Web Scanners

Monitor what loads in a visitor's browser (every third-party tag, cookie, and request) and see what your consent banner covers.

Web Scanners answer one question: what loads in a visitor's browser that a regulator or plaintiff could see? The scanner crawls your site on a schedule and inventories every third-party tag, cookie, and network request, then shows which ones your consent banner already covers and which still need a decision.

Open Web Scanners in app

What it shows

  • Your site's footprint: every third-party script, cookie, and request discovered across the pages it crawls.
  • Consent coverage: which detected vendors your consent banner already governs, and which are firing uncovered.
  • Privacy-relevant detections: scripts that match known trackers, ad identifiers, and data-collection patterns.
  • A review queue: uncovered, high-reach items surfaced first so you can decide what to do about each.
  • Progress over time: how your third-party footprint, high-risk hosts, and consent coverage have changed across scans.
The Web Scanners dashboard summarising two scanners: a narrative reading that 8 of 30 third-party hosts are not covered by the CMP with 18 high-risk, KPI tiles for 73% covered, 6 of 18 high-risk uncovered and 2 new hosts, a per-scanner coverage bar, and a risk-by-reach matrix

The review queue is the part you work from day to day. Every uncovered host gets a row, highest-risk first, with the actions to resolve it in place:

A Hosts that need a decision queue listing the eight uncovered hosts highest-risk first, each showing its vendor, risk, hostname, which site it was found on and its category, with Add to CMP and Exception actions on every row

Scanning tells you what loaded. Blocking decides whether it runs at all: with the CMP in Enforce mode, an uncategorized third-party script is stopped in the visitor's browser before it executes, then reported at the next scan. See Real-time script blocking.

This is the inbound counterpart to the Data Sharing Report: the scanner shows what comes into the browser, while the Data Sharing Report shows what you send out to destinations.
