Finding out your cookie banner has gaps shouldn’t take an audit.
Our new Configuration Health Checker, now available for Cookiebot, gives you an instant risk score, plain-language explanations and a fix for every flagged setting.
Find it under Cookies & Reports brnw.ch/21x6ycd
Your cookie banner doesn't have to take over the screen to do its job.
Cookiebot's new Compact Banner is smaller on screen, but not smaller on choice.
Accept, reject and manage preferences all get equal weight.
Give your homepage some breathing room. 👇

ALT Blog graphic labeled "Blog" with Cookiebot by Usercentrics logo. Text reads: "Cookiebot's new compact banner: a smaller footprint for opt-in consent," with a "Read more" button. Illustration shows a browser window with a smaller consent banner overlay and a rocket icon, on a blue background.
Most privacy fines aren't accidents, they're just the result of someone deciding it was cheaper to take the risk than fix the problem.
Companies are selling their employees' Slack messages, emails and documents to AI labs. Offers range from $100,000 to $2 million, priced by the terabyte.
The employees who wrote those messages are rarely told and rarely paid. Neither are the customers on the other side of those email threads, who never had any relationship with the buyer at all.
The consent people gave when they joined a company was for doing their jobs. Nobody agreed to have their messages sold to train AI, and yet...
Privacy doesn't slow innovation down. It gives teams the confidence to move faster, knowing the data they're using is consented and safe
Regulations across the EU and UK are tightening around age checks before tracking starts.
We just built that into Usercentrics CMP. A self-declaration gate that runs before content loads, before consent and before any data is collected.
Available for any website operating in the EU and UK. And if you work in gambling, adult content, alcohol or tobacco, this one was made with you in mind.
See how it works and what regulators expect 👉

Most CIOs can measure what AI saves them. Far fewer measure what mishandling data in AI costs them in lost customers.
Six class action lawsuits have been filed in California alleging websites kept tracking users even after they opted out via cookie banners.
Having a consent banner isn’t the same as honoring what people click on it.
That distinction is exactly what regulators and plaintiffs are now arguing in court.

Do you think being a local company earns you extra trust with your own customers? In Spain, it doesn't 🫠

The moment AI can actually DO things for you, not just tell you how, is here. Recent research shows that consumers aren’t ready for it yet, as 53% of the people surveyed said they wouldn't let an AI agent make purchases on their behalf under any circumstances. Even though they'd accept every step before that.
It turns out saying you trust AI and trusting AI to decide for you are two very different things.
If it takes more clicks to decline data tracking than to accept it, you're not measuring trust. You're measuring who gave up trying to say no.
Disney paid USD 2.75 million for mishandling data subject requests. General Motors paid USD 12.75 million. Most teams are still managing those requests with an inbox and a spreadsheet.
We just changed that: Usercentrics Data Subject Request (DSR) is now live on all paid plans. A verified request form built directly into your Consent Management Platform (CMP). No new vendor, no integration, no added cost and under ten minutes to set up.
People don't distrust AI because it's too capable.
They distrust it because they don't know if it can be stopped, corrected or held accountable when something goes wrong.
Building those safeguards in from the start isn't a constraint on AI, but a condition for trusting it at all.

California just signed SB 690 into law.
Good news: private lawsuits over one CIPA tracking theory are now restricted to the Attorney General.
The part nobody's talking about: CIPA's wiretapping provisions, the ones behind the LA Times' $3.85M settlement, weren't touched.
