CookieInspector - 2026 Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

CookieInspector is a cloud-based cookie and consent compliance scanner that audits any publicly reachable website for first- and third-party cookies, local storage entries, third-party scripts, tracking pixels, and remote domains. Scans run in an isolated headless Chromium browser on the vendor's infrastructure in approximately 30 seconds, with no plugin, browser extension, code snippet, or site access required. Reports are structured around GDPR, ePrivacy, CCPA, LGPD, and Google Consent Mode v2 requirements, and are shareable via URL or downloadable as PDF for legal teams, outside counsel, and regulators.

CookieInspector operates as an independent audit and monitoring layer on top of any existing consent management platform (CMP), capturing activity that fires before and after a visitor interacts with a consent banner. This pre-consent vs. post-consent split surfaces tracking violations that CMPs may never observe, including tags injected via Google Tag Manager or added by marketing or third-party teams without CMP configuration. The Google Consent Mode v2 checker verifies all four required signals (ad_storage, analytics_storage, ad_user_data, ad_personalization) for correct defaults and post-consent updates. Severity-coded findings link each compliance issue to the affected resource, and an overall risk score with plain-language summary is included in the free Basic Report.

Designed for developers, compliance teams, legal teams, marketing teams, DevOps teams, and digital agencies, CookieInspector covers use cases from one-off audits to continuous monitoring. The Compliance Monitor runs scheduled daily or weekly scans and alerts teams when new cookies, trackers, or consent banner behavior changes are detected. Agency Mode provides a multi-domain dashboard with white-label reporting, bulk scans, recurring alerts, and verification badges across up to 25 monitored sites. Scan locations are available in US East, US West, and Germany (beta) to support geo-targeted banner testing. Pro and Agency plans include AI Insights, which layers an AI-generated executive summary, plain-language risk explanation, prioritized action plan, and a changelog of changes since the last scan on top of all scan analyzers.
