Cookiebot by Usercentrics vs. Osano

Any situation where a business needs to implement user-level control and consent over cookies from a website or web app is a suitable place to implement Cookiebot. It has a great deal of flexibility in how you trigger/kill cookies, and in how the user can activate or view features like re-visiting the consent popup at a later date or viewing the cookie declaration. They've really made Cookiebot into a component for your existing website rather than a standalone app.

Osano is great for a full suite of websites to manage. Agencies and companies with many websites to attend to are a good match for Osano's capabilities. Websites that run a lot of cookies and scripts (aka anything WordPress) are good candidates for this service. It is also useful for managing user data, although I do not leverage that feature in my own use.

In comparing the offering from our hosting company against Cookiebot, Cookiebot was the winner hands down. Easy to set up, use and monitor it met all of the criteria we had used in our search and at a reasonable price.

I haven't used any other products like Osano before.

Incentivized

• A low-cost way to maintain GDPR compliance from a Cookie standpoint.
• Eliminated or reduced overhead costs associated with trying to keep up with cookie declarations and classifications.
• Provided a fast, scalable way to add new cookies in the future while maintaining GDPR compliance without requiring a developer (via Google Tag Manager custom triggers).

Incentivized

• + [We] haven't had any compliance issues.
• - When adding new scripts to the website, I (me, specifically) need to remember that I'll need to classify them before the scripts will work. [It is] not streamlined for other people on my team.
• + [There are] generally little-to-no issues, which is good.
