Compliance Score

Get an instant numerical GDPR compliance score for any website based on cookies, scripts, storage, and banners.

GDPR compliance is rarely binary. A site may block most marketing cookies while still leaking a single analytics tag before consent, or it may have a perfect banner but misconfigured storage. A numerical Compliance Score turns this complexity into a single, trackable metric that teams can use to prioritize work and demonstrate progress.

The score is calculated from dozens of signals captured during a live browser scan: pre-consent cookies, third-party scripts, localStorage and sessionStorage writes, consent banner presence, CMP configuration, dark-pattern indicators, and Google Consent Mode status. Each signal is weighted by regulatory risk so the result reflects real-world severity rather than a simple pass-or-fail checklist.

For organizations running quarterly audits or managing multiple client sites, the Compliance Score becomes a KPI. You can compare domains, track improvements after remediation, and quickly identify which properties need attention first. It transforms privacy compliance from a reactive fire drill into a measurable engineering practice.

Frequently asked questions

How often is the score updated?
The score is computed fresh for every scan. You can rescan as often as you like to capture the latest state of the site.
What inputs affect the score?
Cookies, localStorage/sessionStorage, third-party scripts, network requests, consent banner behavior, CMP detection, dark-pattern signals, and Google Consent Mode configuration.
Is the score legal advice?
No. It is a technical risk indicator. Final compliance determinations should always involve legal review.
