"GDPR compliance"

Pros: Good software for managing cookies and consents on our websites, ensuring we respect the newest regulations. They have lots of webinars to educate us and keep us up to date with what’s new. They keep developing the product so I don’t need to make changes myself. Good pricing.

Cons: The interface could be a bit more modern.

"Great support, good product, OK auto blocker"

Overall: Overall experience with cookie information are very good. I have more pros than cons, to me the only downside are the auto-blocking feature not working as it should, the biggest upside is the support, always on point. Would recommend.

Pros: The support are great, replies that are actionable and understandable within a few hours. Also, the pop-up itself looks better than most competitors.

Cons: Their auto-blocking feature does in my experience not work optimally.

Reasons for Switching to Cookie Information: The look of the product and the support are light years ahead of cookiebot

"Easy setup and "

Overall: The best part is that we don't even have to touch a finger after implementation. We use it system wide on all platforms so every new site we build has the same easy implementation.

Pros: The setup is easy, the support is great and I feel confident that the system is in charge of handling all requests.

Cons: UI of the admin backend could be "prettier" and have more advanced functionality

Alternatives Considered: Usercentrics Cookiebot CMP
Reasons for Choosing Cookie Information: I knew about their great support and the company is proactive in terms of changes to compliance regulations etc.

"Making cookies easy for all of us"

Overall: With Cookie Information, I feel like we've got a trustworthy guide on our side. It’s nice knowing they have our back, helping ensure our brand and website are in safe hands.

Pros: I've always found tech stuff a bit challenging, but I was surprised at how smoothly things went with Cookie Information. With a little help from our tech guy, setting it up was quite straightforward. I especially liked how it just works, giving our website visitors a clear choice about cookies without being pushy. It's comforting to know that Cookie Information helps us stick to the rules while still being friendly to our visitors.

Cons: Sometimes, I wish things were explained in simpler terms. I trust the platform to do its job, but a few times, I felt a bit lost with some features. Not all of us are tech wizards!

"The start of Working with Cookie Information"

Pros: It is the first and only testet system that crawls the site for me and autogenerate the needed information about what cookies me and my clients set and use.

Cons: The user interface backend is slow and hard to work with. It should be user firendly and we should have the options to share the consent solution to the end user (our client) without sharing information about all our clients.

"A trusted platform"

Overall: Very supportive staff and good rate of development.

Pros: Cookie Information helps us being GDPR compliant and provides us with a platform that helps us use cookies in the right way, which is no small tasks these days. Being in the insurance industry we need to be 100 % GDPR compliant.

Cons: Setting up a customized cookie pop up requires programming skills and we have had issues with Google Core Web Vitals due to the popup. Hopefully the latest version (V3) fixes this.

Hello Jacob, Thank you very much for your review! We look forward to seeing the positive impact of your brand new consent pop-up on your Google Core Web Vitals.

"IT Operations Specialist"

Overall: reliable solution

Pros: Easy to implement and integrate, smooth communication with their team who can answer all our specific questions. Banner that ensures our customers are informed of the data collected, and that we respect the law. Various customization options. Overall really satisfied with the product.

Cons: It’s not entirely plug and play, but I assume no solution is. It does require a bit of work from our side when setting it up (to ensure it is fully functional).
