Verify Cookie Compliance with Evidence-Led Reporting

Helping businesses verify cookie compliance
New Client Offer: Reduced Setup Fee
For new clients, we offer a reduced setup fee for initial onboarding into ConsentTrace.
An Independent Assurance Layer
Because every site behaves differently (CMP setup, tag manager rules, third-party scripts, journey structure, and release cadence), our service includes building and customising the ConsentTrace framework to fit each client’s website and operating model. We produce evidence-led reports that organisations can use for governance, audits, and remediation.
A Complete Consent Verification Approach
Journey-Based Compliance Testing
We run controlled journeys (e.g. homepage → product → checkout) across consent states to verify which cookies and tracking technologies actually activate.
Sentinel Monitoring Layer
Our lightweight monitoring layer captures cookie changes, runtime tracking behaviour, and evidence snapshots linked to each consent state.
Evidence-Led Reporting
We generate clear, structured outputs showing cookie behaviour, compliance risks, and remediation recommendations.
