Cookiebot adapted very quickly to the changes that were happening at lightning speed. What did I like most about it? The fact that all those complicated legal regulations, implementations, adjustments, etc. were easy peasy lemon squeezy with Cookiebot! Cookiebot had a simple, intuitive, and uncomplicated CMP control panel. The banner configuration was extremely simple and allowed you to immediately preview the actual appearance of the designed banner, and the most difficult part—the implementation—was easy to carry out thanks to the very comprehensive and extensive support, which not only included instructions but also answers to various questions. In summary, integrating Cookiebot with the website using Google Tag Manager was not a major problem. In terms of frequency, there were months when we carried out over several hundred implementations. Currently, unfortunately, the topic has quietened down a bit and there are significantly fewer implementations, so I visit the panel much less often, but there isn't a month when I'm not available on it.

What I disliked most about Cookiebot was the change in the billing method—first, the number of subpages was changed, then, as expected, the prices followed suit, which in turn were adjusted after a short period of time to the new billing method, which was no longer based on subpages, but on the number of sessions, which are much more difficult to calculate. The old method allowed you to find out clearly, quickly, and transparently what the costs of implementing CMP would be. I'm glad that Cookiebot has returned to this, but these frequent changes have certainly caused the loss of many customers... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cookiebot makes it easy to ensure GDPR and ePrivacy compliance across multiple domains and languages. The automatic cookie scan is accurate, and the consent banner is highly customizable to fit brand design. Integration with Google Tag Manager and other platforms is straightforward, which helps maintain data accuracy and compliance without extra effort from developers.

The admin interface could be more intuitive — managing several domains sometimes feels cumbersome. Reports are informative but could provide clearer summaries for management-level insights. Also, the pricing model scales quickly when adding multiple domains, which might not be ideal for large organizations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s been over a year since we started using Cookiebot. As a business based in Greece with plans to expand across the EU, we needed a more reliable solution for compliance. Cookiebot offered the necessary features for both Greek law and GDPR compliance, though it did require some configuration—especially since we use Magento 2. So far, it has proven to be a solid choice. Customer support is great. It also integrates smoothly with our tracking setup, including Google’s platform. I would recommend it.

I wouldnt' say there are downsides, works well. Of course no module/plugin exists to cover all scenarios. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When my client first became aware that we needed a Cookie Management Platform we had a few requirements, the main one being ease of use and setup. Having tried a few options Cookiebot seemed like the best fit for our use case.

The ability to quickly adjust the pop up banner, in terms of visuals and options has been very useful. I've used it on a few sites and it's been adapatable to use for all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't think I can currently add users to the account we have, so everything is done via my login. I'm not sure if this is the case for all accounts. Having mutliple acccess levels for different stakeholds would be beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Good, solid and steady consent tool.Does what it is supposed to do, namely list the cookies used, allow them to be set properly by type, and then provide the visitor with a clear dialogue to accept all or some of the cookies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm working with an older version and think I miss the new stuff and improvements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cookiebot is relatively easy to implement, especially when using Google Tag Manager. The initial setup doesn’t require deep technical knowledge, and the automatic cookie scanning and categorization are helpful for maintaining compliance without having to manually track every script. I also appreciate that it integrates with major platforms and frameworks out of the box, making it a solid option for getting a consent management system running quickly.

The UI feels outdated, and as a long-time customer, I’m still stuck on an older version of the platform with no upgrade path in sight — which makes the growing subscription fees hard to justify.

Logging in can be confusing, as there seem to be multiple platform versions still in use.

Support is another weak point: response times are slow (typically 3–5 business days), and the replies I’ve received often suggest basic workarounds I had already considered, rather than offering any satisfying or long-term solutions.

The pricing model is also a major issue — especially if you have a cross-domain or multi-language setup, since each domain or subdomain is billed separately, even when they share the same cookies.

It would be helpful if Cookiebot allowed more control over scan frequency, especially for websites with a stable cookie setup where monthly scans aren’t necessary. Since pricing is tied to the number of pages scanned, allowing users to reduce scan frequency could be a simple way to manage costs on stable sites where cookies rarely change.

The best part is the ease of integration and how comprehensive it is for complying with cookie regulations. The panel is clear, automatically detects the site's cookies, and allows the website to always stay updated without having to manually review each script. Additionally, the Usercentrics brand conveys trust and seriousness in terms of privacy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The price may be somewhat high for small websites, and the template design could offer more customization options without touching code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The cookie banner works properly, although it's quite standard. The advantage of their pricing system is that they're pricing themselves out of the market, so it'll be over fairly quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We had a truly terrible experience with this company. Even before we received the scan results/invoices for a series of sites, a huge amount had already been debited from our account. Commercial bot scanners result in unrealistically high invoices. Following their own "complaint handling" recommendation, I contacted support, but this is highly inadvisable... 20 emails later, you're back to square one. Fortunately, there are much better options available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Generally, Cookiebot is the best CMP I have used thus far, so even though I will list disadvantages as well, it's still the best product on the market in my opinion.

What do I like most about it? The user interface, which is modern and attractive. When something is beautiful, you want to use it a lot more, and Cookiebot is beautiful. For someone who deeply cares about user privacy and complying with the applicable laws, I really appreciate the value Cookiebot brings — being compliant is easy and enjoyable to set up.

Ease of integration with Google Tag Manager is superb.

Additionally, there's great documentation both from the Cookiebot team itself and from YouTubers in the industry. All of this makes the learning curve smooth and encourages you to go back to Cookiebot for all your projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Certain parts about Cookiebot can be confusing, especially if you're new to the product.

The relationship between Cookiebot and Usercentrics and how all the different UIs connect is not clear. I would love to see the company focus on one UI – the new Cookiebot UI. It's beautiful, easy to set up, and intuitive. I like the Usercentrics UI less.

Additionally, this complicated infrastructure leads to confusion for me and my clients. Sometimes, they have problems logging in – they end up logged into a different product.

Due to the pricing A/B tests conducted by Cookiebot, it's sometimes unclear how much you will pay for the service, because you see a different pricing table on the website than the one you're subject to. You need to contact support to receive your specific pricing.

Sometimes, I want my clients to set up a Cookiebot account, but they are forced to create a Usercentrics account through redirects.

Sometimes, I'm reading documentation, trying to learn how to implement a feature, and then I find out that this documentation refers to a different product in the company's family.

Product-wise, I would like the Cookie Declaration to be more mobile-friendly, especially the tables. I would recommend revisiting this feature and refining the media queries for mobile screens.

It's also essential to be able to change the email address owning a Cookiebot account. I needed this many times and it's not possible.

Overall, Cookiebot is a fantastic product and likely a wonderful business, as I come back to it over and over again and never unsubscribe. If they solve these pain points, this will be a unicorn. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have been using Cookiebot for quite some time now and are very satisfied with how easily the platform keeps our website fully GDPR-compliant. The consent banner system is flexible and easy to adapt to our corporate identity.

In short, Cookiebot is an excellent choice for organizations that take privacy seriously and are looking for a professional, user-friendly, and reliable tool for cookie management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The monthly costs have increased significantly in a short time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
