## Research

- [ConsentStack Research](https://www.consentstack.io/research): Original privacy and consent research built on our proprietary compliance-scanner corpus
- [The State of Cookie Compliance](https://www.consentstack.io/research/state-of-cookie-compliance): We scanned 229 live websites whose owners ran our free compliance scanner, tested as an EU visitor. 67% had no consent banner, almost none were fully clean, and among banner sites where Reject was clickable, 44% kept a tracker firing afterward. Behavioral study with methodology and limitations.
- [Can You Trust a Free Cookie Scanner?](https://www.consentstack.io/research/cookie-scanner-reliability): We ran 11 free cookie scanners against a test site built to leak and against our own site, ran every one twice, and logged where they scan from. Then we turned our own scanner on the 12 CMP vendors' websites. Three changed their answer within the hour, none disclosed their scan location, and none caught the tracker that kept firing after Reject. Behavioral study with methodology and limitations.
- [Cookie Compliance by Consent Tool](https://www.consentstack.io/research/cookie-compliance-by-cmp): We scanned 912 live sites running the four most common consent tools (Cookiebot, OneTrust, Ketch, CookieYes), as configured. Across all four, 91% fired a tracker before the visitor answered the banner, and 24% of the sites where Reject was clickable kept one firing afterward. Reported pooled across tools, not ranked. Behavioral study with methodology and limitations.
