How we classify services

Operational dependency warning

Relies heavily on non-European providers

Current public evidence shows 4 non-European infrastructure or email dependencies across 4 providers: Cloudflare, Google, HubSpot, Mailgun. The reviewed operational path is therefore not entirely European.

Review dependencies ↓

Complianz is a consent management plugin for WordPress from the Netherlands. Because it runs directly on the site, it can block scripts and iframes before consent is given without any change to the theme or template code. A free basic version is published in the WordPress plugin directory.

The Complianz servers sit behind the American service Cloudflare, but visitors connect only to your WordPress site and not to those servers. As a European alternative to American consent platforms, it keeps visitor traffic out of third party hands, and it suits WordPress owners who handle their own compliance.

Pricing

Paid plans start at 59 euro per year, and there are plans for companies running several websites. A free basic version is available in the WordPress plugin directory.
