AesirX Features: Domain Categorization
DOMAIN CATEGORIZATION
Maps domains, cookies, and beacons into clear purpose-based tracking categories.
Domain Categorization analyzes real scan data, groups technologies by purpose, and adds block guidance so you can review tracking behavior quickly and apply correct consent rules.
Why Domain Categorization Matters
Working out what each domain or beacon does is one of the most tedious parts of consent setup. Teams must identify which plugin or script triggered it, decide whether it is Essential, Functional, Analytics, Advertising, or Custom, and judge if it should be blocked before consent. Doing this manually across spreadsheets or browser tools is slow, inconsistent, and often leaves hidden tracking activity undiscovered.
Domain Categorization uses real scan data from the AI Privacy Advisor to generate a draft breakdown for you. It lists domains and beacons by plugin, assigns each one to a purpose category, and adds a short explanation plus a “Should Block?” recommendation. The draft clearly highlights Analytics and Advertising domains that typically require consent under GDPR and ePrivacy Directive 5(3), while separating Functional or Custom items that may be treated differently.
You then review and adjust this draft so it matches your actual data practices. The result is a faster, more structured workflow that supports better consent logic across multiple sites without guessing.

How it works
Domain Categorization turns scan data into clear domain lists.
Analyses behavior
Categorizes and lists domains
Recommends blocking
Domain Categorization uses scan data from the AI Privacy Advisor to identify domains and beacons, group them by purpose, and organize them into plugin-based lists that help you review tracking behavior clearly.
Rescan whenever plugins or embeds change so domain roles and recommendations stay accurate.
Note that AI Auto-Blocking works for plugins and scripts loaded through WordPress’ standard architecture. Scripts hardcoded in theme files are not detected and must be added to blocking rules manually

People Also Ask
It creates a draft list of domains and beacons grouped by plugin, with purpose categories, explanations, and “Should Block?” guidance. The output uses real scan data from the AI Privacy Advisor so you can review tracking behavior clearly.
It highlights analytics and advertising domains that typically require consent and separates them from functional uses. This helps you understand which technologies activate only after consent without implying legal outcomes.
Not fully. It detects technologies injected through plugins or recognizable patterns. Items hardcoded into theme files or embedded directly in the page source need to be reviewed and managed manually, for example by moving them into window.funcAfterConsent.
No. It provides categorization and block recommendations. Blocking itself is handled by Consent Shield or AI Auto-Blocking. Domain Categorization acts as the structured input for those decisions.
Refresh the draft whenever plugins, embeds, or marketing tools change. New scans update the domain list, making the categorization reflect current site behavior.
