Usercentrics CookieBot
What is Usercentrics CookieBot?
Usercentrics CookieBot is a leading Consent Management Platform (CMP) designed to automate a website's compliance with global data privacy regulations such as GDPR, ePrivacy, CCPA, and others. At its core, it is a cloud-based service that scans your website for all types of cookies and tracking technologies (HTTP/JavaScript cookies, HTML5 Local Storage, Pixel tags, Ultrasound Beacons), automatically categorizes them, and generates a detailed report. Based on this scan, CookieBot creates and displays a customizable consent banner on your site, allowing visitors to grant or withdraw their consent for various cookie categories. It's not just a banner, but a comprehensive system that blocks scripts from running until explicit user consent is obtained, ensuring genuine compliance with legal requirements.
How to use Usercentrics CookieBot service in your work?
Integrating CookieBot into your workflow is surprisingly simple. After registering and adding your domain to the dashboard, the service automatically starts scanning. You just need to insert a few lines of JavaScript code into your website's header. After that, a consent banner will appear on the site. Business owners and CTOs can use the CookieBot dashboard to monitor consent statistics, view a full list of detected trackers, and customize the banner's appearance to match the company's branding. For web studios and freelancers, this becomes a standard service when developing sites for clients, ensuring the final product is legally compliant from the outset. You can easily manage consents for multiple client websites from a single account, making it a scalable solution.
What advantages does Usercentrics CookieBot provide and what problems does it solve?
The main advantage of CookieBot is the minimization of legal risks. The service solves the critical task of complying with complex and ever-changing data privacy laws, which helps avoid huge fines, especially under GDPR. Secondly, it helps build trust with users. By transparently informing visitors about what data is collected and for what purposes, you demonstrate respect for their privacy, which positively affects your brand's reputation. Technically, CookieBot removes the headache of manually auditing and managing scripts from the development team — the service does it automatically. It provides granular consent control, allowing users to choose which cookie categories they permit, which is a key requirement of many regulations. In the end, you get peace of mind, customer trust, and an automated tool for one of the most complex challenges of the modern web.
How to integrate Usercentrics CookieBot with other services?
Usercentrics CookieBot is a foundational tool that operates at the website level and therefore interacts with virtually all other services that set cookies. It must be configured to manage scripts from Wix Stores (for tracking sessions and carts), Wix Paid Ads and Google Analytics (for tracking conversions and analytics), and any social media widgets. Integration with Google Tag Manager allows for conditional tag activation based on the consent received from CookieBot, providing maximum control over data collection. The old Wix Cookie Banner is no longer available for new sites.The Usercentrics cookie banner is now an alternative consent solution for Wix and Wix Studio websites.
