8. Browser Extension
The fixGDPR browser extension (available for Chrome and Firefox) sends the URL of the active tab to fixgdpr.xyz to perform a compliance scan. Specifically:
- Only the URL of the page you choose to scan is transmitted
- No browsing history is collected or stored
- No data is collected from pages you visit without clicking the extension
- Scan results are stored the same way as web scans (see Section 2)
9. Cookies & Analytics
We use essential cookies required for authentication (session token via Clerk). We also use PostHog for product analytics — this is opt-in only. No analytics data is collected until you explicitly accept cookies via the consent banner. You can withdraw consent at any time by clicking “Reject All” in the cookie banner.
We do not use advertising or tracking cookies. No data is shared with advertising networks.
