Automated Third-Party Cookie Discovery and Classification
A SaaS platform that crawls websites in realistic browser sessions, including interaction flows, to detect cookies and other tracking technologies. It would identify the responsible script or vendor, classify each cookie by purpose and third-party domain, track changes over time, and generate compliance-ready reports and consent-management recommendations.
The problem
Website owners and privacy teams struggle to identify every third-party cookie and tracking technology used on their sites. Browser developer tools and extensions provide incomplete results, while cookies may be set dynamically by scripts, embedded resources, redirects, or user interactions. Manually discovering, classifying, and maintaining an inventory of these cookies is recurring, technically difficult, and important for privacy compliance.
