Cookiebot
Automatically scan, categorise, and manage website cookies with a GDPR and CCPA-compliant consent banner — no manual configuration, with continuous re-scanning.
European security & identity alternative based in Denmark.
Cookiebot is a Danish automated cookie consent management platform (CMP) that crawls your website to find all cookies and tracking technologies, categorises them automatically, and serves a GDPR-compliant consent banner to visitors. Unlike manually configured banners, Cookiebot re-scans your site on a regular schedule to catch new cookies added by third-party scripts — keeping compliance current without ongoing developer effort.
The consent banner integrates via a single script tag and communicates with the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework (TCF) used by advertising networks. Auto-blocking holds all non-essential cookies until explicit consent is given, and a full consent log is maintained for regulatory audit purposes. Cookiebot is now part of Usercentrics, Europe's leading CMP provider.
Key benefits:
- Automatic cookie scanning — detects all cookies across every page, no manual list needed
- GDPR and CCPA compliant consent banner with support for 40+ languages
- TCF integration for automatic consent signalling to advertising and ad-tech networks
- Auto-blocking of all non-essential cookies before visitor consent is obtained
- Consent log maintained for regulatory audit and data subject access requests
- Regular re-scanning to catch new cookies added by CMS plugins or tag managers
- Google Consent Mode certified CMP partner for compliant Google Analytics and Ads
Cookiebot was developed in Copenhagen, Denmark and is now part of Usercentrics GmbH, a Munich-based company — both EU entities fully subject to GDPR. All consent data is processed on EU-based infrastructure with no transfer to U.S. servers. It is certified as a Google Consent Mode partner and one of the most widely adopted CMPs in Europe.
Trusted by 3 million+ websites across 200+ countries — the default choice for EU businesses that need automated, auditable cookie compliance.
