## Allowing Openli's cookie-scanner to access your website

By default, Cloudflare protects your website against automated scans. We are in the process of becoming listed as a known "good bot" with Cloudflare. Until they have completed that process, you might need to add a bypass rule to your Cloudflare account, to prevent their service from blocking our cookie-scanner.

To explicitly allow Openli's cookie-scanner to access your website, you should:

1. Log in to your Cloudflare account
2. Select your website, if multiple websites are shown
3. Click the **Firewall** menu-item
4. Click the **Firewall Rules** tab
5. Click the **Create a Firewall Rule** button
6. Name the new rule, for example "Allow Openli cookie-scanner"
7. In the "*When incoming requests match...*" section:
   1. set **Field** to **User Agent**
   2. set **Operator** to **contains**
   3. in **Value**, type **LegalMonster** (exactly as written here; no quotes, no spaces, and capital L and M)
8. In the "*Then...*" section:
   1. set **Choose an action** to **Bypass**
   2. set **Choose a feature** to **Browser Integrity Check**
9. Click the **Save** button

Our cookie-scanner should now be able to scan your site. You can see an screenshot of a correctly configured rule here:
