Consently vs. CookiePal
Feature-by-Feature Comparison
Why Choose
Consently over CookiePal
Certified IAB TCF 2.2 Compliance
Verified certification for programmatic advertising, not just compatibility claims.
CookiePal describes itself as "compatible with IAB TCF standard" without official certification. Consently holds verified IAB TCF 2.2 certification listed in the IAB's certified CMP directory. For publishers running programmatic ads, this distinction determines whether ad partners accept your consent signals. Configure IAB TCF settings with confidence in your certification status.
Generate Terms & Conditions Automatically
Three policy types from one platform, including T&C that CookiePal lacks entirely.
CookiePal generates Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy documents but offers no Terms & Conditions generator. Consently creates all three policy types from guided questionnaires. Complete your Terms & Conditions covering service agreements, liability, dispute resolution, and user obligations. Stop using separate tools or paying lawyers for standard business terms.
Multi-Domain Plans with Bundled Pricing
Manage multiple sites under one plan instead of paying per-domain fees.
CookiePal requires separate plans for each domain with individual billing. Consently bundles domains: Premium covers 5 sites at $199/year, Enterprise covers 10 sites at $499/year. While CookiePal's per-domain pricing starts lower, Consently's bundled approach provides unified dashboard management and simplified billing. Agencies managing client portfolios benefit from one invoice covering all sites.
Flexible Scan Scheduling Options
Choose daily, weekly, or monthly automated scans plus on-demand scanning.
CookiePal offers weekly scheduled scans only. Consently provides three scheduling options: daily for high-change sites, weekly for standard monitoring, or monthly for stable environments. Trigger on-demand scans anytime when deploying new features or adding third-party tools. Configure cookie scanning frequency based on your site's update cadence.
Visual Banner Customization
Theme controls, color pickers, and live preview without CSS editing.
Both platforms offer banner customization, but Consently provides deeper visual controls through its no-code editor. Choose from light, dark, or custom themes. Adjust colors for background, text, buttons, and borders using hex codes or color pickers. Design your banner with desktop, tablet, and mobile preview modes before publishing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Consently have a free tier like CookiePal?

For multi-domain setups, costs converge: CookiePal at $150/year for 5 domains (5 × $30) versus Consently Premium at $199/year for 5 domains with unified management. Review pricing plans to compare your specific requirements.
Can I migrate from CookiePal to Consently easily?
Consently provides fresh setup rather than direct migration. Remove the CookiePal script, configure your Consently banner, run a cookie scan, and generate new policies within 20 minutes. Most teams complete full deployment during the 14-day trial. The quick start guide walks through ea ch step.
Why choose Consently over CookiePal's lower pricing?
Choose Consently for certified IAB TCF 2.2 compliance, critical to programmatic publishers, Terms & Conditions generation, CookiePal lacks, flexible scan scheduling (daily/weekly/monthly versus weekly only), and bundled multi-domain management. Choose CookiePal for lower single-domain costs, a permanent free tier, and native Shopify app installation.
Does Consently support Google Consent Mode v2 like CookiePal?
Yes. Consently supports Google Consent Mode v2 alongside IAB TCF v2.2, ensuring Google tags receive accurate consent states after user choice. Consently is Google-certified for Additional Consent (AC v2), with Google CMP Partner listing currently pending approval. CookiePal holds full Google CMP Partner certification. Both platforms communicate consent signals to Google Analytics and Google Ads automatically.
Does Consently work with Shopify?
Consently installs on Shopify via script tag in your theme settings rather than a native app. CookiePal offers a dedicated Shopify app for one-click installation. Consently's script method requires copying one code snippet but works identically across all platforms. Install on Shopify in under 5 minute s.
Why does IAB TCF certification matter versus compatibility?
IAB TCF certification means the CMP passed official IAB audits and appears in their certified partner directory. "Compatibility" suggests technical integration without verified compliance. Ad networks and DSPs increasingly require certified CMPs for programmatic bidding. Consently's certification ensures your consent signals meet industry verification standards.
Does Consently support as many languages as CookiePal?
CookiePal supports 40+ languages via auto-translation. Consently supports 25+ languages with manual translation controls. Both platforms display banners in visitors' detected language. Consently prioritizes translation accuracy over volume, allowing full content customization per language. Add languages and edit translations directly in the dashboard.
