How CookieGDPR Works

CookieGDPR is a technical GDPR and cookie compliance audit tool designed to help website owners understand how cookies, tracking scripts and consent mechanisms behave in real-world conditions, not just on paper.

Step 1 – Enter your website URL

You start by entering your website address into our GDPR cookie scan tool. No server access, CMS login or source code is required. The scan is performed externally, exactly as a real visitor would experience your website.

Step 2 – Real browser-based analysis

CookieGDPR analyzes your website as it loads and runs in the browser, observing cookies, scripts, consent signals and technical behavior in line with European GDPR and ePrivacy requirements.

Step 3 – Cookie & tracking detection

We identify analytics cookies, marketing scripts, third-party embeds and other technologies that may process personal data, evaluating them from a technical GDPR and cookie compliance perspective.

Step 4 – Consent mechanism evaluation

The consent mechanism is evaluated to determine whether cookies are set before consent, whether user choices are respected and whether rejection is technically enforced.

Step 5 – Compliance scoring & findings

Based on observed behavior, CookieGDPR highlights potential GDPR and ePrivacy risks, technical inconsistencies and consent-related issues.

Step 6 – Actionable recommendations

The audit concludes with clear, actionable guidance focused on practical improvements rather than legal jargon.

Who is this for?

CookieGDPR is designed for website owners, developers, agencies, e-commerce platforms and SaaS products that need a technical, evidence-based GDPR and cookie compliance audit.

Why a technical GDPR audit matters

Regulators increasingly focus on what actually happens in the browser. A technical audit helps reduce compliance risk, identify hidden tracking behavior and demonstrate due diligence.
