How this this work? Wouldn't the same site origin prevent it from reading cookies from other sites? I even have third party cookies disabled but it can still find a lot of cookies from other sites.

I'm guessing something like PhantomJS (other versions of QTWebKit are available) on the server - some of the samples that comes with it shows how to capture all the requests resulting from loading a URL.

[bartkappenburg → Too]

We use a server-side solution to mimic a browser (which accepts all cookies, even JS and flash) and parse the results back to our tool.

If you could classify the cookies and 3rd part requests into the different functionality groups, then you'd really have a tool. That said, 3rd party cookies are usually evil.

I loaded the page, the #1 site in "Most cookies" is ours... uh oh. Actually, the top 3 sites listed are ours. Advertisers love cookies!

The site doesn't appear to load any sites for me.

I keep getting "Error: Something went wrong. Please try again."

yep, sorry. We had some scaling issues after being mentioned om HN. Fixed!
