Cookie consent scanner

CertScore establishes a pre-consent baseline and, where an eligible consent control can be actioned safely, observes Accept and Reject in separate browser sessions. Reports show what begins after a confirmed acceptance and whether qualifying non-essential activity appears after a confirmed refusal. Unconfirmed choices remain limited coverage rather than a result.

Direct answer

A cookie consent scanner observes whether cookies, storage, and related tracking activity appear before or after a recorded consent state. CertScore.ai surfaces evidence for human and agentic review rather than declaring legal outcomes.

What CertScore.ai checks

CertScore.ai reviews cookie timing, third-party domains, storage writes, consent surface presence, available choices, and separate Accept and Reject observations. Accept is a score-neutral comparison baseline; Reject can support a finding only after the refusal-state transition is confirmed and qualifying activity follows.

When to run it

Run a cookie consent scan after CMP rule changes, tag-manager publishing, marketing campaign tags, consent template updates, site launches, and vendor onboarding.

What to review first

Start with cookies or requests observed before consent, vendors classified as advertising or analytics, and any activity that appears to continue after a reject-style choice.

Frequently asked questions

What is a cookie consent scanner?

A cookie consent scanner observes cookies, storage, requests, and consent-surface behavior so teams can review whether live website behavior appears aligned with intended consent rules.

Can a scanner prove cookie compliance?

No. A scanner can provide useful evidence, but compliance depends on legal context, purposes, exemptions, disclosures, consent records, and implementation details.

Does CertScore.ai test reject behavior?

On eligible sites, CertScore can observe Accept and Reject in separate sessions. Reject findings require a confirmed refusal-state transition and qualifying retained activity afterward. Limited coverage is not a pass. Findings remain automated review signals, not legal determinations.
