Consent management across a municipal estate
A municipality does not run one website. It runs the main portal, district sites, participation platforms, cultural venues and a long tail of campaign sites, and every one of them needs the same consent decision applied the same way. This handles the estate from one place.
- One configuration, every site
- Billed per domain, not per visitor
- Every site in one dashboard
From €36 a month. No credit card, no per-visitor billing.
Where consent gets hard across an estate
A single site is straightforward. The difficulty is doing the same thing forty times and keeping it that way.
Every site drifted somewhere different
Sub-sites are built by different teams and agencies over years, so one carries a different banner, one loads a tag nobody remembers adding, and one has no banner at all. Nobody holds a full list of what is out there.
Per-visitor pricing makes the bill unpredictable
A campaign site can go from nothing to the busiest property in the estate in a week. Pricing that moves with traffic turns a communications success into an unplanned invoice, and it punishes exactly the archive a public body is obliged to keep online.
The archive still counts
A municipality cannot take down the sites nobody visits. Election information, finished projects and statutory notices stay up for years, they still set cookies, and they still need a compliant banner even though their traffic is close to zero.
One change, forty deployments
When the law shifts or a new vendor is approved, the update has to reach every site. If that means a separate request to each site’s builder, most of the estate is out of date most of the time.
What running the estate from one place gives you
One configuration, applied everywhere
Set the categories, the wording and the vendor list once. Every site inherits it, and a new site starts covered instead of starting from a blank banner that somebody has to remember to fill in.
- Inherited defaults
- One vendor list
- New sites start covered
Billed per domain, not per visitor
The price follows the number of sites, not the traffic across them. A campaign that goes viral and an archive nobody opens cost the same, so the figure is something a team can budget a year ahead.
- Traffic-independent
- No page limits
- Predictable annually
Every site in a single dashboard
The main portal and the smallest campaign site sit in the same list, with the same scan history and the same consent records. Finding the one site with an unapproved tag takes a filter rather than an audit.
- One site list
- Shared scan history
- Records in one place
A weekly scan that finds what drifted
Every site is crawled each week and new tracking is checked against the approved vendor list, so a tag added to a district site in a hurry surfaces within days rather than at the next external review.
- Weekly crawl
- Checked against approved vendors
- Flagged within days
How a rollout usually goes
Start with the main portal
Put the busiest site live first. It sets the configuration the rest of the estate inherits.
Pull in the known sites
Add the sites communications and IT already track. Each is scanned as it joins, and the first scan is usually where the surprises are.
Find the rest
The sites nobody listed show up in DNS records and analytics. Add them, scan them, and the estate is finally a known quantity.
Hand it to the site owners
Each owner gets their own view and can adjust wording within the bounds you set, while the central configuration still holds.
Start on Professional, not Essential
Essential is enough to be compliant, but Professional is the sensible default across an estate: it sets the consent cookie server-side, so a choice lasts and a resident who visits twice a year is not asked again. Billing is per domain either way, and large estates should start on Enterprise.

Questions from municipal teams
We run dozens of sites. Does the price scale with all that traffic?
No. Billing is per domain, so you pay for the number of sites under management and the traffic across them does not change the figure. That is what stops a busy campaign month from producing a surprise invoice.
Do we have to migrate every site at once?
No. Sites come in one at a time, usually starting with the main portal, and each is scanned as it joins. The estate can be brought in over weeks without a single switchover date.
Can individual site owners still make changes?
Yes, within bounds you set. A site owner can adjust wording and see their own scan results, while the categories and the approved vendor list stay centrally controlled.
What about the old sites nobody visits?
They are covered on the same terms as the busy ones. Because billing is per domain rather than per visitor, an archive with almost no traffic costs the same as a live service, and it still gets a weekly scan and a compliant banner.
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.
