Cookie Information vs FlowConsent

What is a CMP and Why Do You Need One?

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

• Display a consent banner compliant with legal requirements
• Collect and record user choices
• Block cookies before obtaining consent
• Manage consent proofs (consent registry)
• Facilitate user rights (access, modification, deletion)

Without a CMP, your website risks sanctions of up to €20 million or 4% of global turnover. Beyond 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 analyze several concrete scenarios:

Scenario 1: Small Site (20,000 sessions/month, 200 pages)

• FlowConsent: FREE (included in free plan up to 25,000 sessions)
• Cookie Information: €19/month (Cookie Banner, 200 pages < 500)
• FlowConsent Savings: €19/month (100%) or €228/year

Scenario 2: Medium Site (50,000 sessions/month, 800 pages)

• FlowConsent: €14.99/month (Pro plan)
• Cookie Information: €39/month (Cookie Banner, 800 pages > 500)
• FlowConsent Savings: €24/month (62%) or €288/year

Scenario 3: Large Site (100,000 sessions/month, 2,000 pages)

• FlowConsent: €14.99/month (still Pro plan)
• Cookie Information: €39/month (Cookie Banner, 2,000 pages < 5,000)
• FlowConsent Savings: €24/month (62%) or €288/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: €35/month (Cookie Banner + Analytics with Piwik PRO)
• FlowConsent Savings: €20/month (57%) if keeping your current analytics
• Difference: +€20/month to get integrated 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 Pro plan)
• Cookie Information: €19/month × 3 domains = €57/month
• FlowConsent Savings: €42/month (74%) or €504/year

Scenario 6: Very Large Site (200,000 sessions/month, 8,000 pages)

• FlowConsent: Custom quote (Enterprise plan) - estimated €30-50/month

Over one year, FlowConsent savings are substantial:

• Medium site (800 pages): €288 saved
• Large site (2000 pages): €288 saved
• Agency 3 sites: €504 saved

Sessions vs Sub-pages: What's the Difference?

The difference between pricing models is fundamental:

Sub-pages (Cookie Information)

• Counts total number of pages on your site
• Example: site with 800 pages = Larger websites plan at €39/month
• If you add 100 new pages and exceed 500, you move to higher tier
• Very dependent on your site structure
• Penalizes content-rich sites (blogs, media, documentation)

Sessions (FlowConsent)

• Counts user visits, independent of page count
• Example: site with 500 or 5,000 pages = same price if same traffic
• Site structure has no impact on price
• More predictable and favorable for content-rich sites
• Price based on actual usage, not 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 requires Larger plan at €39/month
• FlowConsent saves €24/month = €288/year

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

• FlowConsent: 20,000 sessions = FREE (< 25,000 sessions)
• Cookie Information: 600 pages requires Larger plan at €39/month
• FlowConsent saves €39/month = €468/year
