Authenticated pages sit behind a login or paywall by design, but that separation creates a gap in consent compliance auditing. The tag and cookie behavior on a member portal, a customer account page, or a paywalled content section is just as subject to consent policy as any publicly accessible page. However, to validate consent is being honored on them is a challenge.
The challenge with today’s tools
Without credentials, a standard scan stops at the login screen. Solutions that get around this tend to require scripted authentication flows, complex rule configuration, or developer involvement to build and maintain. When login flows change as teams iterate on UX, those custom setups break and the fix goes back into a development queue. This causes either stale audit coverage or an ongoing dependency on technical resources to keep consent auditing current.
Audit Authenticated Sites
Tag Inspector’s Macro Recorder lets teams record a login sequence directly in the browser. Hit record, complete the login with the credentials to be used for auditing, and save the macro. When configuring a site in Tag Inspector, upload the saved macro in the Advanced Settings, and Tag Inspector handles the rest, replaying the recorded login sequence automatically during each scan.
The entire setup happens in the browser without scripting or rule configuration. When login flows change, teams re-record and replace the macro rather than involving a developer.
What this opens up
Any team managing sites with gated content, member portals, or paywalled experiences now has a direct path to extend consent compliance coverage into those areas. Privacy and compliance teams can own the setup without routing work through development, and updating authentication when login flows change takes minutes rather than a ticket.
Authentication recording is available now to all Tag Inspector uses. Reach out to your InfoTrust team for more details.
