Cookiebot – CMP Platform for cookie consent management

Introduction

Privacy and personal data regulations are becoming increasingly important for businesses operating online. One of the most visible consequences is the cookie consent banner users encounter when visiting websites. DataDise uses Cookiebot as its Consent Management Platform (CMP). Solutions of this type help website owners collect and manage visitor consent while supporting compliance with regulations such as GDPR and CCPA. Cookiebot provides an automated way to identify cookies and tracking technologies, present users with appropriate consent choices and manage those preferences across the website.

Cookiebot main features

Cookiebot provides several key capabilities:
  • Automatic scanning of websites for cookies and tracking technologies.
  • Configurable cookie consent banners.
  • Integrations with popular CMS platforms and other technologies.
  • Reporting and analytics related to user consent.
  • Tools supporting compliance with privacy regulations.
  • Integration with Google’s Consent Mode ecosystem.

Cookiebot benefits

Implementing a CMP such as Cookiebot can simplify the process of meeting privacy requirements across different markets. It can also improve transparency by clearly communicating what kinds of tracking technologies are being used and allowing visitors to decide which categories they accept. Automating cookie detection and consent management additionally reduces the amount of manual work required from website administrators. Cookiebot was also positioned as a solution supporting Google’s Consent Mode v2 requirements introduced in 2024.

How Cookiebot works

Cookiebot scans a website and identifies cookies and tracking scripts that are present. Visitors are then shown a consent banner where they can choose which categories of cookies they want to allow. Their preferences are recorded and used to control how relevant tracking technologies operate on the website. This allows companies to centralize consent management instead of handling individual tracking scripts and consent mechanisms separately.

Cookiebot pricing

Cookiebot offers different pricing tiers depending primarily on the size and requirements of the website. Smaller websites can use a limited free option, while paid plans provide functionality intended for larger or more complex websites. Premium plans may include additional capabilities such as greater banner customization and more advanced consent-management functionality.

Use cases

Cookie consent management is particularly relevant for websites that personalize content or advertising based on visitor data. It is also important for websites using analytics platforms such as Google Analytics, where visitor information may be processed for measurement and behavioral analysis. E-commerce businesses can use CMP solutions to manage consent connected with technologies used to analyze shopping behavior and optimize online stores. The same applies to websites embedding third-party social media components or other external services capable of collecting visitor information. In these scenarios, a consent-management platform helps organize the consent process and support compliance with applicable privacy requirements.
