ConsentFort is a consent management platform that adds a compliant cookie banner to your website, blocks trackers until visitors opt in, and stores proof of every consent decision. It covers GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, and Google Consent Mode v2, scans your site for cookies automatically, and keeps your banner compliant as laws change. Setup takes one script tag.

ConsentFort intercepts scripts, pixels, and iframes at load time and holds them until the visitor makes a choice. Marketing and analytics tags only fire after opt-in, which is the standard GDPR regulators enforce. You categorize cookies once, and the banner enforces those choices on every page automatically.
The platform ships with prebuilt rules for GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive, CCPA/CPRA including Global Privacy Control signals, LGPD in Brazil, and PIPEDA in Canada. Each ruleset adjusts banner behavior, button wording, and default consent states for the visitor's region, detected by IP geolocation.
Every accept, reject, and change is logged with a timestamp, the banner version shown, and the visitor's region. Records are exportable as CSV for audits or regulator requests, and retained for the period each framework expects.

Under GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive, yes for most sites: you need informed opt-in consent before setting non-essential cookies for EU visitors. CCPA/CPRA works differently: it requires a way to opt out of sale or sharing of personal data rather than prior consent. If your site has visitors from both regions, you need a banner that adapts its behavior by location, which is what a consent management platform does.
Consent Mode v2 is Google's framework that adjusts how Google tags behave based on visitor consent. It adds two required signals, ad_user_data and ad_personalization, on top of the original analytics and ad storage settings. Since March 2024, sites serving EEA traffic need Consent Mode v2 for Google Ads remarketing and audience features to keep working. ConsentFort sends these signals automatically.
Most sites are live in under ten minutes. You add one script tag before your other tags, run the automatic cookie scan, review the categorization, and publish. WordPress sites can use the plugin instead of editing theme files. No developer is required for a standard setup.
The banner script loads asynchronously and is under 30 KB compressed, so it does not block rendering or delay first paint. Because ConsentFort holds heavy marketing tags until consent, many sites actually see faster initial page loads after installing it than they had before. The scanner runs from our servers, so scans never touch your hosting performance either.
You can export your full consent log as CSV at any time, including right before cancellation, and the export includes timestamps, regions, and banner versions for every record. We recommend exporting before you close the account, since records are purged 90 days after cancellation and cannot be recovered after that window.
Yes. ConsentFort works on any platform that lets you add a script tag or install a plugin, which covers essentially every modern site builder. There are dedicated integrations for WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, Squarespace, and Wix, plus a Google Tag Manager template for teams that manage tags centrally. Custom stacks use the standard script.
