## Overview

CookieYesbot is the official scanning bot used by CookieYes to verify the implementation and behavior of cookie consent banners, privacy notices, and compliance configurations across websites that use our platform.
This bot helps ensure that websites meet requirements under data protection laws such as the GDPR, CCPA, ePrivacy Directive, and other global privacy frameworks.

## What CookieYesbot Does

CookieYesbot performs automated scans on publicly accessible web pages to:

- Detect and validate cookie consent banner implementations

- Identify region-specific banner behavior and consent flows

- Verify whether the correct banner is active and properly displayed

- Audit script configurations and policy link placements

- Provide diagnostic insights to CookieYes users for compliance optimization

CookieYesbot does not index content, scrape data, or perform deep or intrusive crawling. Scans are limited to the scope of consent management verification.

## Bot Category

Category: Security
CookieYesbot is classified as a Security and Compliance scanner that assists websites in maintaining up-to-date and legally compliant consent mechanisms.

## User Agent

All requests made by CookieYesbot use the following user agent string:



```html
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; CookieYesbot/1.0; +http://www.cookieyes.com/documentation/cookieyesbot) Chrome/146.0.0.0 Safari/537.36
```

We recommend whitelisting this user agent in your firewall or bot management systems if you are a CookieYes customer or partner, to ensure uninterrupted scan performance.



## Security and Compliance

CookieYesbot is designed to operate within strict security and ethical guidelines:

- No personal data is collected or stored

- All requests are lightweight and limited in frequency

- The bot is used solely for the purpose of consent compliance and diagnostic scanning

- Scanning occurs only upon account connection, user-triggered requests, or scheduled audits for active CookieYes users

## Access Control

CookieYesbot does not scan authentication-required pages or private environments by default. Scans are restricted to publicly available content unless a customer has explicitly requested or authorized a scan behind authentication (e.g., through session token or whitelisted access).
