Use cases

Prices are indicative and can change with the vendor.

Setup

Setup effort

  1. Create an account and add a domain
  2. Start the cookie scan
  3. Choose banner design and languages
  4. Embed the snippet via plugin or GTM
  5. Review the consent log and reports
Risks

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.
Compliance

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.
