Does your cookie banner do its job?

How it tests

It tests the banner, not just whether there is one.

Plenty of sites show a cookie banner and track people anyway. NetNav opens your site like a visitor, clicks Reject, and watches what really happens.

Every cookie

Every cookie, in plain words.

NetNav lists every cookie it finds on your site, groups them, and explains what each one is for. Most owners are surprised by what is on the list.

From finding to fix

Fix the banner you already have.

The task shows which trackers start too early, on which pages, and gives steps for your platform to hold them until a visitor agrees.

Why it matters
