Prices are indicative and can change with the vendor.
Setup effort
- Create an account and add a domain
- Start the cookie scan
- Choose banner design and languages
- Embed the snippet via plugin or GTM
- Review the consent log and reports
Things to watch
- Automatic cookie scan can miss tags that fire only rarely – plan recurring re-scans.
- TCF / feature availability is plan-dependent; verify the plan matrix before contracting.
- Branding / whitelabel may only be available in higher plans – check the vendor pricing page.
Privacy & compliance notes
- Suitable for typical DACH SMB setups with GA4, Google Ads and a standard tag stack.
- Sister product to the enterprise Usercentrics CMP – buyer profiles are different.
- No automatic legal advice – GDPR responsibility remains with the operator.
Practical context
Snippet integration via Google Tag Manager or directly in the <head>.
WordPress plugin available; configuration details change – check the vendor docs.
Vendor is Usercentrics A/S; verify concrete data-processing locations and DPA with the vendor before deployment.
According to vendor, both Basic and Advanced modes of Google Consent Mode v2 are supported. Verify configuration details in staging before go-live.
According to vendor, IAB-certified for TCF v2.2 – confirm the status on the vendor's page or in the IAB vendor register.
Monthly or annual billing, tiered by sub-domains and feature set (e.g. branding removal, TCF in higher plans). Verify the tariff structure with the vendor before contracting.
Plugin / snippet setup typically achievable in a morning; clean tag classification on top depending on the stack.
