10 Best Cookie Consent Management Platforms of 2026
By the TopToolAdvisor research desk · Updated November 9, 2026 · Next review December 24, 2026 · 10 products scored
Our pick in brief
CookieYes is the safest default for most websites: its free plan already includes a GDPR opt-in template, a US state law opt-out template, cookie auto-blocking and Google Consent Mode v2, and Basic costs $10 per domain per month. Cookiebot is the strongest choice when traffic is high but the site is small, because it bills by subpage count rather than pageviews. Termly fits small businesses that want policies and a banner in one subscription. Usercentrics, from the company behind Cookiebot, scales to apps and TV. Enzuzo, Complianz and iubenda are low-cost picks for multi-domain owners, WordPress sites and legal document bundles. Osano, Didomi and OneTrust are for privacy teams that need consent records, preference management and many regions under one contract.
Quick answer
CookieYes is the best cookie consent management platform for small and midsize websites in 2026, with a free plan and paid plans from $10 per domain per month. Cookiebot suits site owners who want subpage-based pricing with no traffic caps, and Termly suits small businesses that also need generated privacy policies from $10 per website per month billed annually. Complianz is the cheapest paid option for WordPress at $59 a year for one site.
This list is for website owners, marketers and developers who need a cookie banner and consent records that hold up under the EU GDPR and ePrivacy rules and under US state privacy laws such as the CCPA and CPRA. We compared documented features and published prices for 10 consent management platforms (CMPs) and scored each on features, ease of use and value. Prices are in US dollars as shown on each vendor's pricing page on the date we checked. Cookiebot and Usercentrics showed only euro or zloty prices from our location, and OneTrust, Osano and Didomi sell on quote, so those entries show a pending price. The products split into self-serve tools priced per domain, per pageview or per session, and enterprise platforms that bundle consent with preference centers, data subject requests and app or TV consent.

Free plan; Starter $10 per website per month billed annually ($14 monthly); Pro+ $15 billed annually
Quoted from the Termly pricing page on November 9, 2026:
Starter For essential protection $ 10 $ 14 Per website/month Billed Annually
Termly earns its place for owners who want consent and legal pages solved together. Every plan includes a cookie banner, a cookie script auto blocker and a cookie policy, and the free tier allows 10,000 banner views a month with quarterly scans. Starter, at $10 per website per month billed annually or $14 monthly, adds two legal policies, ten policy edits, 50,000 banner views and monthly scans. Pro+, at $15 billed annually, is the plan most sites with EU advertising will need, because it adds Google Consent Mode v2, IAB TCF 2.3, regional consent rules, multi-language support, weekly scans, auto-updated policies and unlimited banner views. Termly also offers EU data storage for visitor consent data and a regulation monitoring service from its legal team. The limits are clear: Consent Mode v2 sits behind Pro+, and each website needs its own license, so multi-site owners should ask about bulk or agency pricing.
Strengths
- +Banner and legal policies in one license per website
- +Starter is $10 per website per month billed annually
- +Pro+ removes the banner view cap
Drawbacks
- −Google Consent Mode v2 and IAB TCF are only on Pro+
- −Starter caps banner views at 50,000 a month
- −Each extra website needs its own license
- Free plan
- Yes, 1 basic policy and 10,000 banner views a month

Free WordPress plugin; Premium from $59 a year for 1 website, $179 for 5, $399 for 25
Quoted from the Complianz pricing page on November 9, 2026:
Personal 1 website $59
Complianz is the value leader for WordPress. The premium plugin costs $59 a year for one site, $179 for five and $399 for 25, and every tier includes the same feature set: legal documents such as a privacy statement, disclaimer and processing agreement, consent handling that changes scripts, banners and documents by region, records of consent, data request processing, A/B testing and a hybrid cookie scan. Complianz is Google CMP certified and holds IAB TCF CMP ID 332, which matters for sites that run programmatic ads. A free plugin covers the basics before you upgrade, and a 30-day money back guarantee lowers the risk. Because it runs inside WordPress, configuration happens in a setup wizard in the admin rather than a separate dashboard, which some owners prefer and others find dense. It does not serve other platforms except through its Shopify app, and Multisite networks need the Agency license.
Strengths
- +Lowest paid price on this list at $59 a year for one site
- +Free plugin available on WordPress
- +30-day money back guarantee
Drawbacks
- −Works only on WordPress, plus a separate Shopify app
- −Updates and support last one year per license

Free plan; Growth $22 per month billed annually ($29 monthly) for 4 domains; Pro $59 billed annually
Quoted from the Enzuzo pricing page on November 9, 2026:
Paid plans from $22/month billed annually.
Enzuzo is a good value pick for owners with a handful of small sites. Its Growth plan costs $22 per month billed annually, or $29 monthly, and covers four domains and 10,000 unique monthly visitors, which is cheaper than buying four single-domain licenses elsewhere. Every plan includes Google Consent Mode v2, Microsoft UET Consent Mode, banner design controls and banners in more than 24 languages, while Growth adds Global Privacy Control, Do Not Track, subdomain consent, custom CSS, full consent logs and removal of Enzuzo branding. Enzuzo also bundles policy generators for privacy policies, terms and ecommerce pages, and handles data subject access requests with workflow automation and audit trails. Pro, at $59 per month billed annually, raises limits to ten domains, five users and 30,000 visitors with unlimited geo-specific blocking. The visitor caps are low for busy sites, and Free and Growth allow only one user, so teams will need Pro or an Enterprise quote.
Strengths
- +Growth covers four domains for one price
- +Free plan is permanent, with no card required
- +Contract-free plans you can cancel at any time
Drawbacks
- −Growth allows only 10,000 monthly visitors
- −Only one user on Free and Growth
- −Free plan keeps Enzuzo branding
- Free plan
- Yes, 1 domain, 1 user, 5,000 visitors a month

Usercentrics is the broader sibling of Cookiebot and the better fit once consent has to span websites, apps and TV. Its web CMP plans run from Essential, with one domain, one chosen regulation, two banner languages and up to 1,500 sessions, through Plus, which unlocks unlimited regulations and geolocation rules, to Pro, with three domains, 60 languages, cross-domain consent sharing, IAB TCF support and a Consent or Pay theme for publishers. Business raises the limit to 50,000 sessions and ten domains, and a Corporate plan covers larger volumes. The regulation list covers GDPR plus several US state laws including CCPA/CPRA, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut and Utah, and the company sells separate CMPs for mobile apps and connected TV along with server-side tagging. All plans include a 14-day trial with no card. The entry plans are tight: one regulation is not enough for a site with both EU and California visitors, so most buyers should start at Plus.
Strengths
- +Covers web, app and CTV consent from one vendor
- +Unlimited users and subpages on every plan
- +Consent or Pay banner theme for publishers
Drawbacks
- −Essential limits you to one privacy regulation and two banner languages
- −Session caps start at 1,500 a month on Essential
- −US dollar prices were not shown from our location
- Plans
- Essential, Plus, Pro, Business, Corporate
- Essential limits

Price
Free plan; Essentials $5.99 per site per month billed yearly ($6.99 monthly); Advanced $24.99
Quoted from the iubenda pricing page on November 9, 2026:
$5 .99 $6 ,99 Per site, per month when billed yearly
iubenda suits owners who care as much about their policies as their banner. Its Essentials plan, at $5.99 per site per month billed yearly or $6.99 monthly, combines a cookie banner for up to 25,000 pageviews with a privacy and cookie policy built from up to 20 clauses chosen from a library of more than 2,400 third-party services, plus monthly scans that flag new services. Advanced, at $24.99, raises the quota to 50,000 pageviews, adds terms and conditions, all available languages, geo-targeting by visitor location and removes iubenda branding from popups. Ultimate adds hourly scans, a mobile SDK, detailed consent analytics and consent recovery notices. iubenda says its documents update automatically when laws change, and it offers a free plan and a 14-day trial on any plan. The pageview quotas are small for the price, overages are billed per 1,000 pageviews, and sites with both EU and US visitors will need Advanced for geo-targeting.
Strengths
- +Essentials starts at $5.99 per site per month billed yearly
- +Policy clause library covers thousands of third-party services
- +No iubenda branding on popups from Advanced
Drawbacks
- −Essentials allows only 25,000 pageviews and one language
- −Geo-targeting needs Advanced at $24.99 per site per month
- −Pageviews over the quota are billed per 1,000
- Free plan

We could not confirm a US price yet. Check the Osano pricing page.
Osano sits between the self-serve banners and the enterprise suites. Its cookie consent product configures consent by visitor location and supports protocols for the GDPR, CCPA, UK GDPR, LGPD and PIPEDA, and it keeps detailed consent logs that can be searched by consent ID, email, phone, date or location. What sets it apart is the unified consent and preference hub, which manages communication opt-ins and opt-outs, sensitive data choices, non-cookie tracking, marketing consent and terms of service agreements alongside cookies. A reporting dashboard shows consent logs, pending changes and configuration health. The same platform covers subject rights requests, data mapping, vendor risk monitoring and assessments, so a small privacy team can run more of its program in one place. Osano offers a 30-day free trial, but it does not publish prices, and companies that only need a banner on one site will pay for more than they use.
Strengths
- +Manages marketing and communication preferences, not only cookies
- +Audit-ready consent logs with detailed search
- +Free 30-day trial
Drawbacks
- −No published prices
- −More platform than a single small site needs
- −Many features sit in modules beyond cookie consent

We could not confirm a US price yet. Check the Didomi pricing page.
Didomi targets organizations where consent spans hundreds of properties and several device types. It supports IAB TCF v2.2, the Global Privacy Platform, Google Consent Mode v2, Microsoft UET Consent Mode and AWS Consent Mode, with a compliance team keeping those integrations current, and it shows geo-targeted consent experiences from a single console. Notices are available in more than 45 languages with automatic browser language detection, and separate banners can run on different domains and subdomains while sharing consent. An analytics dashboard tracks opt-in rates and banner performance, and built-in A/B tests let teams measure changes. For compliance, Didomi versions every consent event and can pull the exact interface a user agreed to on a given date, and its cross-device feature lets a user choose once across web, app and TV. Didomi cites Yahoo rolling out a single CMP across hundreds of properties. Prices are not published and the platform is more than a small site needs.
Strengths
- +Can retrieve the exact interface a user agreed to on any date
- +Cross-device consent so users choose once
- +Migration help with a dedicated solutions architect
Drawbacks
- −No published prices; sales demo required

We could not confirm a US price yet. Check the OneTrust pricing page.
OneTrust has the deepest cookie consent feature set here, but it is built for enterprise privacy offices rather than site owners working alone. Its scanner can simulate the user experience, scan behind logins and trigger hidden pages, then categorize trackers against a database of more than 45 million pre-categorized cookies. Banner templates support more than 250 languages and geolocation rules that switch consent models by region, country or state, and blocking works through a no-code option, tag manager integrations or script rewriting. Scheduled scans can feed the cookie list into your policies, a consent transaction database records each choice, and A/B testing helps raise opt-in rates. Consent can extend to mobile apps and OTT and CTV devices within the wider OneTrust platform. OneTrust says more than 750,000 websites use the product. Pricing is quote based and tied to average daily visitors, and administration takes trained staff, which is why it ranks last for the typical website owner.
Strengths
- +Deepest scanning and categorization on this list
- +Extends to mobile app and OTT and CTV consent
- +Fits into a wider privacy, governance and risk platform
Drawbacks
- −No published prices; packages are quote based

What to check before you buy
Match the banner logic to each law
The GDPR and ePrivacy rules require opt-in consent before non-essential cookies fire, while most US state laws work on an opt-out basis with a link to stop the sale or sharing of data. Check that the platform can show different banners by region from one setup. CookieYes includes both templates on every plan, while geo-targeting on CookieYes, iubenda and Usercentrics starts on a mid-tier plan.
Confirm Google Consent Mode v2 and IAB TCF support
If you run Google Ads or Google Analytics for EU visitors, the CMP needs Google Consent Mode v2 so tags adjust to each choice. Publishers that sell programmatic ads also need the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework. CookieYes and Termly put TCF on their Pro tiers, Usercentrics puts it on Pro, and Complianz lists its own IAB CMP ID.
Check whether the platform honors Global Privacy Control
Several US state laws expect sites to treat the Global Privacy Control browser signal as an opt-out. CookieYes supports GPC on Pro and Ultimate, Enzuzo on Growth and above, and Didomi documents GPC among its supported frameworks. If you sell to California residents, test that the signal actually suppresses your ad and analytics tags.
Price the unit the vendor bills on
Vendors charge on different units: CookieYes and iubenda by pageviews per domain, Usercentrics by sessions, Cookiebot by subpage count, Termly by banner views and website, Enzuzo by domains and monthly visitors, and OneTrust by average daily visitors. A blog with 50 pages and heavy traffic can be cheap on Cookiebot and expensive on a pageview plan, so model your own numbers before you compare.
Keep proof of consent you can export
Regulators and plaintiffs ask what a visitor saw and chose. Look for consent logs that record the banner version and the choice, with search and export. Osano lets you search records by consent ID, email, phone, date or location, Didomi can retrieve the exact interface a user agreed to on a given date, and Complianz includes records of consent in its premium plugin.
Common questions
- What is a cookie consent management platform?
- A cookie consent management platform (CMP) scans a website for cookies and trackers, shows a banner that asks visitors for consent, blocks non-essential scripts until they agree, and stores a record of each choice. Most also pass consent signals to Google tags and ad partners through Google Consent Mode v2 and the IAB TCF.
- Do US websites need a cookie banner?
- US state laws such as the CCPA and CPRA mostly require an opt-out from the sale or sharing of personal data rather than opt-in consent, and several expect sites to honor the Global Privacy Control signal. If you also have visitors from the EU or UK, the GDPR and ePrivacy rules require opt-in consent before non-essential cookies load, so most CMPs offer separate templates for each.
- What is the cheapest cookie consent platform?
- CookieYes, Cookiebot, Termly, Enzuzo, iubenda and Complianz all offer free plans or a free plugin with traffic or feature limits. Among paid plans we checked, Complianz costs $59 a year for one WordPress site, iubenda Essentials is $5.99 per site per month billed yearly, and CookieYes Basic and Termly Starter both start at $10 per month.
- Do I need Google Consent Mode v2?
- If you use Google Ads, Google Analytics or other Google tags for visitors in the European Economic Area, your CMP should support Google Consent Mode v2 so tags adjust to each visitor's choice. CookieYes, Enzuzo and Complianz include it on entry plans, while Termly reserves it for Pro+.
- How did we rank these platforms?
- We compared documented features and published prices on each vendor's own pages and scored every platform on features (35 percent), ease of use (35 percent) and value (30 percent). Prices were checked in US dollars on the date shown; where a vendor showed only euro or zloty prices from our location or sells on quote, the price is marked pending.
