GDPR and Consent Mode v2 compliance with Cookiebot
What is Cookiebot?
Cookiebot is a Google certified Consent Management Platform that provides websites with an easy to integrate and robust solution for ensuring privacy compliance.
In recent years, a combination of tracking cookies and third party scripts being gradually phased out and the demand for users to control the data collected on them has seen many website owners lose sight of crucial analytics data.
Cookiebot provides a compliant solution to allow for marketing and analytics data to be collected from consenting users without compromising on privacy.
Our managed Cookiebot installation service
Why work with Aware Digital?
Over the last 12 month we’ve carried out dozens of Cookiebot installations for a wide range of clients across a diverse array of industries and platforms – including Magento 2 / Adobe Commerce, WordPress and Shopify.
By integrating Cookiebot through Google Tag Manager, we can be fully platform agnostic whilst adhering to your website’s specific requirements.
In most cases, we’ve been able to restore data collected up to around 90% of the levels seen pre-Consent Mode V2 whilst still allowing users to retain control of their data privacy.

Benefits of Cookiebot & Conversion Modelling
Using a CMP such as Cookiebot isn’t just about compliance and adhering to privacy legislation, it also encourages trust from your customers and, when utilised correctly, optimises your data accuracy.
Unlike other CMP solutions on the market, Cookiebot allows you to monitor opt-in / opt-out rates of users who have interacted with your modal and allows you to create a modelling framework to generate a full view of your website activity.
For instance, if you have a 10% opt-out rate, you can take assurance in knowing that 90% of your website activity is being captured and can estimate the full figures accordingly.
Key features of Cookiebot CMP
Cookiebot™ is a Google-certified Consent Management Platform (CMP) that fully complies with the Transparency and Consent Framework (TCF) and supports Google Consent Mode v2.
Beginning in 2024, Google requires the use of Consent Mode for ads personalization, remarketing, and analytics within the EU/EEA and Switzerland.
By implementing Cookiebot’s cookie compliance solution, you can activate Consent Mode to leverage conversion and analytics modelling while minimising the loss of marketing data caused by rejected consent banners.
We can work with you and your team to implement a solution that meets the needs of your website and allows you to capture crucial marketing and analytical data whilst remaining compliant.
