Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 13, 2026

Introduction

Welcome to CookieSentry. We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our cookie compliance scanning service.

By using CookieSentry, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, please do not use our service.

Information We Collect

Personal Information

When you register for CookieSentry, we collect:

  • Name and email address
  • Company name and website URL
  • Payment information (processed securely through third-party providers)
  • Account credentials (encrypted passwords)

Website Scanning Data

When you use our scanning service, we collect:

  • URLs of websites you scan
  • Cookie data found on scanned websites

  • Technical data about cookie behavior and classifications

Usage Information

We automatically collect certain information when you use our service:

  • IP address and location data
  • Usage patterns and feature interactions
  • Log data and error reports

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide, operate, and maintain our cookie scanning service
  • Process your transactions and send you related information
  • Send you technical notices, updates, and security alerts
  • Respond to your comments, questions, and customer service requests

Our Cookie Usage

As a cookie compliance tool, we practice what we preach. Our public website sets no tracking cookies and no marketing cookies — which is why you see no consent banner. Consent is only required when non-essential storage or tracking is used, and we use neither.

Essential cookies (logged-in area only)

When you sign in to the dashboard, a session cookie is required for authentication and security. These are strictly necessary under ePrivacy Article 5(3) and do not require consent.

Analytics — cookieless

We use Umami, a privacy-friendly, EU-hosted analytics tool. Umami sets no cookies, uses no cross-site identifiers, and does not build user profiles. IP addresses are hashed and discarded. Only aggregate page views, referrers, and country-level location are collected.

Data Storage & Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your personal information:

  • All data is encrypted in transit using TLS/SSL
  • Passwords are hashed using bcrypt with salt
  • Data is stored in secure, SOC 2 compliant data centers
  • Regular security audits and penetration testing
  • Access controls and authentication for all team members
  • Automated backups with encryption at rest

Your scan data is retained for as long as your account is active. You can delete your data at any time from your account settings.

Right to Access
