Compliance Scanner

The PolicifyAI Compliance Scanner crawls any publicly accessible website and produces a detailed compliance report — detecting trackers, missing policies, and cookie categorisation problems. It assigns an A–F compliance score based on GDPR, CCPA, and ePrivacy requirements.

Running a scan

Go to Dashboard → Scanner. Enter any public URL (including client websites) and click Scan. Scans typically complete in 15–45 seconds depending on site complexity.

💡 You can scan any publicly accessible URL — not just your own sites. Agency users can scan client websites directly from the scanner or from a client record.

Understanding the report

Compliance score (A–F)

The score summarises the site's overall compliance posture across the detected jurisdiction. A = fully compliant, F = critical issues found. The score is calculated from tracker presence, missing policies, and GDPR/CCPA opt-out availability.

Trackers detected

The scanner identifies 50+ tracker types. Detected trackers are listed with their category (analytics, advertising, functional, etc.) and whether they were observed firing before consent was given. Common trackers detected include:

Google Analytics (GA4 / UA)Google Tag ManagerFacebook / Meta PixelFacebook Conversions APIHotjarIntercomHubSpotZendeskCrisp ChatTypeformStripePayPalCloudflareSentryMixpanelAmplitudeSegmentTikTok PixelLinkedIn Insight TagTwitter / X Pixel

Policy links

The scanner checks for Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, and Terms of Service links anywhere in the page DOM — including the footer. Missing or broken links are flagged as issues.

Cookie categorisation

All cookies set by the page are listed with their name, domain, expiry, and inferred category. Uncategorised cookies are highlighted as they may need disclosure in your Cookie Policy.

Common issues & fixes

Re-scanning

After fixing issues, re-scan the same URL to verify your score has improved. Each scan creates a new snapshot — you can compare scores over time. Scan results are stored in your dashboard for 90 days.

Exporting scan reports
