Consent Checker

Paste a public URL. Basic results show here, no account.

We inspect the initial page HTML for consent-related signals. We do not run JavaScript or test accept, reject or withdrawal behaviour. A scan cannot prove compliance.

Use a public page, for example example.com. No email is needed to see results.

Do not include private access links, passwords or personal data in the URL.

CMP referencesBanner text patternsTracker referencesPrivacy-policy linksHTTPS

CMP references

Looks for known consent management platform references in the initial HTML. Presence does not prove the platform works.

Banner text patterns

Looks for banner-related text and identifiers. It cannot establish whether a banner is visible or its choices work.

Tracker references

Flags references to known tracking tools. It does not measure network requests, stored cookies or when tracking runs.

Privacy-policy links

Looks for privacy-policy link patterns. It does not read the linked policy or assess notices under GDPR Articles 13 and 14.

HTTPS

Checks the submitted URL scheme. HTTPS alone does not establish security or compliance with GDPR Article 32.

Next: browser evidence

Test initial load, accept, reject and withdrawal in separate browser sessions. Keep the URL, time, region and consent state with each capture.

For checks this scan cannot perform, use the browser evidence checklist.

Cookie banner FAQ

Questions before you run a GDPR consent checker

What does a free cookie consent banner checker look for?

It inspects the initial page HTML for CMP references, banner text patterns, tracker references and privacy-policy links, plus the submitted URL scheme. JavaScript is not run. It cannot establish banner visibility, cookie storage, tracking execution or consent behaviour.

Can this tool prove my cookie banner is GDPR compliant?

No automated scan can prove legal compliance. The checker is a fast screening tool that highlights consent-banner, CMP, tracking, and privacy-notice gaps to review with your legal or privacy team.

Why check cookie consent banners for GDPR and CCPA?

EU/UK non-essential storage and access generally need prior consent under ePrivacy Directive Article 5(3) and UK PECR Regulation 6, subject to exceptions. Covered California businesses have sale/sharing opt-out duties under CCPA §1798.120; the regimes are not interchangeable. This scan does not determine applicability or test either flow.

Do I need a CMP if I use analytics or advertising tags?

A CMP can help manage choices, but detecting its name does not establish valid consent under GDPR Articles 4(11) and 7. Requirements depend on jurisdiction and processing. A browser test is needed to examine what happens before and after each choice.
