External services
ClearOpt Cloud
ClearOpt can optionally connect to ClearOpt Cloud to provide manual website cookie scanning.
ClearOpt Cloud is not contacted unless a site administrator explicitly chooses to connect the WordPress site using the “Connect to ClearOpt Cloud” button.
cloud. ClearOpt Cloud returns a site-specific authentication credential that is stored in the WordPress database and used for authenticated communication with the service.
When a site administrator manually selects “Scan Site”, ClearOpt Cloud uses the previously registered homepage URL to perform a browser-based scan of that public homepage. The scan may record cookies observed during the scan, including cookie names, domains, paths, security attributes, SameSite settings, expiration information, the total number of cookies found, and the time of the scan.
Scans are initiated manually by the site administrator. The free ClearOpt plugin does not automatically or periodically scan the website.
Disconnecting the site revokes the site’s ClearOpt Cloud authentication credential and removes the locally stored connection and scan-status information from WordPress.
ClearOpt Cloud is provided by ClearOpt.
