Privacy & Consent Scanner

Check cookie consent banners, GDPR/CCPA signals, and privacy policy presence.

Run it on Apify All tools

Who it is for

Anyone responsible for a cookie banner actually doing what the policy says it does.

What you would use it for

• Check whether a consent banner is present and what it does before consent is given.
• Find tracking scripts that load regardless of the banner.
• Confirm a privacy policy link exists and resolves.
• Sweep a portfolio of sites for the obvious GDPR and CCPA gaps.

What you get back

One JSON record per page checked. These are the actual fields returned by the most recent successful run — read from the live catalogue, not a documented ideal.

Questions

Is this a compliance certification?

No. It reports observable signals — whether a banner exists, which trackers fire before consent, whether a policy link resolves. Compliance is a legal determination about your specific processing and jurisdiction, and no scanner can make it for you. Use this to find the obvious gaps, not to sign anything off.
