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

CookieTractor is a specialized European technology company providing a user-friendly, accessible cookie consent solution designed to help websites comply with GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive. The company emphasizes accessibility, supporting WCAG 2.2 AAA standards and the European Accessibility Act, and offers a customizable cookie banner with multi-language support. Their business model is SaaS-based with tiered pricing according to website size. The website content is professional and well-structured, targeting website owners needing compliant cookie management solutions. Technically, the site uses modern JavaScript libraries, integrates Matomo and Google Analytics for tracking, and is hosted behind Cloudflare, ensuring good performance and security. Security posture is strong with HTTPS and secure form handling, although explicit security headers and a public security policy are absent. Privacy compliance is robust, with clear privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms. However, the lack of WHOIS registration data reduces trustworthiness and business credibility, suggesting the domain may be unregistered or privacy protected. Overall, CookieTractor presents a mature, compliant, and accessible solution with room for improvement in transparency and security documentation.

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

2 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 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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

CookieTractor occupies a niche in the European market for cookie consent solutions, differentiating itself through strong accessibility compliance and a focus on legal adherence. Its SaaS subscription model targets small to medium-sized website operators who require straightforward, legally compliant cookie banners. The company has established credibility through partnerships and references with reputable organizations such as Volvo, UNICEF, and the Swedish Government. The use of Hubspot and Google marketing tools indicates a mature marketing strategy. The absence of direct contact emails and phone numbers suggests a preference for controlled communication via forms. The domain's unclear WHOIS status is a potential risk factor but does not detract from the professional presentation and customer trust signals. Strategic growth could focus on expanding language support and enhancing security transparency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enforced and secure form handling using anti-forgery tokens. Cookie consent is implemented to block non-essential cookies until user approval, aligning with GDPR requirements. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a gap that could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact reduces transparency and preparedness perception. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by adding security headers and publicly available security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish standard security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, etc.) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Provide direct company contact emails and phone numbers to improve business credibility and customer trust.
  5. Verify and update WHOIS registration information to ensure domain legitimacy and improve trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including JavaScript and jQuery, with integration of Matomo and Google Analytics for analytics and Google Tag Manager for tag management. Hosting is via Cloudflare, providing CDN and security benefits. The site uses ASP.NET Core backend as inferred from cookies. Performance is optimized with small client files and CDN delivery. Accessibility is a key focus, with compliance to WCAG 2.2 AAA and the European Accessibility Act, ensuring excellent mobile and desktop usability. SEO is supported with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The technical implementation is robust, though adding explicit security headers and improving WHOIS data transparency would further strengthen the infrastructure.
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.
