What is a cookie scanner?

An online cookie scanner searches your website’s pages and automatically generates a list of cookies it finds. Some of the best cookie scanners, like Termly’s, also automatically categorize the cookies for you.

Is the cookie scanner free?

Yes, Termly’s cookie scanner is free to use. Termly’s basic plan lets you scan your site, generate a cookie report, and create a cookie notice banner for free. For additional features, including customizable banner styles, multi-language support, subdomain scanning, consent log exports, and more, you can upgrade to the Pro+ plan.

How does Termly’s cookie scanner work?

Termly’s cookie scanner works by crawling each page of your domain to find all cookies that are used on your website. When Termly’s cookie scanner finds a cookie, it will automatically categorize it as Essential, Performance and Functionality, Analytics and Customization, Advertising, Social Networking, or Unclassified. When the scanner is done, your comprehensive cookie report will be emailed to you. Your report will also be available in your Termly dashboard.

Schedule Automatic Cookie Scans

You can set up scheduled scans so that our cookie checker will frequently revisit your website on a regular basis and check for any new cookies that may have been set. This will ensure that all of your policies, reports, banners, and preferences always stay up to date.

Auto Block Cookies

Cookie blocking is essential for cookie compliance under laws like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). You need to block cookies until your users give their consent. With Auto Blocker, it’s easy to block cookies such as tracking cookies and more. Auto Blocker detects third-party cookies and scripts and checks a user’s consent settings before allowing cookies and other third-party scripts to run.

Customizable Cookie Notice Banner

Match your website style by customizing your consent banner’s colors, font, display style, and position. Pick from a built-in theme or create your own. We’ll generate a custom code snippet that you can copy and paste on your website.

Cookie Policy Included

You will be able to add your new cookie policy to your website using one of three embed options:

We will also add a link to your cookie policy in your customizable user consent banner, which we automatically generate.

User Preference Center and Consent Logs

Embed a preference center to allow your users to change their cookie preferences at any time. In addition, user consent logs will be stored in accordance with the GDPR — you can download your consent log report directly from your Termly dashboard.

DSARs and “Do Not Sell or Share” links

Full compliance means more than just a cookie notice and policy. You also need to give your site visitors ways to request information about their personal data, submit data deletion requests, and more. Termly offers an embeddable Data Subject Access Request (DSAR) form and a “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link that you can easily add to your website.
