About Cookiebot
Cookiebot is a cookie consent management platform made by Usercentrics. It lets a website owner show a consent banner, record what each visitor agreed to and block cookies and trackers until permission is given. The product is aimed at small and mid-sized businesses that need to meet GDPR and other privacy rules without building their own consent tooling.
The vendor's site stresses coverage of many regimes, including the EU GDPR, the IAB TCF framework, Google Consent Mode, Brazil's LGPD, Canada's PIPEDA and a long list of US state privacy laws. Integrations are provided for common site builders and platforms such as WordPress, Shopify and Wix, and optional add-ons extend the consent data with audience surveys and benchmarks.
Cookiebot is a hosted commercial service with a free trial. Plans and prices are listed on the vendor's pricing page and are not reproduced here. Sites that want other Usercentrics products, such as app or connected-TV consent, can find them in the wider product family.
