@sasdts we would need a domain name to check. You can write it here, or email it to wpsupport@cybot.com.
@staceppa Did you get your answer from our reseller @martinivanov ?
I’ll go ahead and mark this as resolved for now.
Hi @@kees-v
Usually the links in the banner are not indexed by Google.
Your duplicated pages should not have anything to do with Cookiebot.
In continuation of @martingeorgiev’s answer: If the cookie set by qtranslateX is a necessary cookie, you can categorize it as such, which means you don’t have to tag it up.
Hi @anonymized-15502524,
We did check your site, and already told you that you are good to go.
As you know, you have to tag up the recaptcha with data-cookieconsent=”preference” or similar, in order for us to prevent it from setting cookies.
What seems to be the issue?
We inform about it in the mail you receive, when being upgraded to free trial, including links to different knowledge-base articles.
Since you have missed it, we will consider how we can make it more clear.
Thanks for your input.
We have not changed our scan policy recently. Let us try to clarify about the number of subpages identified:
If you are on a free subscription, up to 100 pages are being scanned.
If you have been moved to a free 1-month trial because your domain had more than the allowed 100 subpages, then the scan report and the cookies identified will be based on (up to) ~200 pages. This is the number of pages that the scanner analyzed when it determined that your site had more than 100 pages. If you have more than 200 pages on your website and would like a full scan of your entire website, then you should upgrade to a premium subscription.
If you would like to know how many subpages your domain has, you can order a free quote from https://www.cookiebot.com/goto/quote-input/. Attached to this quote is an URL list of up to 5,000 URLs identified in order to determine the subscription size and price.
So, if you have ordered a price quote (or a compliance test from the front page of http://www.cookiebot.com where you have requested a price quote to be included in the report) then the URL list will show the total number of subpages identified on your domain (up to 5,000).
On the 25th may we scanned 201 pages on your website, because you were on a free-trial.
On the 18th june you requested a compliance scan including a quote. Because you included a quote, you got a full scan of your site.
On the first scan, the “unknown” links were available, and a part of the 201 pages we scanned.
On the second scan, the “unknown” links were no longer availabe, however we did a full scan this time, where we found all other pages.
We hope it is clear now that this is not caused by an immature product/scanner. Also, we have updated this article to try and make it even more clear for our users:
As you see, when we check your site today, those unknown URLs are not available.
When we checked the first time, there were X number of them available, and when we checked the second time, there were Y number of them available.
This means that something is going on dynamically on your backend.
Either linkexchangefree is adding random URLs in random intervals, or you did something to stop it from doing so, after we found the “backlink pages”.
What is probably going on, is that linkexchangefree is generating backlinks to other websites from your site, and the same is most likely happening the other way around. This may occour when linkexchangefree detects that your website is being crawled.
I’ve checked your tickets, and the “unknown links” you are referring to.
It is true that those URLs do not exist on your webpage at the moment, however they were active at the time of our scan, and did return a 200 OK status code, otherwise we would not have included them.
By inspecting your website, I noticed you have a hidden container, referring to something called linkexchangefree. This is probably for SEO link building.
<div style="display:none"> <a href="http://yourdomain/links/tl.php">Resources</a> - <a href="http://www.telalinks.com/" target="_blank">Free Link Exchange</a> <a href="http://www.linkexchangefree.com" title="Link Exchange Free">Link Exchange Free</a> :: <a href="http://yourdomain/links/ef.php" title="give one link take 10000+ link of your website on other website in less than 5 minutes">1000+ Links Free</a>I don’t know where you have this code from, but your use of linkexchangefree is generating these so-called unknown URLs.
Also, if you go to The Wayback Machine and enter one of those “unknown links”, you’ll see that they were once active, so Cookiebot did it’s job, and it did it well.

Unfortunately I did not receive anything on wpsupport@cybot.com from you. There is nothing in the spam folder either.
Although it may be hard to understand why such “dumb” pages are counted, they are publicly accessible, and can set different kinds of trackers, which is why they are in the page count.

Do remember to clear your cache first (in WP Rocket)
We have just made a new release with a fix to our WP Rocket integration.
Please get the latest release and verify if it works.
Hopefully this or next week.
If you are hardcore (:P), you can install the “addons” as a standalone project, until we merge them together in the Cookiebot plugin.
More info here: https://github.com/cybotas/cookiebotaddons/
Download this file and place the folder in your wp plugins folder:
https://github.com/CybotAS/CookiebotAddons/archive/develop.zip
Activate the plugin. Now, there should be a Cookiebot Addons plugin under the Settings menu of your WordPress. Here you can enable autocorrect of Youtube videos 🙂
