Automated Cookie Scanner

A headless Chromium crawler discovers every cookie, tracker and third-party vendor on your site and keeps your policy in sync.

Know exactly what's running on your site — before a regulator tells you.

You can't get consent right for cookies you don't know exist. Cookie Panda runs a real headless-Chromium crawler that loads your site the way a visitor's browser does, executing JavaScript and following tags, so it captures the cookies and trackers that static source scanning always misses — including ones injected dynamically by your tag manager.

Each cookie and vendor is classified automatically: first-party versus third-party, the vendor behind it, its declared purpose, and its expiry. Cookie Panda matches what it finds against a library of 60+ built-in vendor signatures, so well-known trackers are named and categorised instantly rather than left as cryptic key/value pairs you have to research yourself.

Compliance documentation stays current without manual upkeep. The scanner generates a complete, human-readable cookie policy page straight from the live inventory, and scheduled re-scans catch new tags the moment your marketing team adds them — so your disclosures never drift out of sync with what your site actually does.

    Point it at your domain

    Add your site to a workspace; the headless-Chromium crawler renders your pages exactly as a real browser would.

    Every cookie and tracker is identified as first- or third-party with its vendor, purpose and expiry detected.

  3. 3

    Generate your policy

    A complete, formatted cookie policy page is produced automatically from the live inventory.

  4. 4

    Re-scan on a schedule

    Recurring crawls flag newly-added tags so your disclosures never fall behind your site.

Common questions

How is this different from a static source scan?

Static scans only read your HTML. Our crawler is a real headless-Chromium browser that runs your JavaScript and tag manager, so it catches dynamically-injected trackers that source scanning never sees.

How often does it re-scan?

You can schedule recurring scans. Each run diffs against the previous inventory and surfaces anything new so your cookie policy stays accurate.
