Running your first cookie scan
May 18, 2026
A cookie scan tells ConsentBit what tracking is currently on your site, so it knows what to block.
- On your site row, click Scan site.
- ConsentBit will crawl your public pages (it does not need login access).
- After 30–90 seconds (longer for larger sites), you’ll see a results list.
- Each cookie or script is automatically tagged with:
- Provider: who sets it (Google, Meta, your domain, etc.)
- Purpose: what it does (analytics, advertising, etc.)
- Category: Necessary, Preferences, Analytics, or Marketing
- Description: A simple explanation
- Review the list. If you spot a cookie in the wrong category, click the category dropdown next to it and change it.
Tip: If new tracking is added to your site later (for example, you install a chat widget), re-run the scan or set up a scheduled scan under Settings → Scans. Weekly is a good default.
