Privacy audit: cookies, consent and third-party trackers
KrakenShield opens your home page in a real browser and compares three journeys: before any choice, after refusing and after accepting cookies. You see what is stored, what is contacted and what leaves the European Union.

What your website really does, choice by choice
Technical observations to guide your GDPR and ePrivacy work. This is not a legal certification.
Before any choice
Cookies and storage set on arrival, before the visitor has answered the banner: the most common complaint.
After refusal
What is still stored or contacted when the visitor refuses. Refusing must be as effective as accepting.
After acceptance
What is added once consent is given, to check that every tracker matches an announced purpose.
Cookies and storage
First and third-party cookies, lifetime, local and session storage of the browser.
Trackers and third-party domains
Analytics, advertising, social networks, embedded fonts and videos: every contacted domain, with its owner.
Transfers outside the EU
Recipients located outside the European Union, to know where a transfer framework is needed.
Three steps
- 1
Enter the address
The audit covers the public home page of the website, with no ownership check.
- 2
Three automatic visits
An isolated browser visits the page three times and answers the consent banner differently each time.

PricingWhat the audit does not do
- It only analyses the home page, not pages behind a login.
- It does not replace a lawyer’s or DPO’s opinion: it brings verifiable technical facts.
What people ask us
Does the audit make me GDPR compliant?
No, no tool can. It shows what the website really does, which lets you fix technical gaps and document your approach.
How does the tool answer the cookie banner?
It recognises the main consent management platforms and clicks “Reject”, then “Accept”, in separate visits. If the banner is not recognised, the report says so.
Can I audit a competitor’s or a supplier’s website?
Yes, the audit covers a public page, as a visitor would see it. Use the results with discernment.
