explain_finding
ClaudeExplain a CookieInspector finding code (e.g. THIRD_PARTY_PRE_CONSENT) or what to check in a named consent platform (e.g. Cookiebot). No network call. Technical findings, not legal advice.
Overview
CookieInspector checks a website's cookie consent. Ask it about any public site and it runs a quick pre-scan: which consent platform the site uses (30+ recognised, such as Cookiebot, OneTrust or CookieYes), which known trackers it loads, whether Google Consent Mode is present, and a risk score, with a link to the full report on cookieinspector.com. It can also explain any finding in plain language, for example what "cookies before consent" means or what a consent platform does. Who it is for: site owners, marketers, agencies, privacy consultants and lawyers who want to know whether a site loads tracking before the visitor consents, under GDPR, ePrivacy and CCPA. Limitations: the pre-scan reads the page's HTML and headers; it does not click the banner. The full browser scan, which records what loads before and after consent, runs on cookieinspector.com (first site free with a free account). Private and internal addresses are not scanned, and pre-scans are limited per hour. Results are technical findings, not legal advice. CookieInspector works alongside a site's consent platform; it does not replace it.
Tools
get_capabilities
ClaudeDescribe what CookieInspector checks on a website (cookies and trackers before and after the consent click, banner behaviour, consent platform, Google Consent Mode), which tools work without an account, which need a CookieInspector API key, and the quotas. Call this first when unsure which tool to use. Technical findings, not legal advice.
get_prescan_result
ClaudeReturn the result of a pre-scan started with prescan_site: riskScore (0 best, 100 worst, the same scale as the full report), risk level, how many cookies load before consent, up to five trackers by name, the consent platform and its confidence, Google Consent Mode status, three findings, and the report link. This is a header-and-HTML pre-scan, single page; the full scan with a real browser, evidence and fix guide requires a CookieInspector account. Technical findings, not legal advice.
prescan_site
ClaudeStart a quick, anonymous pre-scan of a public website's home page: HTTP headers and HTML only, no real browser. Returns a preScanId to pass to get_prescan_result and a link to the report on cookieinspector.com. CookieInspector works alongside any consent platform; it checks what the banner actually does. Technical findings, not legal advice.
