CookieYes is a consent management platform (CMP) designed to help websites and eCommerce businesses manage cookie consent, privacy preferences and compliance requirements across different markets.
The platform provides tools to display and customise cookie consent banners, automatically scan websites for cookies, block third-party scripts until consent is obtained, maintain consent records and integrate consent signals with analytics and advertising platforms.
CookieYes supports major privacy frameworks and technologies, including GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, LGPD, Google Consent Mode v2 and IAB TCF v2.3. It is also a Google-certified CMP, making it particularly relevant for businesses running Google Analytics, Google Ads and other Google marketing technologies.
Cookie Consent Management
At the core of CookieYes is its cookie consent management functionality.
Businesses can create and customise cookie banners to match their website’s branding, including the layout, colours, text and styling. The platform also supports geo-targeting, allowing businesses to adapt consent experiences based on the visitor’s location and applicable privacy requirements.
CookieYes supports more than 170 languages, with automatic translations available for more than 40 languages. Visitors can also revisit their preferences and withdraw or modify consent after their initial choice.
This makes CookieYes particularly useful for eCommerce brands operating across multiple countries or regions where privacy and consent requirements may differ.
Automatic Cookie Scanning
CookieYes can automatically scan a website to identify cookies and tracking technologies.
The scanning functionality helps businesses discover cookies being used by their websites, categorise them and keep their cookie inventory updated. This can be particularly valuable for eCommerce stores with multiple marketing, analytics, advertising and customer experience tools installed.
For example, an eCommerce website may use Google Analytics, Google Ads, Meta Pixel, marketing automation platforms, chat tools and other third-party services. CookieYes can help identify these technologies and incorporate them into the consent management process.
Automatic Script Blocking
One of CookieYes’s most important technical capabilities is automatic cookie and script blocking.
The platform can block third-party scripts such as Google Analytics and Meta Pixel until the visitor provides the appropriate consent. Businesses can also manually specify scripts that should be blocked, providing additional control over how tracking technologies behave.
This is particularly important for eCommerce websites because marketing and analytics tags are often deployed through multiple systems, including Google Tag Manager.
CookieYes can work with Google Tag Manager to create consent-based triggers, helping ensure that tags are activated according to the visitor’s consent choices.
Google Consent Mode v2
CookieYes is a Google-certified CMP supporting Google Consent Mode v2, making this one of its most important features for eCommerce businesses using Google’s advertising and analytics ecosystem.
Google Consent Mode allows websites to communicate users’ consent choices to Google tags and adjust their behaviour accordingly.
CookieYes supports both:
- Basic Consent Mode
- Advanced Consent Mode
With Basic Consent Mode, Google tags only fire when the relevant consent has been granted.
With Advanced Consent Mode, Google tags can operate before consent using cookieless pings, while the consent state is updated according to the user’s choice. This can help provide additional signals for behavioural and conversion modelling while respecting consent settings.
For eCommerce brands running Google Ads and GA4, this integration can therefore help connect privacy management with measurement and advertising performance.
Google Tag Manager Integration
CookieYes integrates with Google Tag Manager to help businesses manage consent-dependent tags and scripts.
The platform provides a CookieYes GTM template and documentation for configuring consent states, blocking third-party scripts and integrating Google Consent Mode.
This makes CookieYes particularly suitable for eCommerce websites where analytics, advertising and marketing technologies are centrally managed through GTM.
It can help create a workflow such as:
Visitor arrives → CookieYes displays consent banner → Visitor chooses preferences → Consent state is communicated → Relevant tags/scripts are allowed or blocked
IAB TCF v2.3
CookieYes supports the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework (TCF) v2.3, which is particularly relevant for publishers and websites operating with advertising technology vendors.
The framework provides a standardised way to communicate users’ consent preferences to participating vendors and advertising technology providers. CookieYes combines TCF support with its consent management functionality to help businesses manage more complex advertising consent requirements.
Consent Logs & Proof of Consent
CookieYes provides a consent logging system that records users’ consent choices.
Consent records can include information such as:
- Consent status
- Date and time
- Country
- Anonymised IP address
- Consent preferences
Businesses can monitor consent rates through the CookieYes dashboard and export consent records as CSV files when required.
For eCommerce businesses, maintaining a reliable consent record is particularly useful when multiple tracking, advertising and analytics technologies are operating across the customer journey.
Privacy & Cookie Policy Generation
CookieYes also provides tools for generating cookie and privacy policies.
The platform can generate cookie policies based on the website’s cookie scan and update the policy as the cookie inventory changes. Policies can be published in HTML or plain-text format and linked directly from the consent banner.
This helps reduce the manual work involved in maintaining privacy documentation as websites evolve and new marketing technologies are introduced.
WooCommerce Integration
CookieYes has a WordPress plugin, making it suitable for WooCommerce stores because WooCommerce operates within the WordPress ecosystem.
The plugin allows WordPress websites to implement CookieYes’s consent management functionality without requiring the business to manually add the complete CookieYes implementation to the website.
The WordPress plugin also includes built-in support for Google Consent Mode v2, allowing website owners to configure Consent Mode directly through the CookieYes integration.
For a WooCommerce store, CookieYes can therefore help manage consent for technologies commonly used throughout the eCommerce stack, including:
- Google Analytics
- Google Ads
- Google Tag Manager
- Meta Pixel
- Marketing and advertising scripts
- Analytics tools
- Third-party embedded services
The result is a consent layer that sits between the website visitor and the various tracking and marketing technologies operating on the store.

Why Choose CookieYes?
CookieYes is particularly valuable for eCommerce businesses that need to balance privacy compliance with digital marketing and analytics requirements.
Instead of treating cookie consent as a simple banner, CookieYes provides a broader consent management layer capable of scanning the website, identifying cookies, blocking tracking technologies, recording consent and communicating consent signals to platforms such as Google Analytics and Google Ads.
Its Google-certified CMP status and support for Google Consent Mode v2 make it particularly relevant to eCommerce businesses operating in the European Economic Area and other markets where consent requirements have a direct impact on advertising and analytics.
For WooCommerce businesses, the WordPress integration makes implementation relatively straightforward, while the combination of CookieYes, Google Tag Manager and Consent Mode can provide a structured approach to managing the relationship between user consent, tracking, analytics and paid media.
Overall, CookieYes is best suited to businesses looking for a scalable cookie consent and privacy management solution that integrates compliance requirements with the technical needs of modern analytics and marketing stacks.
