Frequently Asked Questions

What does the free cookie scanner detect?
The scanner detects all cookies set by a website, including first-party and third-party cookies. It automatically categorises them into necessary, functional, analytics, and marketing cookies using a database of over 1,500 known cookies and pattern-matching heuristics. Learn more about how cookie categories work.
How many pages can I scan for free?
The free scanner analyses up to 10 pages per website. It discovers pages automatically via your sitemap.xml and always includes your homepage. For unlimited page scanning and scheduled automatic scans, create a free Kukie.io account.
Is the cookie scan accurate?
The scanner uses a real headless browser (Chromium) that loads your pages the same way a real visitor would, including JavaScript execution. It detects cookies from both document.cookie and HTTP headers. Some cookies that only appear after user interaction (clicking buttons, logging in) may not be detected by automated scans. Learn more about what the scanner detects.
Do I need to install anything to scan my website?
No. The free cookie scanner works entirely from our servers - just enter your domain and we handle the rest. No code installation, no browser extensions, no account required.
How does cookie categorisation work?
Cookies are categorised using a multi-stage process: first by matching against a known cookie database with over 1,500 entries, then by pattern-matching common cookie name prefixes (e.g., _ga for Google Analytics, _fbp for Facebook), and finally by domain association. Categories follow the standard GDPR grouping: necessary, functional, analytics, and marketing.
Is the free scanner GDPR-compliant?
The scanner itself does not process personal data from your website visitors - it only reads publicly available cookie information. The scan results help you understand your cookie landscape, which is the first step towards GDPR compliance. For full compliance, you need a consent management platform like Kukie.io to collect and manage visitor consent.
What is the difference between the free scanner and a Kukie.io account?
The free scanner is a one-time audit tool limited to 10 pages and 3 scans per day. A Kukie.io account gives you: unlimited page scanning, automatic scheduled scans (weekly/monthly), a customisable cookie consent banner, consent logging and analytics, legal document generation, Google Consent Mode v2 integration, and multi-region compliance support. Compare plans.
How often should I scan my website for cookies?
Cookies on your website can change whenever you add new third-party services, update plugins, or modify tracking scripts. We recommend scanning at least monthly. With a Kukie.io account, you can set up automatic weekly or monthly scans to stay on top of changes.
