How it works

Detect violations in four simple steps

No technical setup needed.

01

Install the Extension

Add ConsentScope from the Chrome Web Store or Firefox Add-ons in one click. No registration required for the free version.

02

Browse Any Website

ConsentScope runs silently in the background, monitoring cookies, localStorage, sessionStorage, and third-party scripts as you browse.

03

Get Instant Analysis

See exactly which cookies were set before you gave consent. Violations are flagged automatically with a compliance score.

04

Export & Fix Issues

Generate PDF audit reports, export JSON/CSV data, or use privacy policy analysis to compare declarations against reality.

Bridges the gap between complex background data-harvesting and simple visual alerts. Fundamentally changed how I view cookie banners.

Canceling removes subscription-based Extension Pro access at the end of the paid period; a separately purchased Lifetime license remains permanent.
