# Cookie Scanner Settings

Configure the behavior and automation of the Pandectes Cookie Scanner to ensure your store remains compliant and up to date with the latest tracking technologies.

|| Note: These settings are available exclusively to stores on the Enterprise plan.

### Store Access for Password-Protected Stores

If your Shopify store is password-protected (e.g., before launch), the scanner won’t be able to access your storefront unless a password is provided.

To allow scanning:

* Enter your **Shopify storefront password** in the scanner settings.
* Keep the password updated to prevent failed scans.
* You can find your store’s password in [Shopify > Online Store > Preferences](https://help.shopify.com/manual/online-store/preferences#password-protection)

### Scan Type

Pandectes provides the following scan types:
| **Scan Type** | **Description** |
| Manual Scan | A user-initiated scan is performed on the store requested by the merchant. |
| Schedule Scan | Automatically scans the store based on the schedule configured by the merchant. |

###### Manual Scan

When you visit the scan history inside the scan reports page, there is an option to request such a scan.

This will perform a scan instantly. 

|| Note: Your store is limited to a maximum of 5 scans per day.

###### Schedule Scan

You can enable recurring scans through the **Scan Schedule** section.

Available options:

* **Scan Frequency:** Never, Weekly, Monthly
* **Day & Time:** Choose when the scan should run** **(the scheduler respects your **Shopify store’s timezone**)

|| Note: Your store is limited to a maximum of 5 scans per day.

### Follow-up action

As a follow-up action you can let any new cookies or storage elements detected during a scan to be automatically appended to your existing cookie list (visible in **Cookies & HTML Storage** settings).

This ensures your cookie declaration stays accurate and current without manual intervention.

If you don't check this option the new results will be only visible on the scan report.

### Best Practice

We recommend enabling scheduled scans and keeping password access current (if applicable) to maintain a reliable and legally compliant cookie inventory.
