Free Cookie Consent Banner Checker
Enter any website URL and get a plain-English cookie-consent score — 12 automated checks for the banner, a cookie-policy page that loads, accept AND decline options, a preferences control, the policy link, cookie categories, third-party disclosure, consent withdrawal, forced-consent dark patterns, a privacy link, nav/footer placement, and placeholder copy that decide whether your consent banner is honest. Heuristics are stated as heuristics throughout.
Privacy: we fetch the URL you enter plus at most two same-site pages to run the checks, but we never store any of them. The only thing recorded is an anonymous "grader run" for our own stats. Public websites only.
What the checker checks
Can visitors give real consent?
A cookie banner or cookie-policy link on the homepage, accept AND decline options (not accept-only), a preferences control, and a policy link one click from the banner.
Does the policy say what runs?
A cookie-policy page that loads, the cookie types or categories listed, third-party cookies and trackers disclosed, and a consent-withdrawal path.
Is it free of dark patterns?
No forced consent or pre-ticked boxes, a privacy-policy link, the policy link in the nav or footer, and no placeholder copy.
