Cookiebot Compliance Checker Verify Your Setup Is Working
Cookiebot (now part of Usercentrics) is a solid, widely-trusted CMP with automatic cookie scanning and IAB TCF support. But site updates, new marketing tags, and uncategorized scripts can silently break compliance - without Cookiebot flagging the issue.
We work alongside Cookiebot - not against it
Cookiebot manages your consent configuration. We independently verify that configuration produces the right outcome in a real browser - catching issues that appear after site changes and tag deployments.
What we verify that Cookiebot alone cannot confirm
These six checks require independent browser-based observation to confirm your implementation works in practice.
| Check | Why Cookiebot alone cannot confirm it |
|---|---|
| Pre-consent cookies | Cookiebot auto-blocks scripts it has categorized. But uncategorized third-party scripts, inline scripts, and dynamically injected tags can fire before Cookiebot's blocking activates. |
| Google Consent Mode v2 signals | Cookiebot generates Consent Mode signals. The timing of signal initialization relative to tag manager load and the presence of all 4 v2 signals must be verified externally. |
| Reject All enforcement | New marketing tags, plugin updates, or GTM changes can add scripts that Cookiebot has not yet categorized, causing them to fire unconsented after Reject All. |
| GPC signal handling | Cookiebot can be configured to recognize GPC. Whether that configuration actually suppresses tracking in a real GPC-enabled browser session requires independent testing. |
| Dark pattern checks | Cookiebot provides the template and the mechanism. The visual design choices made during deployment - prominence, pre-ticked boxes, label wording - are outside Cookiebot's automatic control. |
| Multi-region behavior (up to 15 regions) | Cookiebot supports regional configuration rules. We test from actual EU, UK, and US-California IPs to confirm geo-specific behavior matches your configuration. |
