The Clym Pulse advantage

Understand your consent setup

Live signal detection

Inspect exactly which consent signals are being broadcast to ad tech, analytics, and global frameworks the moment you open the panel, no DevTools required.

Works with any CMP

Pulse inspects any page and detects whichever CMP is installed, reporting on the same underlying signals whether you're running Clym or another vendor entirely.

Clear diagnostics

Clearly identifies setup issues like missing widgets, incorrect load order, and stalled consent signals, without browser DevTools.

Live consent testing

Click accept, reject, or change preferences in your banner and watch services move between blocked and active as consent enforcement happens live.

Signals checked across every layer of your CMP setup

Checks whether the initial notification banner displays in native mode as configured
Clear red and green indicators highlight critical setup issues at a glance

Frequently asked questions

Pulse loads instantly when you click the icon. Most panels populate with widget, service, and framework data in under a second.

Pulse reads the actual signals a page transmits, script placement, consent framework strings, and Consent Mode values, directly from the browser. It reflects real technical behavior rather than a general assessment, and is not a substitute for legal review.

Pulse inspects IAB TCF, IAB GPP, Google Consent Mode v2, and Microsoft Consent Mode v2, along with Clym-specific widget health, auto-blocking mode, and processing categories.

DevTools shows raw network and console data that takes real expertise to interpret. Pulse organizes the same underlying signals into a clear, structured panel technical and non-technical stakeholders can read at a glance.

No. Pulse detects whichever CMP is installed and reports on universal signals like IAB TCF and GPP. Clym sites additionally get detail on widget health and processing categories.

Check after any CMP rollout, vendor switch, or tag configuration change, and periodically afterward, since implementations can break quietly without a visible error.

Yes, Clym Pulse is completely free. Install it from the Chrome Web Store and use it on as many sites as you like, no account required.

No. Pulse performs its analysis locally in your browser. The pages you visit and the scripts you inspect are not sent to Clym or any third party.

Yes. Pulse works on any website you open, making it useful for agency audits, vendor due diligence, and pre-kickoff reviews without extra tooling.

No. Pulse only reads signals already present on the page, the way a normal visitor's browser would. It does not modify the site or affect its performance for other users.

Clym Pulse is a technical tool that helps you understand and document how a website's CMP behaves. It does not provide legal advice, and results should not be treated as a guarantee of compliance. For interpretation of your specific obligations, consult qualified counsel.
