CookieYes Limited operates a Google-certified consent management platform (CMP) designed to help businesses comply with global privacy regulations such as GDPR, CCPA, and CPRA. The company targets businesses of all sizes, providing automated cookie consent management, cookie scanning, and integration with industry standards like Google Tag Manager and IAB TCF v2.2. Trusted by over 1.5 million businesses worldwide, CookieYes holds a strong market position supported by high user ratings and partnerships. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern frameworks like Bootstrap and integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools including Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, Hotjar, and Mixpanel. The site is well-optimized for performance, mobile responsiveness, and SEO, with a professional design and clear navigation. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, uses Google reCAPTCHA for bot protection, and employs Cloudflare services. While explicit security headers are not fully confirmed, best practices are observed with no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. Privacy compliance is robust with comprehensive privacy and cookie policies and a consent banner that supports customization and rejection.

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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

  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

CookieYes is positioned as a leading CMP provider with a SaaS business model offering free trials and paid plans. Its competitive advantages include Google certification, extensive integrations, and a large user base. Revenue streams likely include subscription fees and affiliate partnerships. The company targets diverse customer segments including founders, developers, marketers, and agencies. Growth indicators include a broad product portfolio and active partner programs. The partnership ecosystem includes affiliate marketing via Tapfiliate and integrations with major analytics and advertising platforms. Strategic observations highlight CookieYes's focus on compliance automation and ease of use as key market differentiators.

Security posture

The security maturity level of CookieYes is good, with HTTPS enforced and bot protection via Google reCAPTCHA. The use of Cloudflare Bot Management adds an additional layer of security. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Compliance with GDPR and other privacy laws is evident through detailed policies and consent mechanisms. However, the absence of a published incident response policy and vulnerability disclosure program indicates room for improvement in security governance. The security culture appears proactive but could benefit from enhanced transparency and formalized processes.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and explicitly publish security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Develop and make publicly available an incident response policy to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Create a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt page to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance contact options by adding verified company phone numbers for support and sales.

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.
