  • Patent number: 12250245
    Abstract: A cookie compliance management system enables automated evaluation of cookie compliance within an enterprise. The system determines whether a cookie set by an application in the environment is compliant with a policy. It comprises a workflow engine, a cookie discovery engine (CDE), a cookie characterization engine (CCE), a cookie policy engine (PE), and a cookie registry. The workflow engine receives a request to initiate an evaluation of an application for cookie compliance. The CDE is invoked and returns cookies that are set by the application. The CCE receives a set of base attributes associated with a cookie discovered by the CDE, and computes a set of descriptive attributes determined to be required to enable evaluation of the cookie according to a policy. The policy engine receives policy rules and the set of descriptive attributes and, in response, determines whether the cookie is compliant with the policy. The cookie registry stores cookie data.
