Cookie Detective is a browser extension that analyzes cookies on any website, identifies trackers, and helps you understand your privacy risks. It shows you exactly which companies are following you across the internet. ❓ How does the risk algorithm work? Our algorithm evaluates cookies based on 9 factors: Is it a third-party cookie? Does it have Secure and HttpOnly flags? How long does it live? Does the domain belong to a known tracker (Google, Facebook, etc.)? Does the name match tracking patterns? Is the value encoded? Based on these factors, each cookie gets a risk score and level: High, Medium, or Low. ❓ Is my data safe? Is this extension spying on me? Absolutely not. Everything happens locally in your browser. Cookie Detective: ✅ Does NOT collect any personal data ✅ Does NOT send cookies to any server ✅ Does NOT track your browsing history ✅ Works completely offline You can inspect the source code anytime — it's open for review. ❓ Why are some cookies marked as "high risk"?
