CookieSentry Companion

CookieSentry Companion helps website owners, developers, agencies, and privacy teams identify cookie, tracker, and consent-banner risks directly from the current browser tab. Open the extension on any website and run a clear GDPR-focused cookie check. CookieSentry combines local page inspection with a cloud scan to show what may load before a visitor provides consent. The result includes a simple passed or failed verdict, supporting evidence, and practical next steps — making it easier to investigate potential consent problems and share findings with clients, developers, or colleagues. Key features: - Check for cookies and trackers that may load before consent - Identify visible cookies available to page JavaScript - Detect third-party resource hosts and known tracking services - Recognize common consent-management platforms - Review visible consent actions, including Accept, Reject, and Settings - Receive a clear passed or failed cookie-check verdict - See when and which page was scanned - Understand the evidence through plain-language explanations - Copy a concise summary for a client, developer, or internal ticket - Send completed report links by email - Open a shareable CookieSentry evidence report - Print or save reports as PDF - Add websites to CookieSentry for ongoing monitoring How it works: 1. Visit the page you want to check. 2. Open CookieSentry Companion. 3. Start the cookie and tracker scan. 4. Review the verdict and supporting evidence. 5. Open, copy, email, or save the completed report. CookieSentry SaaS The extension connects to the CookieSentry web platform for cloud scanning, evidence reports, and ongoing website monitoring. While the Chrome extension is designed for quick checks during everyday browsing, CookieSentry SaaS helps you keep track of websites over time. It provides a central place to review scan evidence, share findings, create records for follow-up, and monitor sites for cookie and tracker risks. This combination is useful for: - Website owners checking their own consent setup - Developers testing websites before and after releases - Agencies reviewing client websites - Privacy teams gathering technical evidence - Teams investigating unexpected third-party scripts - Anyone who needs a quick, repeatable cookie compliance check Privacy and permissions CookieSentry Companion uses limited Chrome permissions and inspects only the active tab after you open the extension. The extension does not request permission to access all browser cookies. It does not inspect your complete browsing history, passwords, or form-field values. When you start a scan, the extension may process and send the following information to CookieSentry: - The current page URL and title - Cookie names visible to page JavaScript - Third-party resource hostnames - Browser storage key names - Visible consent-banner signals An email address is sent only when you choose to request a report by email. CookieSentry Companion is an assessment and monitoring tool. Its results highlight technical signals and potential consent risks but do not constitute legal advice or guarantee compliance with GDPR or other privacy laws. Final compliance depends on your website’s implementation, data processing practices, and applicable legal requirements.
