Overall Satisfaction with Cookiebot
Cookiebot is used in our web applications and websites in order to conform to GDPR regulations in the European Union. Cookiebot lets admins/development teams categorize the cookies used by their websites and applications and describe what type of information these cookies track. Cookiebot also allows admins and development teams to provide a consent dialog whenever users visit their sites. Finally, Cookiebot audits these cookies on a regular basis, in case cookies were added inadvertently or were modified in any way.
- Describe and categorize the cookies used by a website or application.
- Audit cookies used by websites or applications on a monthly basis, providing you a report of the cookies being used.
- Provide Consent Management of the cookies being used in order to comply with GDPR regulations.
- The organization of the environments where Cookiebot is being used requires a slight learning curve and some getting used to.
- Viewing user's cookie preferences is a little cumbersome.
- Cookiebot has allowed us to comply entirely with GDPR with a nice, zero code solution, allowing us to do business in Europe literally overnight.
Cookiebot provides a nice solution that encompasses not only the cookie consent banner for your users but also manages the cookies themselves, as well as audits your sites and applications. The alternatives, as far as I know, do not provide all of these solutions. Cookie Consent lets you configure the banner to your liking and lets you download the code to implement in your sites/applications, but it doesn't let you manage the cookies, and doesn't seem to provide audits of your sites of any kind. That's just based on the research done when we were looking for a solution.
