Why do we need another website scanner? 🤨

Why do we need another website scanner?

I got asked this at sTARTUp Day event in Tartu, Estonia, and honestly, it s a fair question.

There are already a lot of tools that scan websites for Privacy and GDPR.

Privacy-by-Design sounded perfect… until it wasn't.

When building SecureSpells, I made a very intentional early decision: I didn t want to store any readable personal data.

No names. No plain emails. No passwords. Etc...

Unpopular opinion: Most cookie banners are technically fake. 🍪

I've been auditing different websites lately, and I'm finding that most of "compliant" banners still fire scripts before the user clicks Accept.

We get the legal requirements ("Prior Consent"), but the implementation seems impossible to maintain without breaking the UX.

SecureSpells - Find GDPR risks on your live site before regulators do

Most privacy scanners only list cookies. SecureSpells analyzes real runtime behavior to detect the GDPR risks they miss — like pre-consent scripts, hidden trackers, and risky third-party flows. Each issue includes: • A clear risk score • Technical fix instructions • Direct GDPR references Built for developers and agencies who need real compliance answers — not cookie lists. Run a free scan in seconds. No signup required.
