Cookiebot

Identifies and controls cookies and trackers, displays consent banners, and stores audit records to support compliance with GDPR, UK-GDPR, and CCPA/CPRA. It also preserves analytics measurement through integration with Google Consent Mode v2.

Cookiebot automatically scans your website, identifies cookies and trackers, and blocks non-essential scripts until consent is provided. It includes customisable banners, geo-targeting, and detailed consent logs for compliance reporting. With built-in support for Google Consent Mode v2, analytics and conversion modelling remain accurate even when users decline certain cookies. Regular reports and automatic cookie declarations help keep policies up to date, reducing the effort required for ongoing compliance.

Adding Cookiebot to your site is straightforward. You can insert a single script, deploy through Google Tag Manager, or use the WordPress or Umbraco plugin. It supports granular category controls for complex setups and offers complete interface customisation, including layout, colours, text, and behaviour. Features such as multi-language support, geolocation rules, and accessibility are included by default. Developers can also use APIs, run on-demand scans, and fine-tune banner design to improve consent rates without affecting site performance.

In Europe, GDPR, UK‑GDPR, and the ePrivacy Directive require websites to obtain explicit, informed consent before setting non-essential cookies. Businesses must clearly explain the purpose of each cookie, provide an easy way to withdraw consent, and maintain verifiable records. These rules apply even if your organisation operates outside the EU or UK but serves users in those regions. Cookiebot simplifies compliance by detecting trackers, blocking them until consent is granted, storing consent states, and updating cookie declarations as your site evolves.

For businesses using Google tags in the EEA and UK, Google Consent Mode v2 is essential. It ensures user consent choices are respected while maintaining key features such as conversion modelling and audience building. Without proper implementation, organisations risk losing remarketing capabilities and accurate reporting. Cookiebot integrates seamlessly with Consent Mode v2, updating consent signals in real time and validating configurations so marketers can maintain measurement continuity without compromising privacy compliance.

In North America, privacy regulations are becoming increasingly complex. In the US, laws such as CCPA and CPRA require transparency and opt-out options for data sharing, while Canada’s PIPEDA and Quebec’s Law 25 demand meaningful consent and stricter privacy defaults. Non-compliance can result in fines and reputational damage. Cookiebot helps businesses meet these requirements with region-specific banners, Global Privacy Control support, and granular opt-in and opt-out settings, ensuring user experiences align with local regulations.
