ConsentScope - GDPR Cookie Checker & Violation Detector

Tracking since Apr 16, 2026.

Changelog

• Jun 3, 2026
  description

  ConsentScope helps you understand what a website does before you click "Accept".
  It monitors cookies, browser storage, and third-party scripts, and then compares those
  events with the moment consent was detected. This makes it easy to spot potential GDPR
  cookie violations such as non-essential cookies being set before consent.
  
  ✨ What it does:
  - Cookie monitoring: detects cookies set via JavaScript and HTTP `Set‑Cookie` headers.
  - Storage monitoring: detects `localStorage`/`sessionStorage` keys written by the page.
  - Consent detection: recognizes many consent banners/CMPs and uses heuristics for custom banners (multi‑language).
  - Timing & evidence: tracks page load time, consent time, and event timestamps.
  - Violation flags: highlights non‑essential cookies detected before consent.
  - 3rd‑party scripts (Pro): detects third‑party scripts, tag managers (e.g., GTM) and vendor risk, especially those loaded before consent.
  - Privacy policy analysis (Pro): attempts to locate a privacy policy and compares declared disclosures vs observed cookies.
  - Compliance score (Pro): provides a simple 0–100 score with a breakdown of key risk factors.
  - Exports (Pro): export JSON, CSV, or a shareable PDF audit report.
  - [NEW] Cookie Policy Generator (Pro): generate a ready-to-use cookie policy in HTML and Markdown based on detected cookies.
  - History (Pro): save scans and revisit them later.
  
  🔥Free vs Pro 
  
  Free focuses on the current page and shows results locally.
  
  Pro unlocks additional features such as history, exports, policy analysis, compliance scoring, and third‑party script analysis. Pro is activated using a license key.

  storage : store scan results locally and support Pro activation state.
