ConsentVigil scans your website continuously and tells you exactly what it sets: every cookie, pixel, fingerprinting script, and third-party request, categorized and mapped to the vendors behind them. You get alerted the moment a new tracker appears, a monthly compliance report, and a cookie policy that stays accurate because it is generated from real scan data.
Get your free consent audit
Each scan renders your pages in a real browser, executes JavaScript, and records everything: first and third-party cookies, local storage, canvas fingerprinting attempts, and every outbound request to tracking domains. Findings are matched against a database of over ten thousand known trackers so you see vendor names and purposes, not just domains.
Websites change constantly. A marketing tool update, a new plugin, or an embedded video can add trackers overnight, and your cookie policy and consent banner silently fall out of date. Weekly scans catch drift within days, and instant alerts fire the moment a scan finds something new, before a regulator or a complaint does.
The monthly report lists every tracker found, its category and vendor, which pages set it, and whether it fires before consent. It flags the issues auditors look for: undeclared cookies, trackers missing from your policy, and third parties receiving data pre-consent. It exports as PDF for clients, leadership, or counsel.

A banner collects consent; ConsentVigil tells you what you need consent for. Most compliance failures come from sites not knowing their own trackers, so the banner and policy describe the wrong things. ConsentVigil pairs with any banner, or with our sister tools, and keeps the underlying inventory accurate as your site changes.
Drift is the gap between what your site actually sets and what your cookie policy declares. It grows every time someone adds a plugin, an embed, or a new marketing tool without updating the policy. Studies of real websites consistently find trackers the owner did not know about. Weekly scanning is the only reliable way to keep the gap closed.
Yes. You can record a login sequence once, and the scanner replays it securely to reach authenticated pages, dashboards, and checkout flows on every subsequent scan. Those are often where the most sensitive trackers hide, and exactly where one-time free scanners never look. Credentials are stored encrypted and used only for scanning.
The scanner monitors for the common fingerprinting signals: canvas reads, audio context probes, font enumeration, and excessive device property collection. Findings are flagged separately from ordinary cookies because fingerprinting triggers specific GDPR analysis and cannot be solved with a banner alone.
Two groups mainly: agencies and freelancers who monitor client sites and deliver monthly compliance reports as a service, and in-house marketers or DPOs who need to know when their own site changes. Multi-site dashboards and white-label reports are built for the first group.
Start with the free consent audit: a full tracker scan of your site with the findings mapped to vendors and categories. Ongoing monitoring plans are sized by number of sites after that. The audit carries no charge and no card.
