Cookie Information vs FlowConsent: which CMP to choose in 2026?

Our verdict: for most websites (SMEs, startups, agencies, e-commerce), FlowConsent offers the best value for money, with savings of 58% to 100%. Cookie Information is interesting if you need built-in advanced analytics and are willing to pay for a CMP + analytics bundle.

What is a CMP and why do you need one?

A Consent Management Platform (CMP) is an essential tool for complying with the GDPR and other privacy regulations (ePrivacy, CCPA, LGPD). It allows you to:

• Display a consent banner that meets legal requirements
• Collect and record user choices
• Block cookies before consent is obtained
• Manage proof of consent (consent log)
• Facilitate user rights (access, modification, deletion)

Without a CMP, your website risks fines of up to €20 million or 4% of global turnover. Beyond the legal aspects, a good CMP also helps maintain your marketing performance by optimizing consent rates.

Comparative pricing analysis

To better understand the financial impact of each solution, let's look at a few concrete scenarios:

Scenario 1: small site (20,000 sessions/month, 200 pages)

• FlowConsent: free (included in the free plan up to 25,000 sessions)
• Cookie Information: €19.50/month (Cookie Banner, 200 pages, under the 500 limit)
• FlowConsent savings: €19.50/month (100%), or €234/year

Scenario 2: medium site (50,000 sessions/month, 800 pages)

• FlowConsent: €14.99/month (Pro plan)
• Cookie Information: €40/month (Cookie Banner, 800 pages, over the 500 limit)
• FlowConsent savings: €25/month (63%), or €300/year

Scenario 3: large site (100,000 sessions/month, 2,000 pages)

• FlowConsent: €14.99/month (still the Pro plan)
• Cookie Information: €40/month (Cookie Banner, 2,000 pages, under the 5,000 limit)
• FlowConsent savings: €25/month (63%), or €300/year

Scenario 4: site with analytics needs (50,000 sessions/month, 800 pages)

• FlowConsent: €14.99/month + your current analytics solution (e.g. free Google Analytics)
• Cookie Information: €36/month (Cookie Banner + Analytics with Piwik PRO)
• FlowConsent savings: €21/month (58%) if you keep your current analytics
• Difference: +€21/month to get built-in Piwik PRO with Cookie Information

Scenario 5: agency with 3 sites (30,000 sessions each, 500 pages each)

• FlowConsent: €14.99/month (3 domains included in the Pro plan)
• Cookie Information: €19.50/month × 3 domains = €58.50/month
• FlowConsent savings: €43.50/month (74%), or €522/year

Scenario 6: very large site (200,000 sessions/month, 8,000 pages)

• FlowConsent: custom quote (Enterprise plan, price based on traffic)
• Cookie Information: €61/month (Essential plan, up to 15,000 URLs)
• FlowConsent savings: depend on your quote

Over one year, FlowConsent savings are substantial:

• Small site (200 pages): €234 saved (free vs €234/year)
• Medium site (800 pages): €300 saved
• Large site (2,000 pages): €300 saved
• Agency with 3 sites: €522 saved

Sessions vs sub-pages: what's the difference?

The difference between the two pricing models is fundamental:

Sub-pages (Cookie Information)

• Counts the total number of pages on your site
• Example: a site with 800 pages = Larger websites plan at €40/month
• If you add 100 new pages and go over 500, you move up a tier
• Highly dependent on the structure of your site
• Penalizes content-rich sites (blogs, media, documentation)

Sessions (FlowConsent)

• Counts user visits, regardless of page count
• Example: a site with 500 or 5,000 pages = same price for the same traffic
• The structure of your site has no impact on the price
• More predictable and better suited to content-rich sites
• Price based on actual usage, not on site size

Concrete example 1: a blog with 1,500 articles receiving 40,000 visitors/month:

• FlowConsent: 40,000 sessions = €14.99/month (Pro plan)
• Cookie Information: 1,500 pages require the Larger plan at €40/month
• FlowConsent saves €25/month, or €300/year

Concrete example 2: an e-commerce site with 600 products receiving 20,000 visitors/month:

• FlowConsent: 20,000 sessions = free (under 25,000 sessions)
• Cookie Information: 600 pages require the Larger plan at €40/month
• FlowConsent saves €40/month, or €480/year

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between sessions and sub-pages?

A session is a complete visit by a user to your site, however many pages they view. A sub-page is a distinct page of your website. For example, a blog with 2,000 articles contains 2,000 sub-pages, but may only have 40,000 sessions per month if each visitor reads just 2 or 3 articles. With FlowConsent, you pay based on actual traffic in sessions, while with Cookie Information you pay based on the size of your site in sub-pages. For content-rich sites such as blogs, media or documentation, FlowConsent's model is generally much more advantageous, because the number of pages doesn't affect the price. A site with 500 pages or 5,000 pages pays the same price at FlowConsent if its traffic is the same.

Are both solutions truly GDPR compliant?

Yes. Both FlowConsent and Cookie Information fully comply with the GDPR, the ePrivacy directive and the CNIL recommendations. They record proof of consent, host data in Europe and respect all user rights, including access, modification and deletion. Cookie Information also offers IAB TCF certification, which is coming soon at FlowConsent, and WCAG 2.2 accessibility, which FlowConsent does not offer. Both platforms support Google Consent Mode v2. Cookie Information also offers extended support for CCPA, LGPD and other international regulations. What sets Cookie Information's Analytics offer apart is that Piwik PRO's anonymous tracking is also GDPR compliant, allowing data to be collected lawfully even before cookie consent is obtained.

Is Cookie Information's Cookie Banner + Analytics offer worth the extra cost?

It depends on your current analytics needs. The Cookie Banner + Analytics offer at €36 per month includes Piwik PRO, a professional privacy-first analytics solution that can recover up to 4 times more sessions through anonymous tracking, even without cookies, and attribute up to 98% of traffic. If you don't have an analytics solution yet, or you're looking for a GDPR-compliant European alternative to Google Analytics, this offer can be interesting. However, if you already use the free Google Analytics or another analytics tool that suits you, FlowConsent at €14.99 per month saves you €21 per month, or €252 per year, while you keep your current analytics. The choice depends on your situation: do you need to replace your analytics with a privacy-first solution, or are you happy with your current one?

Can I use FlowConsent without Google Tag Manager?

Absolutely. It's actually one of FlowConsent's main advantages over many competitors. You install it by simply adding a unique script to your site's header, without Google Tag Manager or any other tag management system. Google Consent Mode v2 is turned on directly in the FlowConsent dashboard with a simple toggle, without any manual configuration of consent parameters or wait times. Cookie Information can also be installed without GTM by adding its script directly, and offers native plugins for WordPress, Drupal and other CMSs that simplify installation further. Both solutions work without GTM, but FlowConsent makes it particularly quick and easy with its 10-minute setup.

How much does each solution really cost per year?

The annual cost varies a lot depending on your type of site and your analytics needs. For a small site with 20,000 monthly sessions and 200 pages, FlowConsent costs nothing at all, as it's covered by the free plan, while Cookie Information costs €234 per year with the Cookie Banner at €19.50 per month: 100% savings with FlowConsent. For a medium site with 50,000 monthly sessions and 800 pages, FlowConsent costs €179.88 per year with the Pro plan, while Cookie Information costs €480 per year with the Cookie Banner at €40 per month: €300 saved per year with FlowConsent, which is 63% cheaper. If you choose Cookie Information's Cookie Banner + Analytics offer at €36 per month, the annual cost is €432, still €252 more than FlowConsent, but you get built-in Piwik PRO, which may justify the difference if you're looking for a privacy-first analytics solution.

What's the best choice for a blog or content site with many articles?

For a blog or content site with many articles, FlowConsent is clearly the better choice, because its session-based pricing doesn't penalize sites with many pages. For example, a blog with 1,500 articles and 40,000 visitors per month costs €14.99 per month on FlowConsent's Pro plan, because only sessions count. With Cookie Information, 1,500 pages would put you on the Larger websites plan at a minimum of €40 per month, 2.7 times more expensive. The gap widens further for large blogs: with 3,000 articles and 60,000 monthly visitors, you stay at €14.99 per month with FlowConsent, versus a minimum of €40 per month with Cookie Information, a difference of €300 per year. Those savings can be reinvested in content creation, promoting your blog or improving your site.
