# Introduction

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Note**: The Didomi compliance report is intended to be a guide for your organization that should be used in consultation with your DPO and legal team. It is not to be considered as a substitute for legal advice. 
{% endhint %}

The Didomi compliance report is a tool that enables your organization to receive a **GDPR compliance evaluation** of a given domain from a Didomi perspective. Leveraging our extensive knowledge of the privacy and compliance space, Didomi will furnish your organization with a Didomi rating and recommendations on how to increase your rating for the domain.

In this article, we provide a brief overview of the methodology Didomi utilizes to generate a compliance report for any given domain.

* [Bot navigation](#bot-navigation)
* [Data analysis](#data-analysis)
* [Generate compliance report](#generate-compliance-report)

{% hint style="info" %}
For more detailed compliance findings, please consider the Didomi [Advanced Compliance Monitoring module](/advanced-compliance-monitoring-acm/introduction.md). Contact your organization's account manager for more information.

### Bot navigation

The Didomi bot will visit the configured domains to perform a *scraping session* in accordance with the configured parameters for each configured domain. By default, our bot will automatically run a scraping session for each domain once a month. 

{% hint style="info" %}
Your organization can also manually initiate a scraping session by the Didomi bot for a given domain. [Click here](/compliance-report/compliance-report-domains/request-compliance-report.md) for more information.
{% endhint %}

During the scraping session, the Didomi bot will collect information about the trackers dropped and vendors triggered on the specific domain. The maximum number of pages scraped in a single session is 20 pages (this maximum has been identified by our team as a sufficient number of pages to gather conclusive data for the compliance report). 

### Data analysis

Once the Didomi bot has finished scrapping a domain, Didomi will analyze the collected data and convert the information into a human-readable format. By analyzing the dropped trackers and triggered vendors, Didomi will calculate any potential compliance issues (in regards to GDPR) that maybe present on the domain. 

<table data-header-hidden><thead><tr><th width="214.7000732421875"></th><th></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Trackers</td><td>In addition to tracker information recorded, Didomi will also categorize the trackers into three distinct groups (cookies, pixels or local storage) and parse first-party trackers from third-party trackers. </td></tr><tr><td>Vendors</td><td>Didomi evaluates each vendor triggered on the domain.</td></tr></tbody></table>

### Generate compliance report

The analyzed data will be used to generate a compliance report for the domain after Didomi performes the following steps:

* Data aggregation
* Mapping of trackers to initiators
* Calculation of number of requests to/from each vendor
* Computation of recommendations&#x20;
* Calculation of Didomi rating
