## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Cookie & Tracker Scanner — GDPR Privacy Audit

Scanne n'importe quelle liste d'URLs pour détecter les **cookies posés par le serveur** et les **technologies de tracking tierces** (Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, Hotjar, pixels publicitaires, CMP…). Sortie orientée **audit RGPD / ePrivacy**.

Idéal pour : DPO et juristes qui auditent la conformité, agences qui contrôlent leurs clients, veille sur les trackers d'un concurrent.

**Exemple de résultat :**

```json
{
    "url": "https://example.com/",
    "trackerCount": 3,
    "trackers": [
        { "name": "Google Analytics / GTM", "category": "analytics" },
        { "name": "Meta Pixel", "category": "advertising" },
        { "name": "OneTrust (CMP)", "category": "consent" }
    ],
    "trackerCategories": ["analytics", "advertising", "consent"],
    "hasAdvertisingTrackers": true,
    "hasConsentManager": true,
    "cookieCount": 2,
    "cookies": [ { "name": "session", "secure": true, "httpOnly": true, "sameSite": "Lax" } ],
    "thirdPartyDomainCount": 5,
    "scrapedAt": "2026-07-10T10:30:00.000Z"
}
```

### Comment l'utiliser

1. Collez vos **URLs**
2. Cliquez sur **Start**

### Combien ça coûte ?

| Événement | Prix |
|---|---|
| Démarrage du run | 0,01 $ |
| Par URL scannée | 0,001 $ |

**Exemple : 500 URLs ≈ 0,51 $.**

### Champs retournés

`url`, `cookieCount`, `cookies` (nom + flags secure/httpOnly/sameSite), `trackerCount`, `trackers`, `trackerCategories`, `hasAdvertisingTrackers`, `hasConsentManager`, `thirdPartyDomainCount`, `thirdPartyDomains`, `scrapedAt`.

### Limitations (importantes)

- Détecte les **cookies posés par le serveur** (en-tête Set-Cookie) et les **trackers présents dans le HTML initial**. Les cookies et trackers injectés uniquement par JavaScript après consentement ne sont pas exécutés (scan statique) — cela reflète l'état « avant interaction », utile pour repérer les trackers chargés sans consentement préalable.
- La liste de trackers couvre les acteurs majeurs (Google, Meta, Hotjar, LinkedIn, TikTok…) ; un tracker de niche peut ne pas être identifié nommément mais apparaîtra dans `thirdPartyDomains`.

### FAQ

**Est-ce un avis juridique ?** Non, c'est un outil de détection technique. L'interprétation RGPD reste de votre responsabilité.

**Puis-je l'utiliser via API ?** Oui, appelable par API et via MCP.

# Actor input Schema

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

Pages à scanner pour cookies et trackers (analyse RGPD).

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

L'Actor s'arrête (et arrête de facturer) une fois ce nombre atteint.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Configuration proxy. Le proxy Apify par défaut convient dans la plupart des cas.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    "https://www.apify.com"
  ],
  "maxResults": 1000,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  }
}
```

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "startUrls": [
        "https://www.apify.com"
    ],
    "maxResults": 1000,
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": true
    }
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("q_services/cookie-tracker-scanner").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {
    "startUrls": ["https://www.apify.com"],
    "maxResults": 1000,
    "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": True },
}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("q_services/cookie-tracker-scanner").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print("💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/" + run["defaultDatasetId"])
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)
