Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureYour consent app says it blocks trackers. We check. Consentinel visits your store three ways: Reject all, Accept all, and with Global Privacy Control on. It names every ad vendor that keeps tracking after a shopper says no, with the request that proves it. Retailers are being sued under California's wiretap law for exactly this.
Your cookie banner says tracking waits for consent. This app checks whether it does. Each check visits your store three times as a shopper in the EU, from Frankfurt: once without answering the banner, once pressing Reject, once pressing Accept.
- Free scan of your live storefront the moment you install
- Shows the theme file and line each ad tag is hardcoded in
- Daily rescans and email alerts when a new tracker ignores an opt-out
- Three visits per check from the EU: no choice, Reject and Accept
- Decodes Google Consent Mode: a denied ping is shown as denied, not as a send
- The request, the time and screenshots behind every finding
- Names the theme file and line, app embed or pixel a tracker comes from
