Cookiebot

The consent management platform (CMP) Cookiebot helps you manage your cookies and online tracking. Thanks to this handy tool, you don't have to create your own cookie banner, make sure the right events are forwarded and keep them up to date. This is automated and you comply with all regulations at the same time. Because if you do not comply with the AVG regulations, you risk a fine of up to 4% of your annual turnover! Good thing you can easily prevent this thanks to Cookiebot.

Company background

Cookiebot is one of the bigger names in privacy compliance. Meanwhile, more than 2 million websites and apps use the tool. Cookiebot has achieved Google Gold Tier CMP partner status for its success and usability.

What does the tool do?

Cookiebot stops all first and third party cookies from your website until visitors have given explicit permission for them. The tool asks if and which cookies may be placed and then does so. Visitors have the choice of which cookies are placed. Only the necessary (functional) cookies are required for your website to work. You get insight into which cookies are placed and thus chosen by visitors, such as marketing or analytical cookies.

What is the benefit to our customers?

This handy tool ensures that you don't have to worry about whether your website is GDPR-compliant. Cookiebot makes sure you are constantly up-to-date. Every month, the tool runs through your website to check what cookies and tracking methods you are currently using. These are categorized and stopped until visitors give their consent.

Do you want to be Google Consent Mode V2-proof? You may not collect just any data, but you want to collect valuable insights. Then a CMP is indispensable. Don't have a CMP or a good one? Then you may not be AVG-proof and you may lose important data within Google Analytics and Google Ads, but perhaps in the short term also within Meta or LinkedIn. Having a CMP has long been important, but now even more so!
