0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

All About Cookies is an educational website focused on online privacy and digital security, providing research and hands-on testing to help users understand cookies and privacy issues. The website targets general internet users seeking to improve their online safety and privacy awareness. It operates under Moniker Privacy Services, a US-based organization with a domain registered since 2008, indicating a mature and stable presence in the online privacy education niche. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies including Tailwind CSS, Google Tag Manager, and OneTrust for cookie consent, hosted behind Cloudflare DNS services. The site is mobile optimized and performs moderately well, with good SEO and accessibility basics. Security-wise, HTTPS is enforced, and bot detection is implemented via DataDome, but DNSSEC is not enabled and security headers are not explicitly detected, suggesting room for improvement. Privacy compliance is basic, with a cookie consent mechanism but no explicit privacy policy or terms of service found in the provided content. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional, with no signs of malicious or adult content, but could enhance transparency and security posture by publishing detailed policies and improving DNS security.

This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  2. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The website serves as a niche educational platform in the technology sector, specifically focusing on online privacy and cookie management. Its business model is informational, relying on advertising revenue from Google Adsense and possibly affiliate marketing. The target audience includes general internet users interested in privacy and security. The domain's long registration history and consistent WHOIS data support its credibility. The site leverages partnerships with major ad networks and cookie consent providers like OneTrust, indicating integration with industry-standard tools. However, the absence of direct contact information and formal policies may limit user trust and engagement. There is no evidence of parent or subsidiary companies beyond Moniker Privacy Services. The site maintains consistent branding and content quality, positioning itself as a reliable resource in its niche.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enabled and clientTransferProhibited domain status to prevent unauthorized transfers. It uses DataDome for bot detection and Sentry for error tracking, which are positive security practices. However, the lack of DNSSEC and missing security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces its defense-in-depth. No explicit security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are found, which are important for transparency and incident management. The cookie consent mechanism indicates GDPR awareness but lacks a detailed privacy policy in the analyzed content. Overall, the site is secure for general informational use but could improve by implementing additional security headers, enabling DNSSEC, and publishing security and privacy policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and verify standard security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the homepage.
  4. Add a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern frontend stack with Tailwind CSS for styling and JavaScript libraries for analytics, advertising, and error tracking. Hosting is managed via Cloudflare DNS, providing performance and security benefits. The site includes Google Tag Manager and Adsense scripts for marketing and monetization. Cookie consent is managed through OneTrust, indicating compliance efforts. Performance is moderate with mobile optimization and basic accessibility features present. However, the absence of CMS identification suggests a custom or static site build. The site could benefit from enhanced security configurations and improved metadata for SEO and accessibility. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a stable and professional user experience but has opportunities for modernization and security hardening.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
