Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability cookie-banner-cmp-signals-checker-germany-dsgvo-dc1e2da6 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Check this German website for cookie banner signals — I need to know which CMP it uses (Usercentrics, Cookiebot, etc.), what consent buttons are present, and whether it shows any DSGVO/ePrivacy compliance indicators: https://example.de

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need fast, cheap heuristic detection of cookie consent infrastructure on German/DACH websites — specifically to identify CMP vendor, consent button text, and ePrivacy signals. Prefer this over a full DSGVO audit tool when you only need observable cookie banner signals without legal interpretation. Complements the sibling dsgvo-site-signals endpoint which covers broader privacy-page and tracker signals.

## Known failure modes

- URL is not publicly accessible or returns non-200 status
- Page has no detectable cookie banner or CMP (returns empty/null signals)
- CMP is loaded via JavaScript after page render and cannot be statically detected
- HTML input is malformed or too large
- Unknown or custom CMP not in the heuristic vendor list
- Page is geo-blocked and not accessible from the checker's server

## How this service works

Heuristic cookie banner / CMP signals Germany (vendors, cookie text, consent buttons). Accepts URL or HTML-in. Complements dsgvo-site-signals. Keywords: cookie banner germany, consent, cmp, eprivacy, dsgvo, usercentrics, cookiebot. Not a legal audit.

## Output

Returns heuristic signals about cookie banner presence, detected CMP vendor (e.g. Usercentrics, Cookiebot, OneTrust), consent button labels, cookie category names, and ePrivacy/DSGVO-related text found on the page. Not a legal audit — provides observable technical signals only.
