Stratagia Cookie Checker

This is designed to do a single visit to a website URL of your choice, simulating the process of a new user visiting the site. Any cookies that the site sets by default will be reported.

Please be aware: this tool has a number of limitations, and can only give you a rough answer to the question, “does my site conform to the new cookie rules?”. There are a few main problems that this tool cannot overcome:

  1. dynamic code, such as Javascript, or Flash objects, are capable of setting cookies in ways this tool cannot detect;
  2. many websites tailor their response depending on which browser you’re using, or which page you’re visiting;
  3. the new cookie rules contain an ambiguous concept of an “essential cookie” which this tool cannot interpret for you.

So, please, take the result of this tool only as a starting point: it is not an absolute answer either way. If you feel that you would need any help at all ensuring that your web properties conform to the new rules, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us!
