How it works
From the first scan to documented consent
Six links in one chain. Each one builds on the one before, so your banner, your policy and your records always describe the same website — the one you actually have.
Indexed does the setup. You decide on the cookies the scan finds.
Step by step
What happens, and when
1. A real browser scans your website
Our scanner opens your pages in a real browser and lets your scripts run, just as a visitor's browser would. It visits them as someone who has not answered the banner and as someone who has accepted, and records every cookie, who set it and on which page — third-party ones included. Scans run again on a schedule, so a new tool on your site does not go unnoticed.
2. Every cookie gets a category
Known cookies are recognised from a curated catalogue and from the tags that set them. The ones nobody recognises go on a list for you, so a person decides — never a guess that quietly becomes the answer.
3. Your cookie policy is written from the scan
The policy lists the cookies that are actually on your site, in the categories you approved. Every version is kept with a timestamp, so you can always show what it said, and when. It is hosted for you and can be linked or embedded.
4. Scripts wait for a yes
A small blocker runs first on your pages and holds back the tags it recognises — from our library of trackers and your own rules — until their category is granted. When consent is given, the tags load; when it is withdrawn, the cookies they set are cleared. Google Consent Mode signals follow the same choice, and the Global Privacy Control signal can be honoured.
5. Every choice is recorded
Each answer to the banner is stored with a timestamp and the banner version it was given on. That is the record a regulator asks for, ready the day someone asks.
6. Visitors stay in control
Your cookie policy shows each visitor their consent ID and choices, so they can change or withdraw them at any time — and withdrawing clears the cookies that consent allowed.
Setup
What we do, and what you do
We create your account, scan your site and prepare the categories and the banner. You verify that the domain is yours, decide on the cookies we could not place, and put one snippet at the top of your pages.
