CMP Selector Tool
Find the right consent management platform for your needs based on your specific requirements and constraints.
Choosing a consent management platform is one of the first decisions you make when implementing GDPR cookie compliance. The wrong choice means re-implementing consent banners, migrating consent records, and re-testing tag firing across your entire site. This tool helps you avoid that by matching your specific requirements to the CMPs that actually fit.
Answer questions about your site type, traffic volume, required features (Consent Mode v2, IAB TCF, multi-language, auto-scanning), and budget. The tool filters our vendor database and returns a ranked shortlist with feature comparisons and current pricing. All recommendations are based on our published scoring methodology, and no vendor pays for placement.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a consent management platform (CMP)?
- A CMP is software that displays a cookie consent banner on your website, collects visitor consent choices, and signals those choices to your analytics and advertising tags. Under GDPR and ePrivacy regulations, sites targeting EU visitors need a lawful way to obtain and record consent before setting non-essential cookies.
- How do I choose between Cookiebot, Usercentrics, and iubenda?
- It depends on your site type, traffic volume, and feature needs. Cookiebot is strong on automatic cookie scanning and IAB TCF support. Usercentrics offers deep Google Consent Mode v2 integration and multi-domain management. iubenda bundles consent management with privacy policy and cookie policy generation, making it a good choice for smaller sites that want an all-in-one compliance solution.
- Do free CMP plans work for GDPR compliance?
- Some CMPs offer free tiers that are technically compliant for small sites. However, free plans typically limit the number of sessions, domains, or languages. For production use with EU traffic, most sites will need a paid plan to get features like automatic cookie scanning, consent logging, and IAB TCF support.
- Does my CMP need to support Google Consent Mode v2?
- If you use Google Ads or GA4, yes. Google requires Consent Mode v2 signals from sites serving EU users. Without CMP integration, you would need to implement consent signaling manually via gtag or GTM, which is error-prone. Most major CMPs now support Consent Mode v2 natively.
