Cookie consent audit

Your cookie banner may not block anything at all

See whether your trackers and pixels fire before anyone clicks Accept, whether your banner actually gates them, and get the fix written for you.

A banner that blocks nothing is worse than none. Mimetic checks what actually fires before opt-in and writes the fix for you.

Trackers fire before anyone clicks Accept

Your analytics, ad pixels, and session recorder all start the moment the page loads, before the consent banner is answered. The banner looks compliant but blocks nothing, which is the exact gap regulators and plaintiffs go after.

What's costing you

Trackers fire before consentPixels, analytics, and session tools load on page open, before anyone clicks Accept, so tracking happens without permission on every visit.

Your banner is cosmeticMany consent banners only save a preference and never actually block the scripts. It looks compliant and stops nothing.

Global Privacy Control is ignoredBrowsers can send a legal opt-out signal automatically. Most sites never read it, which is now an enforcement target in California.

Session replay captures pre-consent activityReplay tools often record what visitors do and type before consent, including on forms, which raises both privacy and wiretapping exposure.

Questions

Do trackers fire before consent on my site?

The scan loads your site with a clean session and records exactly what fires before any click, then what changes after you accept. You get a plain list of what runs without permission.

Is my cookie banner actually GDPR and CCPA compliant?

We check the part most people never verify: whether the banner actually blocks the trackers until consent, whether it honors Global Privacy Control, and whether session tools record before opt-in. You get the gaps and the fix.

What is Global Privacy Control and do I need to honor it?

It is an automatic browser opt-out signal that California treats as a valid request to not sell or share data. Most sites ignore it. The scan checks whether yours reads and respects it.

Is this really free?

Yes. The scan is free, no install and no credit card. Enter your site and we show you what fires before consent, with the highest-impact fixes written for you.
