What CookieCrumbs is
CookieCrumbs is a web-based cookie consent tool that automatically blocks cookies and keeps consent records. It supports geographic targeting and advanced Google Consent Mode, but not IAB TCF. The Free plan costs nothing and covers two domains, two team members, up to 100 subpages per month per domain, and 12-month consent-record retention. Pro costs €29.00 per month for 10 domains, 10,000 subpages per month, and 60-month consent-record retention. Scale costs €199.00 per month for 50 domains and 100,000 subpages per month, with fair use above 100 million loads per month. Agency costs €99.00 per month and includes 20 client workspaces, one production domain per workspace, and 10,000 subpages per month per workspace; each further workspace costs €9. The plans are billed monthly. CookieCrumbs lists coverage of 10 websites and is made by a company headquartered in Lübeck, Germany.
