A cookie banner your visitors can answer
It should look like part of your site, ask in a language the visitor reads, and give an honest choice rather than a wall with one obvious button. Then it should hold the rest of the page to whatever they picked.
- Your fonts and colours
- Accessible by default
- Live the same afternoon
From €10 a month. No credit card, no per-visitor billing.
Most banners fail on one of four things
They are rarely broken. They are usually just wrong in a way that only shows up when somebody looks closely.
It does not look like your site
A banner in somebody else’s typeface is the first thing a visitor sees, and it reads as bolted on. It is also the reason many teams shrink it until the choices are hard to find, which turns a design problem into a compliance one.
It only speaks one language
A visitor cannot give informed consent to a sentence they cannot read. Sites that trade across borders often serve one English banner to everybody, which is the single most common gap we find when a new customer arrives.
Refusing is harder than accepting
One prominent Accept button and a Manage preferences link three shades lighter is a pattern regulators have named and fined. Rejecting has to be as easy as accepting, on the same screen, at the same weight.
The tags ignore what the visitor picked
The banner records a choice and the tags carry on. This is the failure that matters most and the one nobody sees, because a site with an unenforced banner looks identical to a site with an enforced one.
What ours does differently
It takes your styling
Colours, typeface, corner radius, button shapes, position on the screen. The editor is visual, so the person who owns the brand can do it without opening a stylesheet.
- Visual editor
- Your typeface
- Light and dark
It speaks the languages you activate
Translations ship for every language we support, and the banner picks from the ones you activated based on the visitor rather than on your default. You can edit any of them, and the edit is versioned along with the rest of the text.
- Automatic selection
- Editable text
- Versioned
It asks the right question per region
A visitor in the EU is asked before anything loads. A visitor in California is offered an opt out of sale and sharing. A rule scoped to a region sets the defaults, so they follow the visitor rather than your head office.
- Per-region defaults
- Opt in and opt out
- Global Privacy Control
It is usable with a keyboard and a screen reader
Focus order, contrast and labelling are right on every plan, and on Essential the accessibility controls are disabled rather than hidden, with the banner falling back to compliant defaults. You cannot accidentally ship an inaccessible banner.
- Keyboard operable
- Screen reader labels
- Compliant defaults

Questions about the banner itself
Can I make the banner match my brand exactly?
Yes. Colours, typeface, radius, button style, layout and position are all editable, and the editor is visual rather than a stylesheet. The one thing we do not let you change is anything that would make refusing harder than accepting, because that is what makes a banner unlawful rather than ugly.
Which languages does it support?
Every language you have activated, out of the full set we ship translations for, chosen automatically from the visitor rather than from your site default, and all of them editable. Sites trading across borders are the ones this matters most for, and serving one English banner to everybody is the most common gap we see on arrival.
Does the banner have to appear before anything loads?
In the EU and the UK, yes, for anything that is not strictly necessary. In California and several other US states the rule is different: tracking may start, and the visitor must be given a clear way to opt out of sale and sharing. Our defaults follow the visitor’s region rather than yours.
Is the banner accessible?
Yes, on every plan. Focus order, contrast and labelling are correct by default, and on Essential the accessibility controls are disabled rather than removed, so the banner falls back to compliant settings. Professional unlocks them for teams with their own accessibility standard to meet.
Will it slow my site down?
It is a small script served from your own domain rather than a third party, so there is no extra DNS lookup and no connection to somebody else’s CDN. Serving it first party is also what stops browser tracking protection from blocking the thing that is meant to be doing the blocking.
What does Consent Studio cost?
Ten euro a month per domain, with no limit on pages and no billing per visitor. That covers the banner, the tag manager and the weekly scan together, because all three are on every plan. Agencies and organisations running many domains have a partner rate, and organisations outside the fair use range have an Enterprise plan.
Where is our consent data stored?
In Amsterdam, on infrastructure owned and operated by Scaleway, a French company. That matters beyond the map pin: Scaleway is independently French rather than a European subsidiary of a US parent, so neither they nor we fall under the US CLOUD Act. Consent Studio itself is built and owned in the Netherlands by Vallonic.
