Consently Reviews

Conzent stands out as a consent management platform (CMP) that is both IAB TCF-certified (CMP #446) and recognized as a Google CMP Partner, operating under the principle that compliance should be accessible at no cost to all users. What sets it apart from other CMPs includes the following features: it is source-available under BSL 1.1, which transitions to Apache 2.0, and its complete source code is readily available on GitHub, allowing for easy self-hosting with a single command. Furthermore, it incorporates built-in A/B testing capabilities to evaluate various banner designs, copy, and layouts, while also providing a Revenue Impact Analysis through a real-time dashboard that illustrates how consent preferences influence advertising revenue. Importantly, it guarantees that no tracking of your visitors occurs at any time. The platform ensures compliance with multiple regulations, including GDPR, CCPA, LGPD, the ePrivacy Directive, IAB TCF v2.3, and Google Consent Mode v2. Additionally, it seamlessly integrates with popular content management systems such as WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, TYPO3, Umbraco, Wix, and analytics tools like Matomo TM and Google Tag Manager. In terms of performance, Conzent achieves script loads in under 50 milliseconds, eliminates layout shifts, and operates asynchronously by default. Users have the option to host their services on an EU-based cloud or to self-host for free on their own infrastructure, with an appealing pricing model that decreases as sponsorship revenue increases, ultimately aiming to make compliance accessible for everyone. With all these features, Conzent truly embodies a commitment to enhancing user privacy while simplifying compliance processes.
