Cookie Information, based in Denmark, and CookieYes, based in England, are consent management platforms used by thousands of websites worldwide. They are both strong platforms that cover a vast majority of your compliance needs, but there are a couple of differences between them which we’ll explore in the comparison below that will help you assess why Cookie Information is a great alternative to CookieYes.
Getting started with Cookie Information is quite straightforward. They offer a 30-day free trial without requiring your credit card information, and you can get your cookie banner up and running in just a couple of steps.
Customizing your consent pop up with Cookie Information can be done via JavaScript, HTML, or CSS, and you have unlimited design options. You can add or remove your logo, Cookie Information’s logo, change colors and fonts and make the banner fully fit your brand. They also offer the option to get support with the banner design if needed.
Cookie Information offers advanced consent rate insights and monitoring features. Their Compliance Dashboard (part of their Professional package) provides granular stats on consent choices, which are extremely valuable for consent rate optimization, together with information of non-EU data transfers, cookie lifespan, and unclassified cookies.
Their cookie banner is available in 44 languages. This is very relevant for global businesses that want to localize their messaging across continents, and positions Cookie Information stronger than other alternatives (such as CookieYes which only supports 31 languages).
“Very easy to set up and get going – surprisingly because pretty advanced engine”
What do you like best about Cookie Information?
The whole onboarding was super easy. I got up and running on my own, but the sales rep called just to make sure I had all I need. Love that I can customize as I please.
“Fast, easy and great support”
What do you like best about Cookie Information?
The self-help section is excellent. Since my company is small and we don’t have the resources to outsource, the do-it-yourself approach was what I had to do. The guides were super easy and I could set everything up nicely. Customer service quickly answers and checks if you hav e done a good job.
The onboarding UX can be more intuitive, and while the platform guides you through all the important steps, some vital aspects (such as cookie-blocking) could be emphasized more. They compensate for this with very well documented support articles and prompt guidance via chat, email, and phone.
The pricing models of Cookie Information and CookieYes are both dependent on the amount of pages being scanned, and on the amount of traffic the websites receive. For websites with a high number of consents collected, Cookie Information’s pricing can be on a higher end compared with some competitors, but the level of service included in the enterprise packages is also of a higher quality.
