Geo Targeted Cookie Scanning

Overview

Geo Targeted Cookie Scanning helps you review which cookies, scripts, HTML storage items, iframes, and tracking pixels are detected on your Shopify store from a selected scan location.

This is useful when your store serves visitors from different regions and you want a clearer view of the tracking technologies that may appear depending on where the scan is performed.

How It Works

When you request a new cookie scan in Pandectes, you can select a scan location, such as the European Union, United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, or Japan.

Pandectes then scans your storefront from that selected region and generates a report with the detected technologies. The scan report can help you understand what is running on your store, which providers are involved, and whether detected items are already categorized correctly.

What You Can Review

After the scan is complete, the report may include:

• Cookies detected on your store
• Script tags loaded on the storefront
• HTML storage, including local storage and session storage
• Embedded iframes
• Tracking pixels
• Cookie providers
• Cookie categories
• Retention periods
• Unclassified items that may need review

Why This Matters

Tracking technologies can vary depending on visitor location, installed apps, marketing tools, storefront behavior, or third-party services.

Geo targeted scanning gives you a more practical way to inspect your store from different regions instead of relying on a single scan result. This can help you keep your cookie list, cookie declaration, and privacy configuration easier to review and maintain.

How to Access It

1. Open your Shopify admin.
2. Go to Apps.
3. Open Pandectes GDPR Compliance.
4. From the left menu, go to Reports.
5. Open the scan report area or scan history.
6. Request a new scan and choose the scan location.
7. Review the results after the scan is complete.

Key Points to Understand

• Previous scans remain available, so you can compare changes over time.
• Scan results help identify cookies, scripts, storage, iframes, and pixels.
• Unknown or unclassified items may need manual review.
• Scan results should be reviewed regularly, especially after adding new apps, pixels, scripts, or marketing tools.
• The scanner helps provide visibility, but merchants should still review their setup based on their own store configuration and applicable requirements.

Summary

Geo Targeted Cookie Scanning gives Shopify merchants a clearer view of what is running on their storefront from different regions. By reviewing scan results in Pandectes, you can better understand your tracking setup and keep your cookie information more accurate over time.
