New tool scans websites in a clean browser session, flagging non-essential cookies that fire without consent and verifying Google Consent Mode configuration
LONDON, WESTMINSTER, UNITED KINGDOM, March 5, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — ConsentScout today launched a web-based compliance scanner that detects cookie violations in real time. The tool opens each target page as a new user would – no cached consent, no stored preferences – and reports exactly which cookies fire before a visitor has interacted with any consent mechanism.
The problem is widespread. Consent banners are near-universal, but the underlying implementation frequently fails. Analytics and marketing trackers load on page render, regardless of the banner’s presence. Most site owners have no way to verify their setup independently – they trust their CMS plugin, tag manager, or developer, and discover the gap only when an ICO investigation or a GDPR complaint surfaces.
What It Does
– Cookie Detection: Identifies first- and third-party cookies across functional, analytics, and marketing categories. Flags anything that sets before consent is granted.
– Consent Signal Verification: Checks Google Consent Mode (GCM), UET tags, and TCF strings to confirm that tagging infrastructure respects user choices as intended.
– Audit-Ready Exports: Generates CSV reports, PDF summaries, and HAR network captures – evidence-grade documentation for regulatory audits or client reporting.
– Bulk Scanning: Agency and enterprise tiers support batch processing across hundreds of pages or client domains in a single run.
Availability
ConsentScout is available now at consentscout.com. A free tier provides three scans per day. Paid plans (Starter, Pro, and Agency) offer increased volume, scan history, priority support, and API access.
