Should it be CookieBot or Cookie Information? Both companies with foundations in Denmark are fighting for market shares in (what we consider a no-brainer) investment in compliance as a digital company right now.
The only question is: Who should you choose?
We have tested both solutions and do not have a clear winner. But we have some quick pros & cons that we'd like to share:
Cookie Information
Pros
- Investing in the Piwik analysis tool, can become a dangerous and very interesting cocktail of analysis and cookie compliance. This can make them the only right choice, as you get 2 for the price of one.
- Excellent dashboard (if you pay for it) with an overview of consents.
- Lots of customization options.
Cons
- A bit expensive, and without a good free solution.
- Poor interface that is hard to see through.
- Too difficult to adapt if you are not a front-end user.
CookieBot
Pros
- Have a Template in Google Tag Manager, which makes it easy to implement, so everything can be run through GTM.
- Nice free solution for small sites.
- OK interface and cooler appearance on consent box.
Cons
- Not many customization options visually.
- Poor interface (though a bit easier than Cookie Information).
Both solutions support Google Consent Mode and comply with GDPR regulations.
Who's winning?
We're leaning a bit towards CookieBot these days, but keep an eye on what's happening at Cookie Information.
