Is an extension for Google Chrome that crawls a website for cookies and fingerprinting behaviour.
The extension loads the page specified as the root element, follows links recursively up to the specificed depth, and produces a report showing
- what cookies first appeared at what page, together with their domains, expiry times and values;
- what Javascript is accessed that could be used to fingerprint the browser.
Only links that start with the root are crawled. However, you can have muliple roots, seperating them with a comma.
For example, if you want to crawl both https://mydomain.com/ and https://subsite.mydomain.com/, you can enter https://mydomain.com/,https://subsite.mydomain.com/
as the root.
You must include the http
or https
.
When starting to crawl, this extension will delete all cookies in the current environment. It is recommended to run crawls in incognito mode to avoid logging you out from sites from non-incognito mode.
This extension also patches the Javascript environment to
- determine which functions and objects are accessed;
- make time faster, since some trackers are set to load pixels and Javascript after a delay, and crawling takes too long if we waited in real time.
Therefore it's recommended to only have this extension enabled when you are crawling.
