### "Cookies without crumbles"

February 15, 2022

5.0

CookieFirst is my solution of choice for enabling cookie consent on any professional website or SaaS application I do. Pricing is comfortably reasonable and features and functionality leave nothing to be desired. The style and behavior of the deployed solution is aesthetically pleasing and functional to the end user. Styling and other properties are easily manageable. It's a satisfying and trustworthy product which I can warmly recommend.

Pros

\- ease of use - style - management - options

Cons

\- I don't see any cons in my experience with CookieFirst.

Reason for choosing CookieFirst

It's simply a better product, namely for the end user experience.

### "Support Fedback"

September 5, 2024

4.0

We're happy with CookieFirst. As I mentioned, even though we had some issues with Cookie banner – support took their time and fixed all the problems quickly. Big kudos for \[sensitive content hidden\] for helping us out!

Pros

Compared with all the other tools that we used - CookieFirst is really easy to use and implement on your website. Also, I was really happy that support took their time to investigate our issues and they helped us right away!

Cons

There were some bugs with our cookie banner – sometimes it was broken or issues with content updates. However, support managed to help us with these issues and fix everything.

Not much, had a bad experience. Looking for recommendations of other tools ;-)

The support ghosted me. I wrote several times and never received a reply anymore.

I hoped that this would work better. Unfortunately no support.

Dear Dominik,  Thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry to hear that support was not handled satisfactory.  We have created a helper script for you that does what you need.  Keep in mind that your desired approach is not a compliant way to manage consent. Kind regards,  CF Team

### "Easy and fast. Great price for the value."

February 15, 2022

5.0

We were looking for an easy/fast way to implement Consent Management in our web page, we compared many services, but CookieFirst seems to be the perfect one and we were not wrong. Easy to setup, easy to configure, easy to personalize, great price for the value.

Pros

It's very easy to implement and to customize. It adapted perfectly to the design of our web page.

Cons

Everything is great (at least in what we need)

### "Reliable and easy to setup"

January 4, 2022

5.0

Pros

Being a small non-profit organisation we were looking for an easy to setup tool that allowed us to comply with GDPR. In Cookiefirst we found the tool that we were looking for.

Cons

At this very moment we don't have any cons

### "You get what you pay for"

February 11, 2022

1.0

Cookie Consent without need for own implementation.

Pros

It has a good price for small companies/pages. The product is easy to style and setup. It is based in Europe (I hope all data is also stored here).

Cons

1\. The consent api takes too long. This goes for the first displaying the banner but also after saving my consent it takes too long. This ruins our AB Tests. 2. Statistics are unreliable. Based on Server analytics we don't have a 80% consent rate like the statics page shows, but of 50%. We can be sure about this gap, because we lost also 50% of our google analytics users introducing the tool on not only 20%. 3. Payment Invoice unstructured. We can't see for which of our domains we are paying for in each invoice. 4. Cookies are only collected for unsigned users, a way to set up a user would be nice. 5. Documentation is incomplete and outdated 6. Still looks like MVP, further improvements coming?

Reason for choosing CookieFirst

Price, ease of use, Based in Europe

June 14, 2022

Pros

Their main activity is done perfectly. Cookie Consent Management. It works very well.

### "Easy to implement and a must have in terms of compliance!"

February 11, 2022

4.0

After the quick setup, CookieFirst runs automatically and scans all Cookies and expiries. You receive an update regularly and have a good overview.

Pros

Cookie opt-in is essential and any company operating from Germany has to be legally compliant. Especially since we are a Legal Tech Company, this is of upmost importance for us. As opposed to a difficult and long setup, CookeFirst can be setup within minutes and insures instant compliance.

Cons

There are no cons that we have come across yet. Can highly recommend.

### "Great product, easy to use for newbies !"

February 3, 2022

5.0

Easy to setup, easy to use, I'm very happy with it and I do recommend it to people building platforms and website who don't have a lot of knowledge in the matter, like me.

Pros

Setting up is easy, you can customize a lot of parameters and view them live. Also, there are regular scans and updates, which is a good way to remind you to keep checking your settings.

Cons

The one thing I don't like too much is that some elements are automatically classified as ads cookies, but they are not and I can't customize that

### "Gutes Produkt - Abzüge wegen Transparenz"

May 3, 2021

4.0

Die Software und der Support sind gut. Negativ ist leider die Transparenz bzw. Vollständigkeit der Informationen über Preis (fehlende Mwst.) und Leistung (page views relevant für Preis).

Pros

Schnelle und kompetente Reaktion auf Anfragen Support und Antworten in Deutsch Umfangreiche Funktionen Flexible Einstellungen Hosting in EU Benutzerverwaltung

Cons

Nicht ersichtlich, dass Begrenzung auf 250.000 page views/page impressions (erst auf Anfrage) Angegebene Preise sind netto - kein Hinweis auffindbar, dass Mwst. hinzugerechnet wird, dies wird erst in Rechnung ersichtlich. Langsamer Aufbau der Admin-Site GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS nur in Englisch Standardmäßig nur monatlicher Scan, darüberhinaus manuell über Suppportanfrage

The new statistics are very useful. We use exports in the time domain on a monthly basis. In general, I am satisfied

With the software, we were able to do our duty quickly and easily.
