Website integration & monitor

Overview

The Fides website integration and monitor automates the detection of potential data privacy risks on your websites and helps streamline consent management. It scans your site to identify technologies like cookies, pixels, and tags providing detailed information about what they do and where they come from.

The feature also automatically categorizes the systems behind these technologies for consent purposes, helping you stay compliant and in control of how user data is collected and used. Since many common advertising, marketing, and analytics vendors process personal data, this feature ensures they’re added to your inventory and properly categorized, saving you time and reducing risk.
