Consently
Create branded cookie banners, auto-scan cookies, generate legal policies, and log consent decisions
What is Consently?
Consently helps website owners comply with cookie and consent regulations by automating several compliance tasks. The tool creates customised cookie banners that match your brand, scans your website to identify cookies automatically, generates privacy and cookie policy documents, and maintains records of user consent decisions. It's built for businesses that need to meet GDPR, CCPA, and similar regulations without managing compliance manually. Rather than handling each aspect separately, Consently combines policy generation, banner creation, and consent logging in one platform.
