- Missing security headers(medium priority security issue)
Why it matters: Security headers harden the site against clickjacking, XSS, and data leakage. Without them browsers cannot enforce modern protections.
Recommended action: Set the recommended HTTP response headers (CSP, HSTS, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options) at the proxy or application layer.

- 14 third-party domains contacted(medium priority tracking concern)
Why it matters: Each third-party call shares visitor metadata (IP, user agent) with outside companies, which can be used for profiling.
Recommended action: Audit external requests and remove unused libraries. Where possible, self-host critical assets or route via privacy-preserving CDNs.

📖How to interpret this report
Gecko Advisor analyzes publicly observable signals to assess website privacy practices. Our automated scanner checks for tracking scripts, third-party connections, cookies, and security configuration. This analysis represents a snapshot of the website at the time of our scan.
Privacy scores are relative measures based on detected signals. A higher score suggests fewer observable privacy concerns, but does not guarantee the website's privacy policy or data handling practices. We recommend reviewing the website's privacy policy for complete information about how your data may be collected and used.
