Run a lightweight, on-demand scan of your WordPress homepage for common cookie-banner, policy-link and tracking-script signals.

== Description ==
CookieBanner Check is a practical diagnostic tool for WordPress site owners. It scans the public HTML of the site homepage and looks for common signals associated with:

* cookie-consent platforms
* possible accept, reject and preference controls
* privacy and cookie-policy links
* common tracking scripts, including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Google Ads and Meta Pixel
* possible Google Consent Mode signals

The tool is deliberately cautious. It does not guarantee legal compliance, does not click consent controls, does not inspect browser storage, and does not confirm whether tags fire before consent.

== Privacy ==
The scan runs from the WordPress site against its own public homepage URL. The most recent scan result is stored locally in WordPress options. The plugin does not transmit data, visitor information or scan results to CookieBanner.co.uk or a third party.

== Installation ==
1. Upload the plugin ZIP through Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin.
2. Activate the plugin.
3. Open CookieBanner Check from the WordPress admin menu.
4. Select Run homepage scan.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does this make my website compliant? =
No. This plugin provides practical technical observations only. It is not legal advice or formal compliance certification.

= Does it detect every tracker? =
No. It uses common HTML and script-pattern checks. Dynamically loaded tools, tag-manager rules, cookies, browser storage and user-specific behaviour may not be detected.

= Does it send my data to an external service? =
No. Version 0.1.0 scans the site's own public homepage locally using WordPress HTTP requests and saves only the most recent result in the local WordPress database.

== Changelog ==

= 0.1.0 =
* First release: local homepage scanner with common CMP, consent-control, policy-link, tracker and Consent Mode signals.
