How often should I scan?

We recommend a scan after every plugin installation or update. At least once a month.

Are hidden cookies also detected?

Yes. The scanner also detects cookies set by external scripts or iframes, not just direct cookies.

What happens with unknown cookies?

Unknown cookies are displayed and can be manually assigned to a category.

Is data sent to external servers?

No. The scan takes place locally on your server. No data leaves your WordPress installation.
