GDPR-proof cookie consent
GDPR-proof cookie consent, at the lowest price.
One small script: GDPR-ready consent with a real audit trail and granular per-category choice, in five languages. Live in minutes on any CMS, styled to match your brand. One flat price per site, and if you find a comparable manager for less, we beat that price by 10 percent.
The terms, stated plainly
-
One script. Zero dependencies.
A single ES5 file that runs everywhere, injects its own styling, and calls no third-party servers. Your visitors' data never leaves your page to ask whether it may be collected.
-
No dark patterns.
Accept and decline carry equal weight. Granular per-category toggles, a re-open link for changed minds, and re-consent when your policy actually changes. Consent that would hold up in a conversation, not just in court.
-
Proof, not promises.
Every fresh decision gets a unique consent ID and a standardised audit record you can log to your own endpoint. Built for GDPR Article 7: the burden of proof is yours, so the receipts are too.
-
Speaks five languages.
English, Dutch, German, Spanish and French built in, with full text overrides if you would rather phrase things your own way.
-
Configured in minutes.
A config generator produces your settings and embed snippet. Google Tag Manager integration sets consent defaults to denied before anything loads.
-
The lowest price, guaranteed.
A flat price per site. No pageview meters, no subpage limits, no features held hostage in higher plans. Your traffic growing is good news, not a billing event. Find a comparable paid consent manager for less, and we beat that price by 10 percent. In writing. Full terms in Article IV.

PlainConsent is made by Bart Knijnenberg. It stays small on purpose, and it ships like it matters: every change passes a full test suite, an independent security review and a mechanical quality gate before release. No exceptions.
The price, in plain sight
Every plan has every feature: unlimited pageviews, unlimited subpages, all languages, the audit trail, your own colours and wording, the works. Plans differ in exactly one thing: how many sites you run. Start with 14 days free, no card tricks.
We beat any comparable price by 10 percent. Find a paid consent manager with what we include as standard, for less, and we go 10 percent under it.
Down to a floor of €3 a month. We never price below €3. If 10 percent under their price would be less than that, you pay €3.
What "comparable" means. A paid manager with GDPR consent and an audit record, granular per-category choice, Google Consent Mode, and no per-pageview or per-subpage metering. Free plans, trials, lifetime deals and bundles do not count.
How to claim. Send us the competitor's public price, a link or a dated quote, and we apply it to your next invoice.
For as long as you stay. The promise holds for the life of your subscription. One adjustment per billing period. Prices in euros.
A few fair questions
Isn't there a free cookie banner?
Yes, and for a simple site a free tool can be enough. The catch is usually in the details: free tiers tend to limit you to one domain or a fixed number of subpages, put the vendor's name on your banner, and keep the consent record or its export behind a paid plan. With PlainConsent the proof, the five languages and your own branding are included from the first euro, at a flat price with no per-pageview meter. If a free tool covers what you need, use it. If you want provable consent that looks like your own brand, that is us.
Do I even need this if I do not track anything?
If your site sets no non-essential cookies, you may not need a consent banner at all, and we will happily tell you so. PlainConsent is for when you do run analytics or marketing tags and have to ask first, then prove you asked.
