Consent Lens

For agencies, developers and consultants who need a fast first pass on cookie-consent compliance. Open a site, click Consent Lens, get a structured report: is there a consent banner, which platform is it, is there a genuine reject option at the first layer, are non-essential toggles pre-ticked, are tracking cookies present before any consent is recorded, is there a way to change your mind later, and does the site expose the IAB TCF API. WHAT IT DOES - Recognises more than twenty of the consent platforms in common use from their page signatures, plus a conservative generic detector for custom and in-house banners - Checks reflect published ICO and CMA positions, including reject-parity at the first layer, updated for the current 2026 PECR framework introduced by the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 - Every report opens with a plain-English executive summary, then lists findings ordered by severity (fail first) with a practical, non-legal suggested next step for each one, and a structured table of matched tracking cookies by name, vendor and category - Exports a clean, client-ready HTML report (printable to PDF) with methodology and honest limitations included - Keeps your last 20 scan summaries locally; clear them any time - Runs only when you click. No background activity, no host permissions, no network requests WHAT IT IS NOT - Automated heuristics, clearly labelled as indicative. Not legal advice, and not a substitute for a human review.
