What Byscuit is
Byscuit is a web-based cookie management module from a Montreal company. It helps manage cookies and give visitors control over personal data across digital services, including sites connected to several business systems. Features include automatic blocking, consent records, IAB TCF support, and banners in two languages. The maker says it works with WordPress, custom CMSs, Craft, Joomla, Drupal, Shopify, and custom applications. Every plan includes a manual cookie scanner, hosting in Canada, and SOC 2 Type 1. The first five plans provide bilingual support, while Grizzly offers multilingual support on request. Support ranges from local basic assistance on the lower tiers to 24/7 support on Grizzly. Caribou and Grizzly include monthly scans and alerts. Listed monthly prices are 20.00 USD for Écureuil, 35.00 USD for Renard, 65.00 USD for Castor, and 75.00 USD for Caribou.
