CookieBox.ro is a Romanian-based technology company specializing in providing a fully customizable, cross-platform cookie consent management solution designed to help websites comply with GDPR regulations. The company, Conversion Marketing SRL, offers a SaaS product that enables website owners, nonprofits, and bloggers to easily create and manage cookie consent popups without programming skills. The business is positioned as a reputable provider in the European market, evidenced by an award for Best Cookie Consent Manager Solution and a strong aggregate user rating. Technically, the website employs modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery, Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and Google reCAPTCHA to ensure functionality, analytics, and security. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices and a moderate performance profile. Security measures include HTTPS enforcement, CSRF tokens in forms, and bot protection via reCAPTCHA, although some security headers are missing and no explicit security policy or incident response information is published. The security posture is solid with no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. Privacy compliance is supported by a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism and GDPR-focused content, though a dedicated privacy policy page was not found. Contact information is clear and professional, enhancing business credibility. WHOIS data is privacy protected as per ROTLD policies, which is typical for Romanian domains, and does not detract from the legitimacy of the business. Overall, CookieBox.ro presents a trustworthy, professional, and compliant service offering with room for improvement in security transparency and privacy policy publication. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing security and incident response policies, and maintaining regular audits of third-party scripts.

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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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';…

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

CookieBox.ro operates in the technology sector, focusing on GDPR compliance solutions for website owners and organizations. Its SaaS business model targets nonprofits, bloggers, and businesses requiring cookie consent management. The company leverages partnerships with related domains such as Conectoo and Profitshare to expand its ecosystem. The presence of an award and numerous positive reviews indicates a strong market position. Revenue streams likely include subscription fees for personalized cookie consent solutions. The company maintains a medium-sized operation with 42 employees and a clear brand identity. Growth indicators include multi-language support and continuous feature enhancements. The partnership ecosystem and affiliate programs suggest a strategic approach to market penetration and customer acquisition.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of CSRF tokens and Google reCAPTCHA to mitigate common web threats. The cookie consent mechanism aligns with GDPR requirements, providing users control over cookie preferences. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy is published, which could enhance transparency and incident response readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. Overall, the security culture appears proactive but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced header configurations to further reduce risk.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen defense-in-depth.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page to complement the cookie consent mechanism and improve GDPR compliance transparency.
  3. Develop and publish a security policy and incident response plan accessible to users and stakeholders.
  4. Introduce a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate supply chain risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript-based front-end with libraries such as jQuery and Slick Carousel for UI components. Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics are integrated for marketing and analytics purposes, alongside Google reCAPTCHA for bot mitigation. The site is mobile responsive and employs CSRF tokens in forms, indicating attention to security in user input handling. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and optimized CSS. No CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or framework-based implementation. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and SEO further by adding ARIA attributes and enhancing semantic HTML usage.
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.
