Frequently Asked Questions
When should I rescan my website?
Trigger a rescan whenever you make changes that may affect cookie detection — including adding or removing third-party plugins, updating marketing scripts, changing tag manager configurations, or modifying your Secure Privacy blocking and classification settings. A routine rescan at least quarterly is also recommended as part of ongoing compliance management.
How long does a rescan take?
Scan duration depends on the size and complexity of your website. Most scans complete within a few minutes. If the scan is taking significantly longer than expected, contact Secure Privacy support at [email protected].
Will the rescan update my cookie declaration automatically?
Yes. Once the rescan is complete, your cookie declaration is updated to reflect the newly detected cookies and services — ensuring your published declaration stays accurate and aligned with your website's current tracking technologies.
