Three Critical Areas We Check
Our scanner doesn't just list cookies. It audits your website across the three key areas that privacy regulators care about most.
Cookies & Trackers
We detect every first-party and third-party cookie on your site, along with tracking pixels, fingerprinting scripts, and analytics tags. The ePrivacy Directive requires explicit consent before setting non-essential cookies — we show you which ones need it.
Consent Collection
We check whether your website is collecting consent for processing personal data as required by GDPR and similar regulations. If visitors' data is being processed without a valid legal basis, your scan report will flag it immediately.
Third-Party Data Transfers
When your website loads scripts from third-party vendors, visitor data can be transmitted to servers around the world. We identify every external service and flag transfers to countries without adequate data protection — helping you assess cross-border compliance.
Understand Your Compliance Risk
Every scan report includes a risk assessment based on the cookies, trackers, and third-party services found on your website — so you know exactly how urgently you need to act.
Your website sets only first-party cookies without explicit consent. No third-party cookies or external data requests were detected. You're in a good position — but adding a consent banner ensures full compliance.
Your website sets an above-average number of cookies or third-party requests without collecting explicit consent. This puts you at risk of non-compliance with GDPR, CCPA, and other privacy laws. A consent management solution is recommended.
Your website sets a large number of third-party cookies and makes numerous external data requests without asking visitors for consent. This is a significant compliance violation that could result in regulatory fines and legal action. Immediate action is needed.
Your Privacy Audit in Three Steps

Enter Any URL
Paste your website address into the scanner above. No account, no email, no installation — your privacy audit starts immediately.
We Audit Your Site
Our scanner loads your pages in a real browser environment, detecting every cookie, storage item, third-party request, and tracking script — just like a privacy regulator would.
Get Your Risk Report
Within seconds, you receive a detailed compliance report showing every vendor found, your risk level, and exactly what needs to change to meet GDPR, CCPA, and global privacy laws.
Why Run a Privacy Compliance Scan?
Most websites load dozens of cookies and third-party scripts — often without the site owner knowing. Under GDPR, ePrivacy, CCPA, and similar laws, every one of these needs to be disclosed and, in many cases, consented to before it runs.
A privacy compliance scan is the essential first step. It reveals exactly what's running on your site, identifies compliance gaps, and gives you a clear action plan. Without it, you're flying blind — and regulators are paying attention.
The Regulatory Reality
GDPR fines can reach 4% of global annual revenue. CCPA penalties are up to $7,500 per intentional violation. Regulators in the EU, UK, and US are actively auditing websites for cookie and tracking compliance.
Knowledge Is Compliance
You can't fix what you can't see. Our scan gives you a complete inventory of every cookie, tracker, and vendor — so you can configure consent properly and demonstrate accountability to regulators.
What Makes Our Scanner
Different
Built for privacy professionals and website owners who need more than a basic cookie list.
Deep Cookie Analysis
Goes beyond surface-level detection. We identify every first-party and third-party cookie — including their name, domain, expiry, category, and whether they require consent under privacy laws.
Storage Item Detection
Most scanners miss local storage and session storage entirely. Ours doesn't. We detect every client-side storage mechanism used by your site and the third-party scripts running on it.
Third-Party Service Mapping
See exactly which external services load on your pages — from analytics platforms to advertising networks. We map every outbound request to its vendor so you know who's accessing your visitors' data.
Compliance Risk Scoring
Each scan includes a clear risk assessment — low, medium, or high — based on the number of cookies and trackers found without consent. Know at a glance how urgently you need to act.
Shareable Audit Reports
Every scan generates a unique, permanent URL you can share with your legal team, clients, or colleagues. No login required to view — perfect for audits and compliance documentation.
No Account Required
Run unlimited scans without signing up, entering an email, or installing anything. Results appear in seconds. When you're ready for automated monitoring, upgrade to a CookieChimp account.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a privacy compliance scan check?
Our scanner audits your website across three key areas: cookies and trackers (first-party and third-party), consent collection practices, and third-party data transfers. Each scan produces a detailed report with a compliance risk score — low, medium, or high — based on what we find.
Is this scan really free? What's the catch?
The scan is completely free — no account, no email, no credit card. We built it so website owners can quickly understand their privacy posture. When you're ready for automated monitoring, consent banners, and a full compliance platform, you can sign up for CookieChimp.
How accurate is the scan?
Our scanner loads your website in a real browser environment, just like your visitors experience it. This means we detect dynamically loaded scripts, tracking pixels, and cookies that static scanners miss. While no automated tool can replace a full legal audit, our scan gives you the most comprehensive technical picture available.
What does 'High Risk' mean in the scan report?
A high-risk result means your website sets a significant number of third-party cookies and makes external data requests without collecting explicit consent from visitors. Under laws like GDPR and CCPA, this can lead to regulatory fines, legal action, and loss of visitor trust. Immediate action is recommended.
Can I scan a website I don't own?
Yes. The scanner only analyses publicly accessible pages — the same information any visitor's browser would see. This is useful for auditing competitor compliance, evaluating vendor privacy practices, or reviewing a client's website before a consulting engagement.
How is this different from browser developer tools?
Browser DevTools show cookies on a single page during your session. Our scanner systematically crawls your site, identifies the vendors behind each tracker, categorises items by type and consent requirement, calculates a compliance risk score, and presents everything in a clean, shareable report.
What should I do if my website is flagged as non-compliant?
Start by reviewing the scan report to understand which cookies and trackers need consent. Then set up a cookie consent banner with CookieChimp — it takes about 10 minutes. You can also generate a free cookie policy based on your scan results to ensure visitors are fully informed.
Does the scan slow down my website?
No. The scan runs entirely from our infrastructure. We visit your site like a normal browser would — your visitors won't notice anything, and there's zero impact on your website's performance or uptime.
How often should I run a compliance scan?
We recommend scanning at least monthly, or whenever you add new plugins, marketing tags, or third-party integrations. Cookies and trackers can appear without warning. With a CookieChimp account, you can automate recurring scans so you're always up to date.
What regulations does the scan cover?
Our scan reports are relevant for all major privacy regulations including GDPR (EU), UK GDPR, CCPA/CPRA (California), LGPD (Brazil), PIPEDA (Canada), POPIA (South Africa), PIPL (China), APPI (Japan), and more. The cookies and trackers we detect are regulated under all these laws.
