What each tool is for
CookieYes
CookieComply
- WordPress / SMB consent banner — Yes (CMP)No
- Auto-block scripts until consent — CMP feature setNo — audit only
- See cookies on a specific live URL today — Limited to CMP dashboardYes — extension scan of the page you visit
- Shareable audit for GDPR reviews — Banner-focused docsYes — classified inventory and risk notes
- Works without changing site code — Install CMP plugin/scriptYes — no visitor-facing script required
When CookieComply is the better fit
- You installed CookieYes (or another banner) but marketing still loads tags you have not categorized.
- A client or DPO asked for a current cookie list from the live site, not the plugin settings screen.
- You manage many storefronts and want the same audit workflow without logging into each site’s CMP.
When you still need CookieYes
Visitors need a consent UI and your tags must respect Accept / Reject. That is CMP territory. CookieComply highlights gaps and documents cookies; it does not display a banner or gate scripts for end users.
Typical workflow
- Scan the homepage and key conversion pages with the CookieComply Chrome add-on.
- Compare results to your CookieYes category list and privacy policy.
- Fix mislabeled cookies in CookieYes, then re-scan to show before/after proof.
