The first stage of cookie compliance is determining exactly which cookies your website is placing. We will independently audit your entire domain estate for cookies placed by your website or third parties and prepare a report which forms the basis of our Cookie Consulting service.

Over 90% of websites use cookies in some way and not all are placed by the site itself. Third parties such as analytics scripts, adverts and social media all use cookies to track users and it is these that can cause privacy issues.

Our cookie auditing will reveal not only cookies you know about but also those placed by adverts, widgets, plugins or even malware and allow a clear overview before implementing a cookie compliant solution.

Our audit prices start from only £250 for a site with up to 500 pages.

Our detailed independent report shows:
