Scanning Limitations and Best Practices
What scans cannot guarantee and how to get cleaner results.
Last updated 2026-10-31
Limitations
- Dynamic apps, geo-specific content, and bot defenses can change what a scan sees.
- Third parties may ignore consent signals even when your banner records a choice.
- Quick depth never proves reject/accept/withdraw behavior.
Best practices
- Verify DNS before Standard/Deep.
- Keep Domain Rules updated after major tag changes.
- Force a new scan after publishing consent or tag changes.
- Re-read Consent Verification after CMP changes.
- Document remediation outside Nektur when engineering work happens in other systems.
