Frequently Asked Questions

What is a cookie scanner?

A cookie scanner is a tool that helps you identify active cookies on your website. It is important to know what types of cookies you are using because it will also help you determine what legal requirements you need to comply with.

What does a cookie scanner do?

A cookie scanner helps you check the cookies on your website. Usually, after the scan, you get a report with all the details related to the cookies active on your website: name, value, expiration date and more. A free cookie scanner is a good way to check cookies, because you’re website could be running scripts that you’re not aware of.

How do I know if a website collects cookies?

If you have a website, it’s highly likely that it collects cookies, especially if you use any kind of analytics, advertising, or session management tools. For example is your website using:

  • a CMS, like WordPress?
  • analytics tools, like Google Analytics?
  • social media widgets?

if yes, then you’re using cookies. To be extra sure, just run a web cookie scanner and make sure in a few seconds!

How can I scan a website for cookies for free?

There are plenty of tools that can help you with that. iubenda’s Cookie Scanner is a free cookie scanner tool and it also helps you create a comprehensive cookie policy with all the necessary details.

How does iubenda’s cookie scanner work?

Unlike other scanners – which simply check for active cookies on your website – iubenda’s Cookie Scanner is integrated with our Privacy and Cookie Policy Generator. This means that once the scan is over, our online cookie scanner will automatically insert the details of identified cookies into your legal documents to help you create a comprehensive and compliant cookie policy.

Moreover, the scanner will provide you with a comprehensive report on the additional legal requirements you may need to comply with.
