CConsentProbe GPC Checker
See if your browser sends Global Privacy Control (Sec-GPC: 1). Free.
About this tool
ConsentProbe GPC Checker is a free web tool that helps you verify if your browser is correctly sending the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. It checks two key indicators: whether the `Sec-GPC: 1` header is present in your browser's requests and what the `navigator.globalPrivacyControl` JavaScript value reports.
This tool is useful for individuals who have enabled GPC through their browser settings or extensions and want to confirm that the signal is actively being transmitted. It helps troubleshoot and ensure your privacy preferences are being communicated to websites before you interact with them. It's important to note that ConsentProbe GPC Checker confirms the signal is sent from your browser; it does not test whether a website actually honors or respects the GPC signal.
Best for: Users who want to confirm their browser is sending the Global Privacy Control signal.
