## Description

CookiePal Inspector shows you what's happening: a one-click verdict, a live timeline of what fired and when, and copy-paste fixes for the issues it finds.

Free, no account required. Works on any site, with any consent banner.

WHAT IT CATCHES

• Default consent missing. Google treats every visitor as someone who didn't consent.
• Default set too late. Your analytics started tracking before the consent rules were declared.
• Partial setup. Only some of the 7 consent categories are configured.
• No Consent Mode at all. Your site isn't sending consent signals to Google.

Each issue links straight to step-by-step fix instructions.

LIVE EVENT TIMELINE

See the exact order things fire on your page. Was consent set before or after Google Analytics started tracking? You'll know in seconds.
