Well... what a wonderful find. All basic functionality is there... and Alyana from support doesn't know everything but she just keeps going and getting the answers and -if possible- solutions. Team is willing to change/improve and responsive.
And that's where the good news ends.
1. Customer pages are slow and sometimes bug-out or plain & simple give up until refreshed (Error 503 from Cloudfront seen a lot) 2. The 3m limit went down to 300k - that if reached is really not clear what the charge would be to "solve" 3. The crawler is dead slow and we don't know it's name to allow/deny with robots.txt (upcoming feature I was told) 4. Gold Google certification will be done after deal is non-refundable (hmmm... with no "got your back guarantee" either) 5. There's no way to add custom cookies in advance (for example I just know I will have youtube's one but I can't add it now... I have to wait for a crawl (monthly or manual) and then categorize it... IF the crawler sees it (somehow it hasn't even though I added an embedded video) 6. Setting for when to display the popup is Worldwide or EU/Canada/US but it's based on... browser locality (needs to be geolocation for sure as many people do a default install of a browser that is on en-US). (Improvement promised from support) 7. No clear instructions on how to handle zones in GTM with different browser defaults (what localities need what and where to put on GTM template?) 8. No ability to "pool" 2-3 site limits into 1 site (this is NEEDED)
etc etc...
Look, this is NOT a bad review. Really. I just listed everything I talked about with support and what I experience as a T4 client. Team is responsive and they want to improve as far as I can tell, that's clear enough. My only worry is if this just a 250+ bucks from me on a promise...
I'll gladly come here in a month or 2 or 3 and make this a 5 taco review if some stuff like site speed improves and the Google Gold certification is done. I have high hopes for CookiePal and it's team - as long as they have our backs for many years to come...

Hi Mcx,
Thanks a lot for taking the time to write such a thoughtful and well-balanced review. It’s clear you're invested in seeing Cookiepal succeed, and we truly appreciate that kind of support. Also love the shoutout to Alyana. She’s incredibly dedicated and it shows.
Let me address a few of your points directly:
1. Page speed and 503s We’re actively working to improve performance and...
I am not paid for this review, like many Appsumo deal do. It just works. That's all I wanted to say

Thanks so much for the honest words, that means a lot to us. We’re really glad Cookiepal is working the way it should. No fluff, no drama, just clean compliance.
Appreciate you taking the time to share your experience!
I used CookieYes for about a year before switching to CookiePal – mainly because the lifetime deal was too good to pass up. I’m happy to say the transition was smooth, and CookiePal performs just as well.
Setup was straightforward, and I’ve had zero issues with compliance or functionality. What really stands out is their support – super fast, helpful, and friendly. You can tell they care about their users.
Highly recommended if you're looking for a solid cookie consent tool without the recurring costs!

Thank you so much for the kind words and for making the switch to Cookiepal! We're really glad to hear the transition went smoothly and that you're enjoying the platform.
We work hard to keep things simple, effective, and well-supported, so it means a lot to know it's making a difference. If you ever need anything or have ideas for improvements, we're always just a message away.
