When I scanned my site, the list of cookies that are found includes many cookies that Firefox does not show. Many of those I cannot explain, e.g. several AddThis.com cookies but I am not using that.

Hi @franciscus,

We checked the site via our scanner service but couldn’t replicate the issue. Kindly try scanning one more time.

I tried again and I am still getting lots of unexpected cookies, including the ones referring to Addthis.com.
Also, why is cookielawinfo-checkbox-functional categorized as “Others” instead of “Necessary”?

Hi @franciscus,

Please share a screenshot of your scan result or you download it as CSV and share via this link.

As for the cookielawinfo-checkbox-functional cookie, it should be Necessary. You may please change it. We will check the scanner and fix it ASAP.

Hi @franciscus,

We checked the site and we could see those cookies set via the ads in the site. Please see the screenshot.
