Privacy Radar ยท local browser control

See what your browser cookies can do.

Inspect which cookies are stored, understand their possible role, and remove the ones you no longer need. Metadata stays local and cookie values are never requested or displayed.

No uploadBrowser-localEvidence, not guesses

Browser-side evidence only: this cannot show a company's private server logs, account history, or data inferences.

How this helps

Turn hidden browser state into a decision.

Privacy Radar does not claim to know everything a company knows about you. It helps you inspect the browser evidence you can control and decide what should stay.

01

See

Find cookie names, domains, scopes, expiration, security flags, and stores without exposing cookie values.

02

Understand

Use categories and possible capabilities to distinguish session, security, consent, analytics, advertising, and identifier signals.

03

Choose

Filter categories, inspect the evidence, and request deletion when the possible benefit no longer outweighs the site behavior it supports.

Keep perspective

Cookies are clues, not the whole picture.

Privacy Radar cannot see a company's private server logs, account history, data partnerships, or inferences. A cookie name is not proof of tracking, and no visible cookie does not prove that no data is collected.

Optional page context

What this page loads outside itself.

These are the origins the current page loaded. Likely trackers are flagged with extra signals, but final removal still depends on the browser's site-data controls.

No third-party origins were detected in the current scan.
Limitations

Browser privacy rules still apply.

The website never receives cookie values. With the extension bridge, you can review heuristic purpose and risk signals, then explicitly request deletion from the browser.

Questions, answered

Know the boundaries before you act.

Privacy tools are more useful when their limits are explicit.

What does Privacy Radar detect?

It inspects the current page for third-party scripts, images, iframes, beacons, and other loaded resources that can reveal tracking activity.

Can it delete third-party cookies directly?

Not by itself. The website needs the Privacy Radar extension and your explicit confirmation to request cookie deletion. Without the extension, browsers restrict access to other origins.

Does it send my scan anywhere?

No. The scan and cookie inventory run in your browser. Cookie values are never requested or displayed.

Companion extension

See what this website cannot.

Extension not detected

A website can scan only the page where it is running. Browser security prevents it from inspecting another tab or reading the Cookie headers that browsers send automatically. The Chrome extension runs with your permission and can observe the active tab's requests, show cookie names sent to external destinations, inventory accessible browser cookie stores, analyze metadata heuristically, and request explicit cookie deletion.

Download for ChromeVersion 1.0.8 - local processing

The local handshake confirms the installed version, then cookie metadata loads automatically. Scan results and cookie metadata stay in your browser; cookie values are never requested or displayed.

Manual install

Three minutes to get started.

  1. Download the ZIP, then extract it to a folder. Chrome cannot load the ZIP directly.
  2. Open chrome://extensions, enable Developer mode, and choose Load unpacked.
  3. Select the extracted extension folder, open a normal HTTPS page, and reload it before scanning.

The extension asks for broad site access because it must inspect whichever site you choose. It does not upload browsing data, cookie values, or reports. Review the permissions and the privacy policy before installing.
