Cookiebot treats example.com and www.example.com as the same domain, but it treats a subdomain like shop.example.com as a separate domain that needs its own subscription.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Free plan covers one domain only, with up to 50 subpages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here&#8217;s what the dashboard looks like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fahimai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Cookiebot-Introduction.png\" alt=\"Cookiebot dashboard\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2713 <strong>Checkpoint:<\/strong> Your domain appears with a pending scan status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id='step-3-embed-the-script'  id=\"boomdevs_6\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Embed the Script<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Copy the Cookiebot script and embed it in your HTML.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Install it in the document&#8217;s HEAD-tag, above every other script.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The order matters.

With Consent Mode v2, Google receives a cookieless ping and can model the missing conversions, so your reports keep most of their value even when visitors decline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here&#8217;s what this looks like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fahimai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Cookiebot-Add-ons.png\" alt=\"Cookiebot Add-ons\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2713 <strong>Checkpoint:<\/strong> Consent data starts flowing into your Google tag within hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id='step-3-enable-iab-tcf-if-you-sell-ads'  id=\"boomdevs_30\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Enable IAB TCF If You Sell Ads<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cookiebot supports the IAB TCF 2.4 framework for consent management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">TCF is how ad networks and SSPs <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fahimai.com\/read-ai\" title=\"read\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"175534\">read<\/a> consent.

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Cookiebot<\/strong> is a consent management platform that helps you obtain user consent before tracking starts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Think of it like a doorman for your website&#8217;s trackers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cookiebot by Usercentrics is the full brand name you&#8217;ll see in the dashboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Watch this quick overview:<\/p>\n\n\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Cookiebot Review 2026 | Best Cookie Consent Manager for Websites?\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\"

referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It includes these key features:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Cookie &amp; Tracker Scanner:<\/strong> Automated discovery and classification of cookies and trackers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Domains &amp; Aliases:<\/strong> Group hostnames so one domain slot covers them all.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Banner Implementer:<\/strong> Guided install through HTML, Google Tag Manager or the WordPress plugin.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Advanced Analyzer:<\/strong> Scans gated pages that normal crawls never reach.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Template Editor:<\/strong> Customize the Cookiebot banner layout, colors and copy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Add-ons:<\/strong> Google Consent Mode, IAB TCF 2.4 and other connections.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One dashboard lets you manage user consent across your whole website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It assists with compliance under GDPR, California&#8217;s CCPA\/CPRA, Brazil&#8217;s LGPD, South Africa&#8217;s POPIA and similar privacy laws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those regulations keep shifting, so proper configuration matters more than installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">GDPR needs prior consent, while CCPA leans on opt outs instead. Cookiebot&#8217;s geotargeting handles both from one account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a full review, see our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fahimai.com\/cookiebot\">Cookiebot review<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fahimai.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Cookiebot-Top-Benefits.png\" alt=\"What is Cookiebot\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns229150_a32474-f4, .site .entry-content .wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kt-btns229150_a32474-f4, .wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kb-btns229150_a32474-f4, .site .entry-content .wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kb-btns229150_a32474-f4{margin-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-xxs, 0.5rem);margin-right:var(--global-kb-spacing-xxs, 0.5rem);margin-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-xxs, 0.5rem);margin-left:var(--global-kb-spacing-xxs, 0.5rem);}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn.kb-btns229150_a32474-f4{gap:var(--global-kb-gap-xs, 0.5rem );justify-content:center;align-items:center;}.kt-btns229150_a32474-f4 .kt-button{font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn kb-buttons-wrap kb-btns229150_a32474-f4\"><style>ul.menu .wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn .kb-btn229150_8c5434-d7.kb-button{width:initial;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn .kb-btn229150_8c5434-d7.kb-button{color:var(--global-palette9, #ffffff);background:#ff7700;font-weight:bold;text-transform:uppercase;border-top-left-radius:30px;border-top-right-radius:30px;border-bottom-right-radius:30px;border-bottom-left-radius:30px;border-top-color:var(--global-palette9, #ffffff);border-right-color:var(--global-palette9, #ffffff);border-bottom-color:var(--global-palette9, #ffffff);border-left-color:var(--global-palette9, #ffffff);box-shadow:0px 2px 4px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn .kb-btn229150_8c5434-d7.kb-button:hover, .wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn .kb-btn229150_8c5434-d7.kb-button:focus{color:#fdfdfd;background:#ff7700;border-top-color:var(--global-palette1, #3182CE);border-right-color:var(--global-palette1, #3182CE);border-bottom-color:var(--global-palette1, #3182CE);border-left-color:var(--global-palette1, #3182CE);box-shadow:0px 2px 10px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4);}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn .kb-btn229150_8c5434-d7.kb-button{border-top-color:var(--global-palette9, #ffffff);border-right-color:var(--global-palette9, #ffffff);border-bottom-color:var(--global-palette9, #ffffff);border-left-color:var(--global-palette9, #ffffff);}}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn .kb-btn229150_8c5434-d7.kb-button:hover, .wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn .kb-btn229150_8c5434-d7.kb-button:focus{border-top-color:var(--global-palette1, #3182CE);border-right-color:var(--global-palette1, #3182CE);border-bottom-color:var(--global-palette1, #3182CE);border-left-color:var(--global-palette1, #3182CE);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn .kb-btn229150_8c5434-d7.kb-button{border-top-color:var(--global-palette9, #ffffff);border-right-color:var(--global-palette9, #ffffff);border-bottom-color:var(--global-palette9, #ffffff);border-left-color:var(--global-palette9, #ffffff);}.wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn .kb-btn229150_8c5434-d7.kb-button:hover, .wp-block-kadence-advancedbtn .kb-btn229150_8c5434-d7.kb-button:focus{border-top-color:var(--global-palette1, #3182CE);border-right-color:var(--global-palette1, #3182CE);border-bottom-color:var(--global-palette1, #3182CE);border-left-color:var(--global-palette1, #3182CE);}}<\/style><a class=\"kb-button kt-button button kb-btn229150_8c5434-d7 kt-btn-size-xlarge kt-btn-width-type-auto wp-block-button__link kb-btn-global-inherit kt-btn-has-text-true kt-btn-has-svg-true wp-block-kadence-singlebtn kb-preset--theme-base\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fahimai.com\/get\/cookiebot\"><span class=\"kt-btn-inner-text\">Try Cookiebot For free<\/span><span class=\"kb-svg-icon-wrap kb-svg-icon-fas_arrow-right kt-btn-icon-side-right\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\"  fill=\"currentColor\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"  aria-hidden=\"true\"><path d=\"M190.5 66.9l22.2-22.2c9.4-9.4 24.6-9.4 33.9 0L441 239c9.4 9.4 9.4 24.6 0 33.9L246.6 467.3c-9.4 9.4-24.6 9.4-33.9 0l-22.2-22.2c-9.5-9.5-9.3-25 .4-34.3L311.4 296H24c-13.3 0-24-10.7-24-24v-32c0-13.3 10.7-24 24-24h287.4L190.9 101.2c-9.8-9.3-10-24.8-.4-34.3z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id='cookiebot-pricing'  id=\"boomdevs_35\" id=\"cookiebot-pricing\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cookiebot Pricing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here&#8217;s what Cookiebot costs in 2026.

From there, pricing is set by the number of subpages the scanner finds on each domain: Small is $20, Medium $43, Large $70 and Extra Large $120 per domain per month, in USD before VAT. Each domain and subdomain is billed separately, and your tier upgrades automatically when your page count grows past the limit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top:25px;margin-bottom:10px;font-size:25px;font-weight:600\">Can I use Cookiebot for free?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. The Free plan covers one domain with up to 50 subpages, with manual scans and a working consent banner. You won&#8217;t be able to use your own branding or logo, the banner runs in one language, and cookie blocking is manual rather than automatic. For a small brochure site that&#8217;s workable. For anything running ads or analytics at scale, the manual blocking is the limitation that pushes people to Premium Lite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top:25px;margin-bottom:10px;font-size:25px;font-weight:600\">What is Cookiebot and what does it do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cookiebot is a consent management platform. It scans your site for cookies and trackers, displays a consent banner to your website visitors, blocks non-essential ones until consent is given, and publishes a cookie declaration. It also stores a log of each consent so you can prove compliance later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top:25px;margin-bottom:10px;font-size:25px;font-weight:600\">Is Cookiebot necessary?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your site uses analytics, advertising pixels, or any third-party tracking and serves visitors in the EU, UK, California, or other regulated markets, you need a consent management solution. So the <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/fahimai.com\/question-ai\" title=\"question\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"175538\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">question<\/a> is which one. A basic banner with no enforcement behind it doesn&#8217;t satisfy GDPR, ePrivacy, or CCPA requirements. What regulators and plaintiffs check for is whether tracking scripts actually waited for consent before firing. Cookiebot by Usercentrics handles that automatically, which is why it&#8217;s worth using over a banner-only solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top:25px;margin-bottom:10px;font-size:25px;font-weight:600\">Does Cookiebot work with Google Analytics 4 and Google Ads?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. Cookiebot is a Google-certified CMP and supports Consent Mode v2, which is what Google requires for EU traffic in Ads and GA4. Enable it under Add-ons and Google will receive consent signals for ad_storage, analytics_storage, ad_user_data and ad_personalization without any custom tagging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top:25px;margin-bottom:10px;font-size:25px;font-weight:600\">Does Cookiebot slow down my website?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The script is small and loads asynchronously, so the <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fahimai.com\/impact\" title=\"impact\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"175536\">impact<\/a> is minor. The one thing to avoid is loading it late: it has to be the first script in the head to block anything, so don&#8217;t defer it or move it to the footer in the name of speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n  \"@graph\": [\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"HowTo\",\n      \"@id\": \"https:\/\/www.fahimai.com\/how-to-use-cookiebot\/#howto-getting-started\",\n      \"name\": \"How to Get Started with Cookiebot\",\n      \"description\": \"Create a Cookiebot account, add your domain and embed the script in the head\",\n      \"totalTime\": \"PT3M\",\n      \"step\": [\n        {\"@type\": \"HowToStep\", \"name\": \"Create Your Account\", \"text\": \"Go to the Cookiebot website and sign up.

From there, pricing is set by the number of subpages the scanner finds on each domain: Small is $20, Medium $43, Large $70 and Extra Large $120 per domain per month, in USD before VAT. Each domain and subdomain is billed separately, and your tier upgrades automatically when your page count grows past the limit.\"}},\n        {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Can I use Cookiebot for free?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Yes. The Free plan covers one domain with up to 50 subpages, with manual scans and a working consent banner. You won't be able to use your own branding or logo, the banner runs in one language, and cookie blocking is manual rather than automatic. For a small brochure site that's workable. For anything running ads or analytics at scale, the manual blocking is the limitation that pushes people to Premium Lite.\"}},\n        {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"What is Cookiebot and what does it do?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Cookiebot is a consent management platform. It scans your site for cookies and trackers, displays a consent banner to your website visitors, blocks non-essential ones until consent is given, and publishes a cookie declaration. It also stores a log of each consent so you can prove compliance later.\"}},\n        {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Is Cookiebot necessary?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"If your site uses analytics, advertising pixels, or any third-party tracking and serves visitors in the EU, UK, California, or other regulated markets, you need a consent management solution. A basic banner with no enforcement behind it doesn't satisfy GDPR, ePrivacy, or CCPA requirements. What regulators and plaintiffs check for is whether tracking scripts actually waited for consent before firing. Cookiebot by Usercentrics handles that automatically.\"}},\n        {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Does Cookiebot work with Google Analytics 4 and Google Ads?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Yes. Cookiebot is a Google-certified CMP and supports Consent Mode v2, which is what Google requires for EU traffic in Ads and GA4. Enable it under Add-ons and Google will receive consent signals for ad_storage, analytics_storage, ad_user_data and ad_personalization without any custom tagging.\"}},\n        {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Does Cookiebot slow down my website?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"The script is small and loads asynchronously, so the impact is minor. The one thing to avoid is loading it late: it has to be the first script in the head to block anything, so don't defer it or move it to the footer in the name of speed.\"}},\n        {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Why is Cookiebot so expensive?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Cookiebot prices by site size rather than by feature. Every Premium tier includes the same tools, but the rate rises with the subpage count the scanner finds, from $10 up to $120 per domain per month. Each domain and subdomain is a separate subscription, so a large multi-site setup adds up quickly.\"}},\n        {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"What is Cookiebot.com used for?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Cookiebot.com is where you create an account, add your domain, run cookie scans, customize the consent banner, enable Google Consent Mode and manage user consent records for your website.\"}},\n        {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"How to get rid of Cookiebot?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Remove the Cookiebot script from your HTML head, or deactivate the Usercentrics Cookiebot plugin in WordPress.
