Websites change constantly — marketing adds a tag, a vendor updates a script, a third party introduces a new cookie. Scheduled scans keep your cookie inventory current without manual effort.
Scheduled scans card with frequency and notification settings

Configuring a schedule

Schedules are configured from the Scheduled scans card in the dashboard (on the Detected Cookies view).
1

Daily, weekly, or monthly, per site URL. Weekly is a good default for most marketing sites.
2

Set the notification email (optional)

Enter an email address to receive scan results and change alerts. Leave blank to skip notifications.
3

Enable the schedule

Toggle the schedule on. You can disable it at any time without losing the configuration.

​
Diff detection

Every scheduled scan is compared with the previous scan for the same site. TruePrivacy computes the difference and reports:
  • New trackers — cookies, scripts, or pixels seen for the first time.
  • Removed trackers — artifacts present last scan that no longer appear.
The diff appears on the scan record in the dashboard, so you can see exactly what changed and when.

​
Email alerts

When a scheduled scan detects new trackers, TruePrivacy sends an alert to the configured notification email summarizing what appeared, on which pages, and its suggested category.
Route alerts to your privacy team’s shared inbox. A new unclassified tracker usually means someone added a tag that needs a consent category before your next audit.
Manual category assignments carry forward across scheduled scans, so recurring scans never undo your classification work. See Running Scans.

API access

Schedules can also be managed programmatically via GET /v1/tracker-scanner/schedule and PUT /v1/tracker-scanner/schedule. See the API reference.
