Introduction
Note: The Didomi tracker and vendor discovery 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.
The Didomi tracker and vendor discovery 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 tracker and vendor discovery for any given domain.
For more detailed compliance findings, please consider the Didomi Advanced Compliance Monitoring module. 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 domain. During the scraping session, the Didomi bot will collect information about the trackers dropped and vendors triggered on the specific domain.

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 may be present on the domain.
Trackers
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.
Vendors
Didomi evaluates each vendor triggered on the domain.

The analyzed data will be used to generate a tracker and vendor discovery for the domain after Didomi performs the following steps:
Data aggregation
Mapping of trackers to initiators
Calculation of number of requests to/from each vendor
Computation of recommendations
