Cookie Scanner

Classify cookies — and browser storage keys — by vendor and purpose against a built-in database of 60+ well-known trackers: analytics, advertising, session replay, consent, and strictly-necessary. Use it as an input to a privacy or consent-banner audit, or just to see what is riding along in your own browser.

100% client-side — runs entirely in your browser, nothing is sent anywhere · works offline

Reads the cookies and storage this page’s own origin can see — document.cookie plus the keys of localStorage and sessionStorage — and classifies each against the database. Nothing is transmitted; the classification happens locally.

An honest limit. A page can only ever read its own origin’s cookies, and never the HttpOnly ones (those are hidden from JavaScript by design). So on webtracking.org this list is short — that is the browser’s same-origin rule working, not a bug. To audit the cookies a different site sets, open that site and either paste its document.cookie into the next tab, or run a full audit with ad.rip.

You can name the cookies. Can you prove where they send data?

This tool classifies what a browser exposes. It can’t watch the network calls each tag fires, the third parties they hand data to, or whether any of it respects consent. That full behavioural audit is what ad.rip does.

Everything runs in this browser; no account, no server, no request of any kind. Related: GPC, Do-Not-Track & consent · all free tools
