Tracking & Consent · Evidence Guard

A regulator just asked for your consent evidence. Do you have it?

Most companies don’t. Evidence Guard scans your pages daily, captures time-stamped proof of every consent flow, and generates audit-ready evidence packs — so when the question comes, you answer in minutes, not months.

This is what’s at stake

Consent failures are the fastest-growing GDPR fine category

“2,100+ enforcement actions this year alone. When the regulator asks you to prove a consent flow was compliant on a specific date, a CMP can’t answer — evidence can.”

What we monitor

Every consent signal that has to hold up under scrutiny

A real browser visits your pages daily and scores each one against a 20-rule, deterministic engine.

Consent capture

Whether opt-in is valid — affirmative, unchecked by default, and clearly worded.

  • Checkboxes unchecked by default (no pre-checked consent)
  • An explicit opt-in mechanism on every data-collection form
  • Consent text present and specific near each form

Cookie & banner compliance

Whether your cookie consent meets ePrivacy expectations.

  • Cookie banner present and detected
  • Consent language beside action buttons
  • Double opt-in where the jurisdiction requires it

Disclosure & dark patterns

Whether disclosures are visible and free of manipulative patterns.

  • Privacy policy link adjacent to every form (Article 13)
  • No dark patterns — no pre-checked or coerced consent
  • Disclosures visible, not vague or buried

Evidence & retention

Whether you can still prove it months later — the whole point.

  • Timestamped screenshots, HTML, and DOM stored immutably
  • Append-only audit trail designed for scrutiny
  • Historical scan trail (30 / 90 / 365-day retention by plan)

How it works

From scan to audit-ready pack

  1. 01

    Scan

    A real browser visits your pages daily — seeing exactly what your users and regulators see. No code, no script tags.

  2. 02

    Findings

    A 20-rule engine scores each page 0–100. Deterministic — same page, same score, every time.

  3. 03

    Evidence

    Screenshots, HTML snapshots, and DOM consent elements, all UTC-timestamped and stored immutably.

  4. 04

    Report

    An audit-ready PDF evidence pack lands in every stakeholder’s inbox — and a Friday regression is caught by Saturday.

Sample finding

This is what a finding looks like

R-012Critical

Missing privacy link near a data-collection form

Impact

Regulators expect a visible privacy-policy link adjacent to every form that collects personal data. Without it, you have a standing Article 13 disclosure gap — and no defensible record that you ever met the requirement.

Fix

Add a privacy-policy link directly below or beside the form’s submit button, then let the next daily scan capture timestamped proof that it’s in place.

FAQ

Questions, answered

We already have a CMP. Why do we need this?

A CMP collects consent. Evidence Guard proves it’s working correctly. CMPs break silently — after updates, deploys, or vendor changes. When a regulator asks “show me your consent flow was compliant on March 15th,” your CMP can’t answer that. Evidence Guard can.

Does this replace our privacy lawyer?

No — and it’s not trying to. Evidence Guard provides evidence infrastructure, not legal advice: the raw proof your lawyer needs to defend you. We capture and score consent data; your lawyer interprets the legal obligations.

How quickly can we get started?

Under 5 minutes. Enter your URL, choose your scan pages, and your first evidence pack arrives within hours. No code changes, no script tags, no developer involvement required.

How often do scans run?

Daily by default — because consent flows can break any day. You can also trigger on-demand scans whenever you need them from your dashboard.

What exactly gets stored as evidence?

Full-page screenshots, complete HTML snapshots, DOM consent elements, UTC timestamps, compliance scores, and finding details. Everything is stored securely with append-only audit trails — designed to withstand regulatory scrutiny.

Can agencies white-label reports for clients?

Yes. The Agency plan includes white-label PDF reports with your company branding. We also offer a partner program — visit our Partners page for referral commissions and reseller pricing.

What if a scan finds something critical?

Your scan report highlights critical findings with their severity, why they matter, and the exact steps to fix them. Most critical findings can be resolved within hours — turning a potential six-figure fine into a same-day fix.

Do you check cookie banners specifically?

Yes — cookie banner detection is one of our core checks. We scan for cookie banner presence, consent language near action buttons, and compliance signals. Cookie banner failures are the single most common trigger for GDPR fines.

How long is evidence retained?

Starter: 30 days. Professional: 90 days. Agency: up to 1 year. Regulatory investigations often look back months or years — longer retention means stronger defense.

Do I need to install anything on my website?

Nothing. Evidence Guard scans your public pages externally using a real browser — exactly like a regulator would. No code changes, no cookies, no tracking scripts on your site.

What if I’m not satisfied?

Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial with full access. After that, there’s a 30-day money-back guarantee — no questions asked. We’re confident you’ll see the value in your first evidence pack.

Do you offer a partner or reseller program?

Yes — three tiers: Referral Partners earn recurring commission, White-Label Resellers get wholesale pricing with full branding control, and Strategic Partners get custom arrangements. Visit our Partners page to apply.
