How to know what cookies are present on your website?

Cookies are small, often encrypted files that are located in browser directories. There are different cookie types. They can be separated by party – cookies can either be first or third-party, depending on how they have been created and from which server cookies are being dropped on the user’s browser.

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), every business, collecting users' personal data, must provide a cookie declaration report. Businesses should inform users about what cookies are used to collect their personal data, and for what purposes.

If you want to know what cookies are present on your website, use CookieScript Cookie Scanner, which is free to use and tells you about the types of cookies the website uses. Just enter your domain name and we will scan your website, analyze it, and automatically describe and categorize detected cookies.
