Comparison
Consentico vs Cookiebot
Cookiebot is the gold standard for enterprise compliance — and priced accordingly. Consentico is the Shopify-native alternative for the 95% of merchants who need real compliance without enterprise complexity or cost.
Where Consentico wins
- Theme app extension install — no theme.liquid edits, survives theme updates, one-click removal.
- Roughly 10× cheaper at typical Shopify volume; free tier covers 5,000 banner views with full features.
- Built-in cookie scanner crawls your storefront directly; Cookiebot scans by URL pattern.
- Settings live in the Shopify admin alongside your other apps — no separate dashboard to manage.
- Designed around Shopify's Customer Privacy API and GDPR webhook lifecycle.
Where Cookiebot wins
- Longest track record of any CMP — referenced by name in many enterprise DPAs.
- IAB TCF v2.2 framework support — required if you sell ad inventory programmatically.
- Vendor-level granularity (per-IAB-vendor opt-out, not just category-level).
- Larger automated cookie database for categorisation (millions of pre-classified cookies).
- Legal-team friendly — extensive documentation, audit trails, and DPIA templates.
