c15t vs CookieScript

Choose c15t to own the consent engine, framework components and backend. Compare CookieScript's scans, developer controls and self-hosted banner option.

Get started

Own the consent system from interface to backend.

c15t is the stronger fit when you want control of the consent engine and record service as well as the banner. Its native components and headless APIs connect consent to your application.

CookieScript combines banner settings, site scans and hosted consent records. Paid plans also let you download and host the banner's JavaScript file.

Compare what self-hosting gives you.

CookieScript's local file option is useful when your team needs to control asset delivery. Its guide also notes manual file updates and unavailable geo-targeting on that path.

c15t gives your team another level of control: the framework components, consent engine and backend source. You can change the code and run the backend with your own database.

That control brings work. Your team owns deployment, updates and operations when it runs the service itself. Inth remains the recommended managed path.

Do not treat a locally hosted banner file and a complete backend deployment as the same requirement. Check where choices go and who operates that service.

Moving off CookieScript across many sites?

Inth builds c15t and runs migrations for large teams, from the first audit to the day you remove the old script.
