Frequently asked questions
If you don't find your answer, email hello@cookieguard.net.
How long does a scan take?
Scans complete in under 30 seconds for most websites. Instant estimated results appear in <2s while the full scan runs.
Does CookieGuard replace my current consent manager?
Yes. The CookieGuard banner is a drop-in replacement for Cookiebot, CookieYes, Complianz, or OneTrust. Paste one <script> tag in your <head> and you're done. Or keep your existing banner and use CookieGuard just for scanning.
Will it break my analytics?
No. On free plans, we only scan. On paid plans the consent mode integration blocks analytics until the user accepts — which is exactly what GDPR requires. Google Consent Mode v2 is fully supported.
Do you support CCPA, LGPD, UK-GDPR?
Yes on Growth and Agency plans. Rules are region-aware and flag violations specific to each jurisdiction.
Is my scan data private?
Scans store the URL, score, and violation list on our EU server for up to 90 days. We never store the full HTML of your site. Delete any scan from your dashboard.
How does billing work?
All plans via PayPal. Monthly or annual (20% off). Cancel anytime from your dashboard. 30-day money-back guarantee. No long contracts, no setup fees.
Can I white-label for my agency clients?
Agency plan ($79/mo) includes white-label PDF reports, client workspaces (each with custom logo), and a sharable report URL under your own domain.
What are the limits?
Starter: 1 domain, manual scan. Pro: 3 domains, weekly auto-scan. Growth: 10 domains, daily. Agency: 50 domains, realtime. Extra domains are $10 per +5.
Do you have an API?
Growth plan includes limited API access (scan endpoint + read results). Agency plan has full API including webhooks on scan completion.
Is there a free plan?
The scan at /scan is free with no signup. Run as many scans as you want (rate-limited to 10 per 5 minutes per IP). You only pay when you want the AI explanations, fix suggestions, monitoring, and reports.
