Secure Privacy's cookie and service blocking relies on your most recent scan results. Whenever you add new third-party services, update your website, or change your tracking configuration, triggering a **website rescan** ensures your blocking rules and cookie declaration stay accurate and current.

## Who Is This For?

-   Website administrators keeping their Secure Privacy scan report and cookie declaration up to date
    
-   Compliance teams verifying that cookie blocking reflects the latest services deployed on their site
    
-   Developers monitoring cookie and tracker detection after making changes to website scripts or tag configurations

## Frequently Asked Questions

### How often should I rescan my website?

Trigger a rescan whenever you make changes that could affect cookie or service detection — such as adding or removing third-party scripts, updating your tag manager configuration, installing new plugins, or changing marketing tools. A routine rescan at least quarterly is also recommended as part of ongoing compliance management.

### How long does a website rescan take?

Most rescans complete within a few minutes. The exact time depends on the size and complexity of your website — larger sites with many pages or third-party scripts may take slightly longer. You can check the Scan Report tab for the updated results once the scan is finished.

### Will the rescan update my cookie declaration automatically?

Yes. Once the rescan is complete, your cookie declaration is automatically updated to reflect the newly detected cookies and services — ensuring your published declaration stays accurate without needing to make manual edits.
