Cookie Scanner

Cookie scanner enables the platform to remove cookies when cookie categories are blocked and automatically generate a cookie declaration for your website. When you create a domain in the CookieHub Dashboard, the cookie scanner automatically crawls your website and collects information on the cookies used, including details like expiration, hostname, and path. Each cookie is then automatically assigned to the correct category based on our Cookie Database. Any cookies that do not exist in our database are assigned to the Uncategorized category.

The cookie scanner performs a monthly crawl of your website to check for any changes to the cookies used and automatically publishes those changes to your cookie declaration. This ensures that your cookie declaration is always up-to-date and in compliance with data privacy regulations.

The Cookie scanner will automatically generate a report after every scan. It helps to validate that cookies are set up correctly and are not being set before the user gives their consent. Once a scan is complete, the report is automatically sent to all linked users, providing details on any necessary actions and the current status of the cookie configuration.

The Cookie Database is another critical part of the cookie scanner, as it maintains a database of cookies detected, categorizes them, and provides details on the purpose of each cookie. You can easily change category assignments and descriptions about each cookie in the CookieHub Dashboard by clicking the Cookies tab for each domain.
