# Test Your App for Cookie Consent Compliance

It's extremely important to ensure that your app complies with each site's cookie consent policy. To comply, you must ensure that your app doesn't initiate any operations before confirming the visitor's consent (referred to as "block pre-consent loading").

You can test this on your own, or use the free service provided by Usercentrics using the [Usercentrics for Wix](https://www.wix.com/app-market/cookiebot-for-wix) app.

Wix highly recommends testing all flows regularly to ensure compliance.

## Check for pre-consent loading with the Usercentrics for Wix app

The Usercentrics for Wix app helps you identify apps with components that load before obtaining consent. 

1. Request a coupon for the Usercentrics for Wix app from Wix's [dev care support](https://www.wix.com/support-chatbot?nodeId=25a57397-ccf7-4376-8b74-48d51edf7159&referral=devRels).
2. On a published site, install the app that you want to test along with the Usercentrics for Wix app. If you have a coupon, apply it. The site can't be a development site.
4. In the site dashboard, click **Apps > Usercentrics for Wix** to open the app.
5. Click **Website Scan**, and then initiate a scan. Scans take several minutes. Once complete, the **Website Scan** tab displays information for each detected component that uses cookies:
   - **Component**: The component's name.
   - **Type**: The component's type.
   - **Recommended category**: The cookie category the scan determined is most appropriate for this component.
   - **State**: Indicates whether the component requires your attention.
   
   You can click a component to see information. Note your components' **Recommended category** for the next step.
7. In the **Components** tab, each component has a **Category** label. This reflects the category defined by the app developer. Make sure that components from your app match the **Recommended category**.
8. Click **Legal Frameworks**, and then choose the framework settings you want to test.
9. To test that your components comply with visitors' accepted cookies, toggle **Show banner** on, and then visit the site from an incognito window. Select different combinations of cookies and verify that your app behaves properly for all combinations.

__Important:__
To comply with CCPA and similar regulations, your app must respects visitors' "Do Not Sell Data" opt-out choices. To make sure it does, [add a “Do Not Sell Data” link to your test site](https://support.wix.com/en/article/adding-a-do-not-sell-data-link-to-your-wix-site) and test out your app's behavior given visitors' choices.
