    5. Scroll down and click Save Changes.
    6. Publish your website.

Scanning

Cookiebot will start scanning your website. As soon as the scan is complete, you will receive an email with a detailed report. Depending on your website size, this process can take up to 24 hours. You can also check the scan status under the Reports tab.

Once you have received the report, you can go to the Cookies tab and review the list of cookies found on your website.

Unclassified cookies

If you find synthasiteVisitorId and synthasiteVisitId cookies in the Unclassified category, you can manually specify their Category and Cookie purpose description as follows:

  • synthasiteVisitorId
    • Category: Statistics
    • Cookie purpose description: Registers a unique ID to keep statistics of a website visitor’s behavior.
  • synthasiteVisitId
    • Category: Statistics
    • Cookie purpose description: Registers a unique ID to keep statistics throughout a website visitor’s session.

Click Save to apply the changes and make them appear on your website.
