Clym Pulse

Audit your Consent Management Platform in seconds. Clym Pulse is a free Chrome extension that gives website owners, developers, QA teams, and privacy professionals a live, structured view of how their CMP is actually behaving on the page: which scripts loaded, which services were blocked or fired, and which consent signals are being broadcast to ad tech, analytics, and global frameworks. Just implemented a new CMP, switched vendors, or updated your tag configuration? Click the Pulse icon and find out, in real time, whether your setup is doing what you think it is. Stay Ahead of Compliance Requirements. ──────────────────────────────────── WHY PULSE ──────────────────────────────────── CMP implementations break quietly. A script loads in the wrong position, a tag fires before consent, a Consent Mode signal stays at "denied" when it should flip, an IAB TCF string never transmits. By the time you notice, the data is already gone and the compliance gap is already open. Pulse surfaces these issues immediately, in plain language, without DevTools acrobatics. It works with Clym, and it works with any other CMP on the market. ──────────────────────────────────── WHAT PULSE CHECKS ──────────────────────────────────── CMP widget health See whether the Clym widget is implemented, where the script is loading, whether it loads synchronously, which script version is running, and whether the initial notification is shown in native mode. Critical setup issues (wrong load position, missing widget, version mismatch) are flagged with clear red and green indicators. Auto-blocking and consent posture Inspect the service auto-blocking mode (implicit vs explicit), the default consent status (opt-in vs opt-out), the visitor decision, and the detected visitor location. Confirm the right jurisdictional rules are being applied. Processing categories At a glance, see how many services fall into each processing category (Advertising, Analytics, Entertainment, Essential, Functional) and which embedded tags (for example, Google Consent Mode Advertising) are tied to each category. Live service detection Pulse lists every third-party service it detects on the page, including Google Analytics, Facebook, Hotjar, Smartlook, 360dialog, and many more. Each service is labeled Active or Blocked in real time, with its detected scripts expandable to show the actual code that loaded. Consent state changes in real time Click Accept, Reject, or change preferences in your cookie banner. Pulse updates instantly, moving services from Blocked to Active (or the reverse), so you can watch consent enforcement happen live. This is the fastest way to prove your banner is actually wired up correctly. ──────────────────────────────────── GLOBAL FRAMEWORK SUPPORT ──────────────────────────────────── Pulse natively inspects the consent frameworks that matter most for modern web compliance and ad tech measurement. IAB TCF (Transparency and Consent Framework) - TCF stub detection - TCF iframe detection - __tcfapi function presence - TCF API status and TCData status - GDPR applicability flag - Live TCF string IAB GPP (Global Privacy Platform) - GPP stub detection - GPP iframe detection - __gpp function presence - GPP API status and GPP data status - Live GPP string Google Consent Mode v2 - Detection of Consent Mode v2 - Default signal timing - Default signal values - Live values for ad_storage, ad_personalization, ad_user_data, and analytics_storage as they change Microsoft Consent Mode v2 - Detection of Microsoft Consent Mode v2 - MCM default signals - State change monitoring If any of these are missing, misconfigured, or transmitting the wrong values, Pulse will tell you immediately. ──────────────────────────────────── WHO PULSE IS FOR ──────────────────────────────────── Website owners and merchants Just rolled out a new banner or switched CMP vendors? Confirm in under a minute that essentials are blocked before consent, that advertising tags wait for acceptance, and that your Consent Mode signals reflect real user choices. Developers and QA engineers Validate consent gating during builds and releases. Reproduce issues with a structured view that shows exactly which scripts loaded and which were blocked. Compare environments. Sign off on releases with evidence in hand. Compliance and privacy professionals Run fast implementation reviews on your own sites or on vendor properties. Document third-party data flows, processing categories, and consent framework support. Produce evidence for audits, DPIAs, and vendor assessments. Agencies, MSPs, and consultants Audit client sites in seconds before kickoff. Demonstrate value mid-engagement by showing exactly what was broken and what is now fixed. No screen recording or DevTools spelunking required. ──────────────────────────────────── TYPICAL USE CASES ──────────────────────────────────── - Post-launch validation of a new CMP rollout - Pre-release QA: confirm tags only fire after consent - Migration checks when switching consent vendors - Verifying Consent Mode v2 is sending the right defaults and updates - Confirming IAB TCF and GPP strings are present and well-formed - Vendor and partner due diligence on third-party scripts and trackers - Reproducing tracking complaints from users or regulators - Training and education: showing non-technical stakeholders what a banner is actually doing under the hood ──────────────────────────────────── HOW IT WORKS ──────────────────────────────────── 1.
