Web Scanner

Monitor third-party scripts on your website with weekly automated scans to maintain privacy compliance.

Web Scanner

Our Web Scanner allows you to monitor third-party scripts present on your website with weekly automated scans. This tool is especially useful for identifying scripts that may affect your site's privacy posture or compliance with privacy regulations.

How It Works

When you add a URL to the Web Scanner, it:

  • Performs an initial scan of the homepage and a few additional linked pages to get started.
  • Scans pages from multiple sources every Monday morning:
    • Links discovered during crawling
    • URLs found in any discovered sitemaps
  • Detects third-party scripts on each page it visits.
  • Collects cookies and localStorage identifiers set by third-party scripts and services on your website.
  • Crawls within domain scope: It follows a hierarchical domain rule:
    • If you configure example.com, it will crawl example.com, app.example.com, blog.example.com, etc.
    • If you configure app.example.com, it will only crawl app.example.com and its subdomains, NOT example.com
    • It will not follow links to completely different domains outside your organization's control.

What to Expect

  • Scans run weekly, beginning early Monday morning.
  • Pages are discovered through crawling links found on each page.
  • Only publicly accessible pages on your domain will be scanned.
  • Scan data is retained for 90 days. If you need access to older data, contact our team.

Limitations & Recommendations

  • While our scanner makes a best effort to detect all third-party scripts, we recommend you verify results with your IT team for full visibility.
  • The scanner is intended for general monitoring. It should not be relied on as a full security audit or compliance certification.
  • Make sure that the pages you want scanned are easily discoverable from your homepage.
  • Need to scan more pages? You can configure the maximum number of pages to crawl in your monitor settings.
