How the Scanner Finds Cookies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The scanner loads each page you select in a real browser, the same way a visitor would, and records every cookie set during that visit. It detects cookies added by your theme, plugins, embeds, and tag managers, including ones injected by JavaScript after the page loads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because it captures a single, logged-out visit, it only sees what a first-time visitor would trigger. Cookies that depend on signing in, completing an action, or a specific visitor’s location are the ones most likely to be missed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Common Reasons a Cookie Is Missed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n- It loads only after an action<\/strong> \u2013 Some cookies are set when a visitor signs in, submits a form, adds to cart, plays a video, or clicks to load an embed. The scanner doesn’t perform those actions, so the cookie is never set during the scan.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- The page wasn’t scanned<\/strong> \u2013 Only the pages you select are visited. A cookie that fires on a page outside that selection won’t be found.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- It loads conditionally<\/strong> \u2013 Scripts that run only for certain regions, A\/B-test groups, signed-in users, or referrers may not fire for the scanner.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- It’s behind a login or paywall<\/strong> \u2013 The scanner visits your site as a public, logged-out visitor and can’t reach members-only or gated pages.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- The script was blocked during the scan<\/strong> \u2013 If a script is held before consent, by SureCookie’s own blocking or another consent tool, it never runs, so its cookie is never set for the scanner to see.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- It’s set server-side on specific requests<\/strong> \u2013 Some cookies are written only on actions like checkout or a form submission, not on a normal page view.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- A cache served a different page<\/strong> \u2013 A page cache or CDN can return a stripped or cached version that differs from what a real visitor receives.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- It isn’t a site cookie at all<\/strong> \u2013 Cookies from a browser extension, your logged-in admin session, or a tag-debugging tool appear in your browser but aren’t part of your public site.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Scan the Page Where the Cookie Appears<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If you know which page sets the missing cookie, scan that page directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Go to SureCookie \u2192 Cookie Manager \u2192 Manual<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Under Select Pages<\/strong>, choose the page or pages where the cookie is set.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Click Start Scan<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Open the All Cookies<\/strong> tab to confirm the cookie now appears.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

When a cookie only appears under conditions the scanner can’t reproduce, such as a login, a checkout, or a region-locked script, add it by hand. A manually added cookie is treated exactly like a detected one: your banner discloses it and blocks it by category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
