To answer this question, please enter in the URL of the website that you would like to be scanned for cookies. If you have one, we recommend that you add your website’s sitemap URL to perform the scan, as this can provide a more comprehensive list of cookies that are implemented on the website. It is recommended that you use a .xml sitemap URL for this purpose (not html). 


Below are some common website building platforms and their respective sitemap URLs: 


WordPress websites

Default: “/wp-sitemap.xml”

Didn’t work? Try: “/sitemap.xml”

If you are using WordPress, simply add “/sitemap.xml” to your website domain. 


Test it! Type in your sitemap url into a browser and see if the page loads. The URL may load, or it may auto-forward to the correct sitemap url (such as "/wp-sitemap.xml" or "/sitemap_index.xml"). Once you've confirmed the sitemap url, you can add it to your Scan within the questionnaire.


Are you still not seeing a sitemap on your WordPress article? You may want to consider adding one (here's a third party article discussing how to do this).


Squarespace websites 

Default: "/sitemap.xml"

If you are using Squarespace, add "/sitemap.xml" to your website domain. 


So for example, if your website url is https://fancyapples.com, then you would list https://fancyapples.com/sitemap.xml


Test it! Type in your sitemap url into a browser and see if the page loads. Once confirmed you can add it to your Scan within the questionnaire.


Shopify websites 

Default: "/sitemap.xml"

If you are using Shopify, add "/sitemap.xml" to your website domain. 


So for example, if your website url is https://fancyapples.com, then you would list https://fancyapples.com/sitemap.xml


Test it! Type in your sitemap url into a browser and see if the page loads. Once confirmed you can add it to your Scan within the questionnaire.
