Cookiebot Consent Management Platform (CMP) Overview

Overview

Cookiebot Consent Management Platform (CMP) helps businesses achieve compliance with global data privacy regulations through automation, transparency, and ease of use. Backed by Usercentrics, Cookiebot provides a scalable solution for GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, and other privacy laws by combining advanced cookie scanning technology, customizable consent banners, and secure consent logging.

Whether you manage a single website or multiple properties across different regions, Cookiebot automates the complex process of detecting cookies, categorizing trackers, and collecting valid consent from users, all while preserving site performance and user trust.

Platform Overview:

Businesses can get started by signing up for a free account, selecting a pre-built consent banner, and pasting the generated script into their site header. For most platforms, including WordPress and Wix, Cookiebot also provides native plugins and apps for even easier integration.

Banners can be quickly customized to match branding and site design. Merchants may choose from pre-built templates or apply their own layouts, colors, and messaging. This flexibility ensures that the banner feels native to the website experience while providing users with clear, compliant information about cookie usage.

Features:

  • Automated Cookie Scanning and Compliance: These scans ensure that businesses always have a current and accurate picture of the data collection occurring on their sites. Updates happen automatically, minimizing the internal resources needed to stay compliant across jurisdictions. For businesses operating internationally, Cookiebot adapts banners and consent flows to meet country-specific and state-level requirements.
  • Secure Consent Logging and Reporting: Cookiebot securely stores user consent data and logs for 12 months, providing businesses with the audit trail they need to meet regulatory obligations. Through the platform’s reporting and dashboard tools, businesses can easily monitor consent activity, review logs, and export data to demonstrate compliance during audits or user access requests.
  • Improving User Experience and Transparency: A major strength of Cookiebot is its focus on building user trust. The platform provides visitors with granular consent options so they can control which categories of cookies they allow. This approach avoids “all or nothing” consent models and ensures compliance with privacy requirements for freely given, specific, and informed consent. By giving users transparency and choice, businesses create a more trustworthy experience while meeting legal obligations. Banners and preference centers can be customized to align with brand identity, further enhancing user confidence.

Platform Integrations:

Cookiebot integrates directly with popular website platforms:

  • WordPress: A fully integrated Cookiebot plugin simplifies setup and management directly within the WordPress environment.
  • Wix: The Cookiebot app for Wix, available in the Wix App Market, enables easy consent management for Wix-based websites.

These integrations streamline deployment for businesses of all sizes while ensuring that privacy compliance doesn’t require complex technical expertise.
