Compliance Scanner
Impressum, privacy policy, cookie consent. One HTTP probe, one risk flag.
Point this actor at any website URL and it returns a structured compliance snapshot: is there an Impressum, is there a privacy policy, is there a cookie-consent banner, which consent vendor is running, and a risk flag tuned for DACH GDPR / Abmahnung exposure.
Pure Go HTTP with a real Chrome 124 TLS fingerprint. No browser, no JavaScript rendering. Fast enough to scan a lead list of thousands in minutes.
Features
- Impressum detection. Anchor-text scan on the homepage plus targeted probes of
/impressum,/legal-notice,/imprint,/mentions-legales,/note-legali,/aviso-legal,/juridische-informatie. - Privacy policy detection. Same shape: anchor-text scan plus path probes for
/datenschutz,/privacy,/privacy-policy,/politique-confidentialite, and equivalents. - Cookie consent detection. Identifies Cookiebot, Usercentrics, OneTrust, Iubenda, TrustArc, Consentmanager, Complianz, Borlabs, Klaro, Termly, and Quantcast. Falls back to a generic banner marker when the vendor cannot be identified.
- Language detection. Reads
<html lang>first, falls back to a German stopword count for sites without a language attribute. Emits a two-letter code. - Risk flag. HIGH when a German-language site is missing an Impressum (Abmahnung exposure). MEDIUM on softer gaps. LOW when all three markers are present. UNKNOWN when the homepage cannot be fetched.
- Tracking detection. Flags the presence of Google Analytics, GTM, Meta Pixel, Hotjar, LinkedIn Insight, TikTok Pixel, Matomo, and others so you can spot "tracking without consent" cases.
- Fast. 5 URLs in parallel by default. Runs at 256 MB RAM with no browser overhead.
DACH use case: Abmahnung avoidance
German-language sites without a valid Impressum are directly actionable under Section 5 TMG and Section 55 RStV. Lawyers issue Abmahnung letters for a few hundred euros a pop, and the penalty stack grows fast on repeat offenders. Same story for missing privacy policies and tracking cookies set before consent.
This scanner is the fastest way to build a prioritized list of local businesses that need help. Feed it a Google Maps export or a lead scrape, filter for risk_flag = "HIGH", and you have a warm outreach list for a legal-tech agency, GDPR consulting practice, or marketing shop selling Impressum-Generator plugins.

Risk flag semantics
| flag | Meaning |
|---|---|
HIGH | Missing Impressum on a German-language site. Directly actionable under Abmahnung practice. |
MEDIUM | Any other single compliance gap (missing privacy policy, tracking without consent, missing Impressum on non-DE site). |
LOW | Impressum, privacy policy, and cookie consent all present. |
UNKNOWN | Homepage could not be fetched. |
Risk reasons are stable machine-readable strings you can filter on:
missing_impressum_de_sitemissing_impressummissing_privacy_policytracking_without_consentprobe_failed
Pricing
- $0.001 per run start
- $0.003 per URL scanned
Failed probes are billed too. They still consumed a run slot and returned a UNKNOWN row so you can retry the URL later.
1000 URLs = $3.00.
