Pulse

Scan Detail

Scan Detail shows everything one Pulse scan measured: the checks it ran, the privacy score and findings, what fired and what was stored in each consent pass, the pages visited and the screenshots.

Open it

Open a project in Pulse, click History, then click a scan. The page title is the scan's date and time in the property's time zone, for example "Scan - Oct 14, 2026 9:30 AM (ET)".

Overview

The This scan panel lists what was measured:

ItemShows
ScannedWhen the scan ran
Pages scannedHow many pages were visited
Checks runConsent and/or Accessibility
Browser passesHow many separate browser visits the scan made

Below it, one card per check that ran. Consent & Privacy shows the privacy score out of 100 (or "not scored"), the tier, and the issue and observation counts. Accessibility shows the number of rules failing and the most severe impacts. Click View details on a card to open that check. Back to scan overview returns here.

A check the scan did not run has no card. Not measured is never shown as a clean result.

When reports were published for the scan, a Reports bar offers View Report, Shareable Report, and a button to copy the shareable link.

SectionWhat it holds
TilesPrivacy Score (or "Not scored" when the consent test could not complete), Privacy Tier, Technologies, Issues, Observations, and the site Category
Privacy CategoriesOne row per scored category with its score, a progress bar and notes: CMP Detected, CMP Timing, Consent Mode, Pre-Consent Tracking, Privacy Link, Consent Enforcement. Unscored categories such as US Opt-Out Control and Cookies After Opt-Out are listed underneath with their notes
Technologies & FeaturesDetected technologies and site features
FindingsIssues and observations, with severity. An observation is a record of what the site did, not a fault
Consent Pass DetailOne tab per browser visit (below)
Scanned PagesEvery page visited, the first marked Primary, each with a link to open it
Scan ScreenshotsA screenshot from each consent state

See Privacy Score for how the score is built.

Each tab is a separate visit in a fresh browser. Three chips above the tabs count marketing and analytics trackers: Trackers pre-consent, Trackers after deny and Trackers after GPC. The last two turn red when above zero.

TabThe visit
Baseline (pre-consent)Loads the site with no consent action, as a first-time visitor sees it
Consent DeniedRejects consent on the banner, then observes
GPC EnabledSends a Global Privacy Control signal
Opt-Out UsedFinds and uses the site's US opt-out control instead of a consent banner, then observes. Run only for projects using the US opt-out rubric; the tab is hidden otherwise

Consent Denied, GPC Enabled and Opt-Out Used should not introduce trackers or new cookies. A red dot on a tab means a tracker fired in that visit.

Each tab shows:

  • The visit's screenshot. Click it to open full size.
  • Third-party requests, one row per host and vendor, with the number of requests and a type:
TypeMeaning
TrackerA marketing or analytics request. Red in the post-consent tabs
Consent Mode pingA Google request sent with ad and analytics consent denied (or, on US opt-out scans, with ads opted out). Not counted as a tracker
LibraryA vendor script being loaded, not data being sent
ConsentThe consent management platform
Tag ManagerA tag manager container
OtherAnything else
  • Cookies in this pass. Cookies that were not present in the previous visit are marked new.
  • Browser storage: local and session storage keys, with new keys marked the same way.

Requests to your own domain are left out unless they are trackers.
