Storefront Cookie & Script Scanner

Use the automated server-side scanner to discover external scripts and generate compliant cookie declarations.

The Storefront Scanner audits your storefront HTML responses, identifying external third-party requests and Set-Cookie headers to ensure your cookie declaration table stays up to date.

Running a Storefront Scan#

Navigate to Cookie Scanner

Inside the WS Cookie Consent Shopify admin, click on the Scanner tab.

Trigger Automated Scan

Click Scan Storefront Now. The crawler inspects your homepage, product pages, collection pages, and cart.

Assign Categories

Review newly discovered cookies and assign them to Necessary, Functional, Analytics, or Marketing.

Reviewing Discovered Cookies#

Once the audit completes, each cookie is matched against our centralized privacy dictionary to suggest categorizations and retention lifespans.

Exporting Compliance Proofs#

WS Cookie Consent stores pseudonymous consent audit records (UUID, country, timestamp, categories chosen) with zero raw PII. You can export timestamped CSV files anytime for legal defense audits.
