Frequently asked questions

Network requests and cookies created during the first seconds of a fresh visit to your home page, compared against a list of 50+ advertising, analytics, chat, session-replay and visitor-identification tools. We also check whether a consent banner appears.

From a real Chrome browser in the United States, behaving like a first-time visitor who hasn't clicked anything.

Yes. It's automated and checks only the home page from one location. Some tools load later or only on other pages, and server-side tracking isn't visible to any browser scan. Use it as a first check, not a final verdict.

The scan only loads a public page the same way any visitor's browser would. Please scan sites you own or manage, or sites you have a legitimate reason to check.

We review every tracker on your site, install or configure a consent banner for your platform, make ad pixels, chat and session-replay tools wait until the visitor accepts, configure Google Consent Mode, and send you a before/after re-scan report. Details are in our Service Agreement.

WordPress / WooCommerce, Shopify, Wix, Squarespace and Webflow. Ask us about others.

Your pixels still work for visitors who accept. Google Consent Mode helps Google tools model conversions for visitors who don't. Most businesses keep the marketing data they actually use.

Sites change: a new Shopify app, a WordPress plugin update or a change in Google Tag Manager can add a pixel that fires before consent again. That's why the $149 fix includes 6 months of weekly scans and up to 2 re-fixes at no cost. After that, you can keep weekly monitoring for $19/month.

A small badge for your site's footer showing the date of your last clean weekly scan. It only shows as verified while your 6-month guarantee or monitoring is active and the latest scan is clean.

No. This is a technical scan and a technical service. It is not legal advice and not a guarantee against claims or lawsuits. If you received a demand letter, talk to a licensed attorney.

Partly. SB 690 removes private lawsuits for one theory ("pen register" claims over website tracking) starting January 1, 2027. Wiretapping claims under CIPA § 631 — the ones usually aimed at chat widgets, session replay and ad pixels — are still allowed, and other states have similar laws. Read more.

Not necessarily. Many sites show a banner (or have one installed but hidden for U.S. visitors) while pixels fire anyway in the background. What matters is what loads before the visitor says yes — that's what the scan checks.

No. The free scan runs live and we don't store its result. If you send us a request, we keep what you send so we can reply. See our Privacy Policy.

No. No analytics, no pixels and no cookies. You can scan us yourself.
