About CookieYes

CookieYes is a consent management platform designed to help websites comply with global privacy regulations like GDPR, CCPA, and other data protection laws. The platform provides cookie consent banners and cookie management capabilities, enabling businesses to collect and manage user consent for various types of website cookies and tracking technologies.

What does CookieYes do?

CookieYes scans websites to detect and categorize cookies using a database of over 100,000 pre-categorized cookies. The platform automatically blocks third-party scripts like Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel until users provide consent. It maintains detailed consent logs with anonymized IP addresses, consent status, and timestamps to help businesses demonstrate compliance.

The platform integrates with multiple content management systems and e-commerce platforms including WordPress, Shopify, Magento, and custom HTML sites. It supports Google Consent Mode v2 integration, allowing websites to modify Google tag behavior based on user consent choices. The system can automatically translate consent banners into more than 30 languages based on the user's browser settings.

For cookie management, CookieYes provides automatic monthly scanning to keep cookie audit tables current as websites add or remove cookies. The platform includes features for scanning behind login areas to detect cookies in authenticated sections of websites. Users can customize banner layouts, colors, content, and behavior to match their website design through both visual controls and CSS customization.

What makes CookieYes different?

As a Google-certified Consent Management Platform (CMP), CookieYes offers specialized integration with Google's advertising and analytics services. The platform supports both basic and advanced implementations of Google Consent Mode v2, with options to fire Google tags before explicit consent using cookieless pings for behavioral and conversion modeling.

The consent management system maps Google's seven consent types (ad_storage, analytics_storage, functionality_storage, personalization_storage, security_storage, ad_user_data, and ad_personalization) into four simplified categories for users. This mapping helps streamline compliance while maintaining granular control over different types of data collection and usage.

Use cases and industries

CookieYes serves over 1.5 million businesses worldwide, from small and medium-sized businesses to enterprise organizations. The platform caters to companies that need to comply with various privacy regulations across different jurisdictions. Key features like geo-targeting allow organizations to display different consent notices based on user location, helping manage compliance across multiple regulatory frameworks.

The platform has particular relevance for businesses using Google advertising services, as its certified CMP status enables seamless integration with Google's consent requirements. Its extensive integrations with popular e-commerce and content management platforms make it suitable for online retailers, content publishers, and businesses with diverse web technology stacks requiring cookie consent management.
