Everything it does — today
CookieForever is in beta. This page lists what works now, and nothing that is still on the drawing board.
Scanning
Find every cookie, and who set it
-
Pages are opened in a real browser with your scripts running, so cookies set by tags and third parties are found too.
-
Pages are visited as someone who has not answered the banner and as someone who has accepted, so you see what each of them gets.
-
Each cookie is recorded with the page and the script or response that set it — the answer to "where does this come from?".
-
Sites are scanned again on a schedule, so a tool added last week shows up without anyone remembering to ask.
Classification
The right category, decided once
-
Known cookies are recognised from a catalogue we maintain, and from the tags that set them.
-
Cookies nobody recognises go on a list for you to place. A person decides; a guess never becomes the answer on its own.
-
Your classification of a cookie beats every other for your sites.
Cookie policy
A policy that matches the site
-
The policy lists the cookies actually found, in the categories you approved.
-
Every version is kept, with a review step before it is published, so you can show what it said and when.
-
Link to it or embed it. It is available in English, Danish, German, Norwegian and Swedish.
Enforcement
Scripts wait for a yes
-
It holds back the tags it recognises — from our library of trackers and your own rules — until their category is granted.
-
When consent is withdrawn, the cookies those tags set are cleared.
-
Google Consent Mode signals follow the visitor's choice, and Global Privacy Control can be honoured.
Documentation
Proof, when someone asks
-
Each answer is stored with a timestamp and the banner version it was given on.
-
Visitors can see, change and withdraw their consent from your cookie policy page.
-
If the snippet disappears from a site, you are told — before a visitor finds out.
