Privacy Crawler

Crawls a website for cookies and fingerprinting

Install Compare

Privacy Crawler is a powerful Chrome extension designed to recursively crawl websites, identifying cookies and potential fingerprinting scripts across pages. It generates comprehensive reports highlighting each cookie's origin, domain, expiry, and value, along with JavaScript accesses that may compromise browser privacy.

To ensure accurate scanning without interference, Privacy Crawler deletes existing cookies before crawling and modifies JavaScript execution for faster analysis. For best results, run the extension in incognito mode and enable it only during crawls to prevent unintended site behavior or logouts.
