.
