OsanoBot

OsanoBot is the dedicated crawler for Osano, Inc., designed to assist organizations in maintaining data privacy compliance. Unlike general-purpose crawlers, it does not index the open web; instead, it operates strictly within the scope of customer-configured monitoring schedules. By simulating user interactions, it validates that consent management platforms are functioning correctly and that privacy signals, such as Global Privacy Control, are being honored as intended by the site owner.

The bot crawls specific websites to provide site administrators with actionable data regarding their privacy posture. It inspects cookie placement, tracker activity, and the technical implementation of consent banners to ensure they meet regulatory requirements. Because its activity is customer-directed, Osano provides robust cryptographic verification methods, including Ed25519-signed headers, allowing site owners to distinguish legitimate compliance audits from unauthorized traffic.
