European consent management platforms (cmp)

Cookie consent built around EU rules first

Replaces: OneTrust · TrustArc

A consent management platform shows the cookie banner on your site, records what each visitor agreed to, and blocks or releases scripts based on that choice. It keeps a log you can produce if a regulator asks, and it usually maps your tags to purposes such as analytics, marketing or personalisation. Most also cover rules beyond Europe, including the CCPA in California and the LGPD in Brazil.

There is something odd about handing your GDPR evidence to a processor outside the EU, and consent records are personal data in their own right. Usercentrics, Complianz and Borlabs Cookie are European entries here. A European consent management platform keeps the consent log, the banner script and the vendor relationship inside the same legal framework you are documenting compliance against.

Our pick

Borlabs Cookie

WordPress consent management plugin from Germany

Borlabs Cookie is a consent management plugin for WordPress, made in Germany. Because it runs inside WordPress, it can hold back scripts and styles that plugins and themes would otherwise load before consent is given, and it replaces embedded content such as YouTube videos with a placeholder until the visitor agrees. A built in scanner checks the site for problems and suggests packages to install.
