What Klaro! is
Klaro! is a consent and privacy tool for websites, available through an API, self-hosting, or the web. It manages implicit and explicit consent and can stop third-party services or tracking scripts from loading or collecting personal data before permission is given. Administrators can add services with a few lines of code, deploy through the maker’s CDN or their own server, and keep consent records. Banners support 23 languages and work with modern browsers and most older browsers, including Internet Explorer 9–11. Documentation describes Google Tag Manager integration and Google Consent Mode v2 compatibility. Hosted packages include a REST API, while the JavaScript API can be used globally or imported into Node.js. The Open-Source edition is free forever for commercial and non-commercial use, with client-side features of commercial editions. Paid plans start at €19.00 per month, and a 7-day trial is listed. Klaro! does not support IAB TCF. The open-source edition relies on GitHub issues rather than email support.
