What Cookie Consent by Consenti is
Cookie Consent by Consenti is an open-source consent management platform for cookie consent and privacy choices. Its widget can run without a backend, while an optional API adds server-side consent records and an admin dashboard on infrastructure you control. The dashboard manages profiles, consent records, audit logs, and role-based access. The widget supports Vanilla JS, React, Vue, Angular, Next.js, and Nuxt, with configurable labels, colors, positions, and buttons. Listed capabilities include automatic blocking, geographic targeting, IAB TCF support, and advanced Google Consent Mode. Consent mapping is provided for Google Consent Mode v2, Meta, Adobe, and Segment; backend plugins include BigQuery, Segment, Snowflake, webhooks, and Slack. Accessibility features include focus trapping, ARIA roles, keyboard navigation, and screen-reader announcements, targeting WCAG 2.x AA. The project says it actively maintains GDPR/UK-GDPR, CCPA/CPRA and US state laws, and LGPD coverage. The free plan is Apache 2.0 open source with no monthly fee.
