About
We built the compliance tool we wish someone had handed us.
UserGuard handles cookie consent and web accessibility for site owners and the agencies who look after their sites. You add one script, and you get evidence you can check and a record you can hand to anyone who asks.
What UserGuard is
We scan your site, hold tags until visitors choose, log every choice, and draft your policies from what we find.
You add one script tag. We scan the site and check each cookie against evidence we can point to. Non-essential tags wait until a visitor decides, and we record that decision against the exact banner version they saw. We then generate your cookie policy and accessibility statement from that inventory, so they don’t start from a template.
Being able to trace things back is what you’re paying for. Most compliance tools give you a confident document that nobody can follow back to anything they observed, and that document fails the first time someone questions it. We work the other way around: we collect the evidence first, then build the paperwork from it.
How we work
Four things we won’t budge on.
A cookie needs evidence
We only list something as a cookie when we have evidence for it: a Set-Cookie header, an HTTP-only record, or a document.cookie value. Scripts, pixels, iframes and storage keys are disclosed in their own section, and we don’t call them cookies because they aren’t.
We don’t build dark patterns
Accept all and reject optional look the same, with the same accent color, size and weight, and neither is pre-selected when the banner opens. The preference center has its own one-click reject all. We won’t build a nag loop, a pre-ticked box or a hidden reject, because consent gathered that way isn’t worth recording and is worthless as evidence.
We don’t sell compliance
No tool makes you compliant on its own, and the configuration stays yours. We supply the tooling and the evidence, and the judgment calls stay with you and your counsel. Our own accessibility statement says the same thing about our own site, including where it falls short.
The price doesn’t change with what we find
It’s ten dollars a site a month, whatever your traffic and whatever the scan finds, and volume discounts apply automatically. If we charged per cookie or per visitor, we’d have a reason to over-report and you’d have a reason not to look.
Every managed site gets the whole workflow: scanning, the banner, the consent log, generated documents and the accessibility widget. We don’t hold back anything about consent behavior for a higher tier, and geo-targeting and Global Privacy Control are never paywalled. If you have questions about any of it, write to hello@userguard.io and the people who build it will answer.
