Tips for Successful Compliance Crawls
Modern browsers tend to silently compensate for a range of underlying website issues, including redirect chains, JavaScript errors, anti-bot logic, and geolocation inconsistencies. A diagnostic crawler, by contrast, cannot ignore these behaviours, as they directly affect how consent mechanisms are delivered to different users. To help minimise these situations, a few practical guidelines are worth keeping in mind.
How to Whitelist Our Crawler
If your website firewall (for example, Cloudflare) blocks or slows down the Verified CONSENT crawler, you can whitelist its user-agent. This ensures our audit can run smoothly without being throttled or blocked.
PII Audit Reference For Google Analytics
Even if you delete personal identifiable information (PII) from your Google Analytics reports, the damage has been done. In addition, such sensitive information passed in URLs and cookies is also likely to be collected by other trackers on your pages and all the servers/routers in transit. Hence, it’s better to audit and route out PII regularly. This reference guide describes the Verified ANALYTICS methodology.
How to Use the Verified Data API
Our APIs allow you to programmatically access all test results and settings from your account. This can be a pull of all projects, for a specific project, a specific audit or test. In this article I show how you can try out the Verified ANALYTICS API calls with no coding required.
