# Web Auditor Scan Overview (/docs/web-auditor/web-auditor-scan-overview)

## Overview [#overview]

Transcend's Web Auditor operates as a real user on your website. It uses a real web browser, records session data, and analyzes this data for compliance issues.

## Scan Details [#scan-details]

Each Web Auditor scan utilizes an actual browser to visit your website and collect information.

These are some crucial points regarding how we conduct each scan:

- The scan is carried out from a data center in either the US (California) or the EU (Ireland)
- A headless Chromium browser is used
- We can imitate a user opting out of tracking by activating GPC and DNT signals in the browser.

For scans with different configurations, please contact your account manager.
