PrivacyConsent

What PrivacyConsent is

PrivacyConsent is a cookie consent solution for websites, powered by Consent Manager technology. It provides customizable consent banners in more than 30 languages and can automatically block or delay ads until a visitor gives consent. Its cookie crawler scans a website for cookies and blocks data transfer for cookies a visitor refuses. Reports show views and ad impressions from visitors who consented or declined, with filtering and grouping to compare banner designs and visitor types. PrivacyConsent supports TTDSG, GDPR/ePrivacy, CCPA, IAB TCF V2, and IAB GPP; the maker describes it as a Google-certified CMP with Consent Mode v2. It is described as compatible with over 2,500 tools, including common tag managers, shop systems, Google products, and ad servers. Listed CMS and shop systems include WordPress, Joomla, Typo3, Drupal, Magento, PrestaShop, OXID eShop, and WooCommerce. Setup involves creating and inserting code on a website, and advertisers or partners can query consent through an IAB-standardized API. The maker says data is stored on servers in Europe. Plans include a permanently free option for one website and paid options starting at €19/mo. PrivacyConsent is made by a Dublin-based company founded in 2013.

PrivacyConsent suits website owners who need cookie consent banners, cookie scanning, and controls for ad delivery based on visitor consent. It may also fit teams using the listed CMS or shop systems and partners that need consent access through the IAB-standardized API.
