    Am I missing something vital here?

    Complianz gives out a bunch of cookies on my site, while scanning, as can be seen in the other topic here:
    If I visit the site as an anonymous user, however, then I basically see no cookies, as shown in this picture:

    On the blocked tab, the browser only shows Youtube, which makes sense in this case, because there is embedded Youtube on the site.

    So why is Complianz finding so many cookies, when the browser does not show them?

    This especially interesting to be, because Complianz seems to find a bunch of Kadence cookies, with bothers me a lot. But on the other hand, the browser does not show them…

    Hi @bestcases,

    This “used cookies” screen in Chrome might not display everything that the Complianz scan detects. For instance, as far as I know, that screen doesn’t include LocalStorage entries.

    The recommended way of verifying that these entries are present in the browser, would be to use the Chrome Developer Tools > Application, so you can also clearly see the Local storage & Session storage entries.

    Additionally, it seems that this solely concerns Functional Cookies/LocalStorage entries (t3D, tADe, tTDu, etc) which do not require prior consent.

    Kind regards,
    Jarno
