When it comes to cookie consent for Craft CMS, most solutions fall short.


They rely on third-party platforms, limit customization, or add unnecessary complexity to your build. We ran into these issues across multiple projects - and decided to create a better way.
 

Cookie Buddy was built to give teams a native, flexible, and developer-friendly approach to cookie consent management in Craft CMS. 
Here is the list of problems we are addressing:

  • Avoiding external scripts that slow pages down or conflict with custom setups
  • Providing full design control over banner style, layout, and messaging
  • Supporting Google Consent Mode v2—without needing extra code or plugins
  • Giving marketers an easy way to manage cookie settings within Craft’s control panel

If you're looking for a smoother way to handle cookie consent for Craft CMS sites, Cookie Buddy was built for exactly that.

What Is cookie consent and why does it matter?

Cookie consent is a user’s permission for a website to store or retrieve data on their browser—usually for analytics, advertising, or personalization. It’s a legal requirement in many regions and a key part of building user trust. When you ask for cookie consent properly, you not only respect privacy but also maintain transparency in how user data is handled.
