Consent management for the education sector
An education provider carries more third-party code than most sites its size: embedded lecture video, a learning platform, plagiarism tools, analytics and a plugin on every department page. Some of the visitors are children. Both facts change what a consent banner has to do.
- Built for third-party ed-tech
- Stricter defaults where visitors are children
- Evidence without profiling students
From €36 a month. No credit card, no per-visitor billing.
Where consent gets hard in education
The product questions are the easy part. These four are the ones that come up in review.
The tracking is almost all third-party
Embedded video, the learning platform, analytics, a booking widget and a plugin per department each load code from somewhere else. A banner that only governs your own scripts leaves most of the page running regardless of what a visitor chose.
Some visitors are children
On an open school site you cannot assume the reader is an adult, and the age at which someone can consent for themselves varies by country. The banner has to hold to the stricter reading rather than the convenient one.
One board, many schools
A school board or a university runs the main site plus a site per school, faculty or department. Per-visitor pricing makes an open day unpredictable, and each of those sites was built by a different team at a different time.
The evidence has to survive a review
A consent record that identifies a student creates a new processing activity with its own basis to justify. The defensible record proves a choice was made without building a profile of the person who made it.
What we can put in front of a review
Governs third-party code, not just yours
Embedded video, the learning platform, analytics and plugins are held behind the same consent decision as your own scripts. Nothing loads from a third party until the visitor has accepted the category it belongs to.
- Covers embeds
- Covers the learning platform
- Blocks before consent
Defaults that hold when a visitor may be a child
The banner can be set so nothing non-essential runs until it is actively accepted, with no pre-ticked categories and no assumption about who is reading. On the entry plan those defaults are the fallback rather than an upgrade.
- Nothing pre-ticked
- Opt-in by default
- Same on every plan
Evidence without profiling the student
The consent record ties a choice to the wording that was on screen, with a timestamp, and stops there. It does not identify the student, and your own staff can export it without a support request.
- Versioned wording
- No profile built
- Self-service export
One board, one arrangement
The main site and the site for every school or faculty sit under one configuration and one dashboard, billed per domain rather than per visitor, so an open day that fills the site costs the same as a quiet week.
- Per-domain billing
- No page limits
- One dashboard
How an evaluation usually goes
Talk to us first
Education evaluations start with questions about data, age and scale rather than a trial. We answer them directly.
Run it on one site
Pick a single school or department site and put it live. The first scan usually shows more third-party code than anyone expected.
Take it through review
Legal, accessibility and the data protection officer review the same deployment rather than a description of one.
Roll out the rest
The remaining sites follow under one arrangement, at a price that does not move with an open day.
Start on Professional
Essential covers the compliance, but Professional is the sensible default here: it sets the consent cookie server-side, so a choice lasts and a student on a managed school browser is not shown the banner again every week. Billing is per domain either way, and a board with many sites should start on Enterprise.

Questions from education teams
Does the banner cover embedded video and our learning platform?
Yes. Third-party embeds, the learning platform, analytics and plugins are held behind the same consent decision as your own scripts, so none of them load until the visitor has accepted the category they belong to.
How do you handle visitors who might be children?
The banner can be configured so nothing non-essential runs until it is actively accepted, with no pre-ticked categories. Where you cannot assume the reader is an adult, that is the setting to use, and it is available on every plan.
We run a site per school or faculty. How is that priced?
Per domain rather than per visitor. You pay for the number of sites, not the traffic across them, so an open day or a results day does not change the figure.
Can we get the consent records into our own systems?
Yes. Records are searchable and exportable by your own staff from the dashboard, and Enterprise customers can have them delivered to their own systems. They identify the wording that was shown and the time, not the student.
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.
