Inventory cookies, consent banners, CMP vendor hints, Google Consent Mode signals, tracker categories, and privacy risk recommendations from supplied page snapshots.

This actor is fixture-first by default: it analyzes HTML, headers, cookie banner text, and cookie snapshots supplied in the input. It does not launch a browser, run Playwright, or fetch URLs unless fetchUrls is explicitly set to true.

What It Checks

• CMP vendor hints for OneTrust, Cookiebot, Didomi, TrustArc, Quantcast Choice, Osano, CookieYes, iubenda, Sourcepoint, and Termly.
• Google Consent Mode signals such as ad_storage, analytics_storage, ad_user_data, and ad_personalization.
• IAB TCF indicators including __tcfapi, __cmp, euconsent-v2, and IABTCF_* cookies.
• Cookie categories: necessary, analytics, marketing, preferences, functional, and unknown.
• Banner controls for accept, reject, preferences, and privacy policy links.
• Privacy risk signals such as tracking without a detected CMP, missing reject controls, long-lived marketing cookies, and consent granted by default.

Input Example

Set maxChargeUsd to a finite run budget. It defaults to $10; the actor stops before paid work or withholds uncharged reports when the next event would exceed the cap.

{
  "targets": [
    {
      "sourceId": "home-page-snapshot",
      "sourceUrl": "https://example.com",
      "html": "<script src=\"https://cdn.cookielaw.org/scripttemplates/otSDKStub.js\"></script><script>gtag('consent','default',{ad_storage:'denied',analytics_storage:'denied'});</script><div id=\"onetrust-banner-sdk\"><button>Accept all</button><button>Reject all</button><button>Preferences</button><a href=\"/privacy\">Privacy Policy</a></div>",
      "headers": {
        "set-cookie": [
          "OptanonConsent=1; Max-Age=31536000",
          "_ga=GA1; Max-Age=63072000",
          "_fbp=fb.1; Max-Age=7776000"
        ]
      }
    }
  ],
  "fetchUrls": false,
  "includeReport": true,
  "maxTargets": 1
}

Output

Each dataset item represents one scanned snapshot:

{
  "sourceId": "home-page-snapshot",
  "status": "warn",
  "severity": "low",
  "privacyHealthScore": 88,
  "cmpVendorNames": ["OneTrust"],
  "consentModeDetected": true,
  "cookieCategoryCounts": {
    "necessary": 1,
    "analytics": 1,
    "marketing": 1,
    "preferences": 0,
    "functional": 0,
    "unknown": 0
  },
  "riskSignalCodes": ["marketing-cookies-present"],
  "recommendations": ["Confirm marketing cookies are blocked until valid consent is collected."]
}

When includeReport is enabled, the actor also writes:

• COOKIE_CMP_RESULTS.json
• COOKIE_CMP_SUMMARY.json
• COOKIE_CMP_REPORT.md

Optional Live Fetch

Set fetchUrls to true and provide urls to fetch HTML and response headers with Node fetch. This path is capped by maxTargets, fetchTimeoutMs, and maxHtmlBytes. It still does not run a browser, execute scripts, accept banners, or inspect post-interaction cookies.

Use supplied snapshots when you need deterministic QA, before/after comparisons, or scans collected by your own browser/testing stack.

Limitations

• This is not legal advice and does not certify privacy-law compliance.
• Static snapshots cannot prove whether cookies are blocked before consent unless the supplied snapshot captures that state.
• Optional live fetch does not execute JavaScript, so it may miss CMPs injected only after client-side rendering.
• Browser rendering, banner interaction, and post-consent comparison are intentionally out of scope for this package.

Safe Use

Scan only pages you are authorized to test. Avoid collecting personal data in supplied snapshots. Redact session identifiers or user-specific cookie values before uploading input.
