GDPR compliance checker
Check your website GDPR readiness with consent records, cookie declarations, policy consistency reviews, tracker scans, scheduled monitoring, and audit evidence — all in one workflow.
Technical checks only, not legal advice.
Need a broader website GDPR compliance check? Use the online GDPR validator to review cookie consent, tracker behavior, policy links, and consent evidence in one flow.
Compliance readiness requires more than detecting scripts. GDPRChecker links scans to consent records, cookie inventory review, declaration publishing, and policy consistency checks so you have a repeatable workflow, not a snapshot.
Consent logs, reviewed inventory items, timestamped scan reports, scheduled scan history, and policy consistency findings help teams document what changed, when, and what was reviewed — the kind of evidence auditors and regulators expect.
GDPRChecker provides technical compliance assistance — automated checks, evidence collection, and monitoring. It does not issue legal certifications. Use the reports to prioritize fixes and validate implementation with your privacy or legal team.
The compliance checker goes through a structured readiness workflow: it scans for cookies and trackers, verifies consent banner behavior, checks pre-consent request timing, cross-references detected cookies with published policies, and reviews consent records for completeness. Each check produces a dated finding that feeds into the overall readiness picture. This is designed to mirror the kind of technical review a Data Protection Authority or auditor would expect.
Under GDPR Article 7(1), the controller must be able to demonstrate that consent was given. GDPRChecker captures consent events with timestamp, choice (accept/reject/customize), and the cookie categories selected. Records are stored per site and can be exported for audit. For managed sites, consent logs are immutable and searchable by date range, providing a clear chain of evidence.
A cookie declaration that doesn't match what's actually on your site is a common compliance gap. GDPRChecker compares your published cookie policy against detected cookies and flags discrepancies: cookies found on site but missing from policy, policy-listed cookies no longer in use, and category mismatches. The inventory workflow lets you review, re-categorize, and publish an updated declaration with a single action.
GDPR compliance is not a one-and-done exercise. New marketing tags, plugin updates, or GTM container changes can introduce new trackers silently. Managed sites can schedule weekly or daily scans. When a scan detects a new cookie, tracker, or policy change, the system sends an alert so the compliance contact can review and update the inventory before it becomes a finding.
Automated checks cover the technical surface — but they cannot assess whether your stated purposes for data processing are lawful, whether your legitimate interest assessments are adequate, whether your data processing agreements with vendors are complete, or whether your data subject request workflow meets regulatory timelines. Use the technical evidence from GDPRChecker to inform those legal discussions, not replace them.
| Compliance area | Automated check | Manual / legal review |
|---|---|---|
| Cookie consent banner | Detects presence, visibility, accept/reject controls, and consent logging | Reviews whether banner language meets transparency requirements and consent is freely given |
| Pre-consent tracking | Flags analytics/marketing requests before consent; checks Consent Mode v2 setup | Determines whether flagged requests fall under strict necessity exemption |
| Cookie declaration | Compares detected cookies vs published policy; flags discrepancies | Reviews category accuracy, purpose descriptions, and retention periods for each cookie |
| Consent records | Captures timestamps, choices, and categories per consent event; makes logs exportable | Assesses whether consent records meet Article 7(1) demonstration requirements for your jurisdiction |
| Policy consistency | Checks that privacy/cookie policy pages are linked and reachable | Reviews policy content for required GDPR disclosures (Article 13/14), DPA references, and data subject rights |
| Ongoing monitoring | Scheduled scans, change detection, and automated alerts | Reviews whether monitoring cadence meets regulatory expectations for your risk profile |
