Who is CookieScan?
CookieScan is an advanced cookie management platform designed to help website owners comply with PECR, the ePrivacy Directive, and data protection laws such as GDPR. It simplifies cookie compliance by managing user consent and ensuring the lawful processing of data collected by cookies, all through a seamless and user-friendly interface.
CookieScan provides a range of powerful features to enhance compliance and user experience. Its geo-blocking functionality allows website owners to tailor cookie banners based on the visitor’s location, ensuring region-specific compliance with regulations. The platform also supports geo-location detection, enabling targeted consent notices depending on the user’s country.
Unique to CookieScan is the ability to enforce data subject rights directly through the cookie banner, giving users the option to exercise their rights under GDPR or similar legislation, such as access, erasure, or rectification of their data. This feature not only enhances transparency but also builds trust with website visitors.
With CookieScan, website owners can confidently manage cookie consent while providing a clear, compliant, and efficient experience for their users.

How CookieScan Works
CookieScan is designed to make cookie compliance straightforward and efficient for website owners. By implementing our simple process, you can ensure your website adheres to PECR, the ePrivacy Directive, and GDPR requirements with minimal effort.
Once you sign up, CookieScan begins by performing a comprehensive automated scan of your website to identify and categorise all cookies in use. This scan ensures you have a complete and accurate inventory of cookies, including their type, purpose, and functionality.
To integrate CookieScan with your website, you can choose one of two simple methods:
1. Single Line of JavaScript: Add the CookieScan JavaScript code to your website’s header. This lightweight script enables the cookie banner to load seamlessly on your website, ensuring user consent is collected before any non-essential cookies are activated.

Once integrated, CookieScan displays a fully customisable cookie banner on your website. This banner provides users with clear information about the cookies in use and allows them to choose their level of consent, including options for acceptance, rejection, or granular preferences.
CookieScan also generates an accurate and up-to-date cookie notice for your website, ensuring all cookie-related information is transparent and compliant. Regular automated scans keep your compliance current by detecting any changes in your website’s cookies or tracking technologies.
