CookieChecker by CookieHub offers a free cookie scanning tool and promotes its CookieHub Consent Management Platform to help website owners comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations. The website targets businesses and website administrators seeking to manage cookie consent effectively. The business operates in the technology sector with a SaaS model, providing tools for cookie scanning and consent management. The market position is focused on compliance and privacy solutions with a clear emphasis on GDPR requirements. Technically, the website is built using modern web technologies including Next.js and React, with integration of Google Tag Manager and CookieHub scripts for analytics and consent management. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and a professional design, though SEO and accessibility features are basic. Performance is moderate with deferred script loading. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and implements a cookie consent mechanism, but lacks visible security headers and explicit security policies. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Privacy compliance is partially addressed through cookie consent but lacks a published privacy policy and terms of service. Contact information and incident response details are absent, limiting transparency. Overall, the website is functional and professional with moderate trustworthiness. Strategic improvements include publishing comprehensive privacy and security policies, enhancing security headers, and providing clear contact and incident response information to strengthen compliance and user trust.

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. 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

  2. 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 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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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

CookieChecker operates as a specialized compliance tool provider within the technology sector, focusing on cookie scanning and consent management. Its SaaS business model includes free trials and paid plans, targeting website owners needing GDPR compliance solutions. The company leverages partnerships with CookieHub and integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics. The market positioning emphasizes ease of compliance and user trust building. Growth potential exists through expanding compliance features and improving transparency. The absence of detailed company information and contact data suggests a lean operation or early-stage business. The partnership ecosystem includes CookieHub as a key related domain, reinforcing the product offering.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and a functional cookie consent mechanism. However, it lacks published security policies, incident response contacts, and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified in the provided content. Compliance with GDPR is partially addressed through consent but incomplete without a privacy policy. The absence of contact information for security incidents reduces readiness. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a SaaS compliance tool but requires enhancements to meet best practices and regulatory expectations fully.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the website footer or main navigation.
  2. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Provide explicit contact information for security incidents and general inquiries to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards for broader user inclusivity.
  5. Improve SEO by adding structured data (JSON-LD) and meta tags for better search engine visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React/Next.js framework with deferred JavaScript loading to optimize performance. It integrates Google Tag Manager and CookieHub scripts for analytics and consent management. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design elements. However, no CMS is detected, indicating a custom or headless architecture. Hosting provider details are not evident from the HTML content. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in SEO and accessibility. The technical stack is current and supports scalability but would benefit from enhanced security configurations and metadata enrichment.
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.
