Free tool vs Janitor
This free tool detects a banner from the homepage HTML only. Janitor checks for the banner across the site and pairs it with a real cold-visit crawl that confirms trackers are actually gated before consent.

What this checks
Is there a consent banner at all
Under UK and EU rules, sites that set non-essential cookies generally need to show a consent banner. This tool reads a page HTML and detects whether a recognised consent banner library is present.
It checks for the same set of consent platforms Janitor monitors: CookieYes, Cookiebot, OneTrust, Klaro, Iubenda, Usercentrics, Osano and more.
Why it matters
The first thing a regulator checks
A missing or broken consent banner is a common UK GDPR problem, and it is the kind of thing a client gets a complaint about rather than a warning.
Banners are added and removed as sites change, so one that was in place can quietly disappear after a redesign or migration.
How to fix it
Put a real banner in front
2
Show the banner before tags load
A banner is only useful if non-essential tags wait for consent. Pair it with the pre-consent tracking check.
3
Re-check after redesigns
Migrations and theme changes are where a banner most often goes missing, so confirm it survived.
One of around two dozen checks
Cookie consent checker is one check
Janitor watches cookie consent banners automatically across every client site and puts it in a branded report you can send.

FAQ
Cookie consent checker FAQ
Which consent banners does it detect?
The same libraries Janitor monitors: CookieYes, Cookiebot, OneTrust, Klaro, Cookie Script, Iubenda, Usercentrics, tarteaucitron, Osano and more. A custom or server-rendered banner may not be detected.
Does a banner alone make a site compliant?
No. The banner has to actually gate non-essential tags before consent. Use the pre-consent tracking checker to see whether trackers load on a cold visit.
Can Janitor monitor this over time?
Yes. Janitor checks for the consent banner on every client site, so a banner that disappears after a change is flagged.
