Companies Using Complianz

We detect Complianz on 449,943 domains, including Department of State, Quess Corp, GXO. A detection means the technology is present on that domain, which for large organisations is often a single storefront or subdomain rather than a company-wide deployment. Among domains we matched to a company with a resolved industry, the most common is Construction (4.91%).

We detect 449,943 domains running Complianz across our monthly crawl of live business domains. Company data could be matched for 337,568 of them (75.0%), and every company-size, industry and country breakdown on this page describes that matched subset rather than the full detected base. A further 28,821 domains carried a Complianz detection previously and no longer do.

Complianz holds 11.64% of the Consent & Privacy Management category, ranking #2. This is a share of the domains we detect running a platform in this category — not a share of all websites, and not a share of spending — so it is not directly comparable to figures published on other denominators.

The top alternatives to Complianz include CookieYes (19.9% market share), Cookie Control (10.01% market share), Funding Choices (8.17% market share), Cookiebot (7.44% market share) — measured as a share of the domains we detect running a platform in this category.

European countries dominate Complianz adoption, reflecting the plugin's GDPR focus. The Netherlands, Germany, and France rank among the top adopters alongside the United States. Belgium, Spain, Italy, and Finland also show strong usage. Brazil and South Africa appear in the top ten, driven by LGPD and POPIA regulations. About 60% of Complianz's enriched user base is European.

The most common company size is 1-10 employees, representing 67.71% of the Complianz domains we could match to a company record and size — a subset of 337,568 matched companies, not of all 449,943 detected domains. This is followed by 11-50 employees (22.02%) and 51-200 employees (6.98%).

Among the Complianz domains we could match to a company with a known founding date, most were founded in the 2010s (34.16%), followed by the 2020s (21.12%). That matched subset is drawn from 337,568 companies and is not representative of all 449,943 detected domains. This suggests Complianz is most popular among relatively young companies.

The ideal Complianz customer is: Company Size: 1-10 employees, Location: US, Netherlands, or Germany, City: Amsterdam, Berlin, Paris, London, Founded: 2010-2019, Company Age: ~5-15 years old — based on our analysis of 337,568 enriched companies at TechnologyChecker.io.

Complianz is a privacy compliance plugin for WordPress that manages cookie consent banners, generates cookie policies, and handles user consent records. It supports GDPR, CCPA, LGPD, POPIA, and PIPEDA through automated cookie scanning and conditional consent notices. The plugin integrates with Google Tag Manager and analytics tools to block tracking scripts until visitors grant consent. Our data at TechnologyChecker.io detects it on 449,943 active domains.

The free version covers basic GDPR compliance needs: a cookie banner, automated cookie scan, and a generated cookie policy. Premium adds A/B testing for consent banners, more frequent scans, TCF 2.2 support, and multi-site management. For a single site with standard analytics, the free version is typically sufficient. Sites running advertising pixels or operating in multiple jurisdictions often need the paid tier.

Complianz is WordPress-native and runs entirely on your server, while CookieYes operates as a cloud-based SaaS. Complianz offers a free tier and annual pricing starting at €59 per site (Complianz pricing). CookieYes uses monthly subscription pricing. Our data at TechnologyChecker.io shows Complianz on 449,943 active domains. Both support GDPR and CCPA, but Complianz's WordPress integration is deeper. It hooks directly into the plugin library rather than loading external scripts.

Our detection data at TechnologyChecker.io shows Complianz on domains owned by Roche, Bayer AG, Fujitsu, Renault Group, the U.S. Department of State, Forbes, Standard Bank Group, and Norsk Hydro. Most large enterprises deploy Complianz on WordPress-powered subdomains and portals rather than their primary corporate domains. Government agencies and universities are heavily represented, higher education alone accounts for 9% of the enriched user base.

Yes, Complianz supports Google Consent Mode v2, which is required for advertising in the EEA since March 2024. The plugin sends consent signals to Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics 4, and Google Ads automatically. It handles both basic and advanced implementation modes. Per Complianz's own documentation, no manual configuration of consent mode parameters is needed once the plugin is active.

Complianz offers a free WordPress plugin with core consent features. Premium plans are annual: Personal at €59 per year for one site, Professional at €179 per year for five sites, and Agency at €399 per year for 25 sites, per the official Complianz pricing page. For Shopify, pricing starts at $5.99 per month for the Basic plan, with higher tiers for Shopify Plus stores.

Complianz and CookieBot serve the same purpose but differ in architecture. Complianz runs natively on WordPress, keeping data on your server. CookieBot is a cloud-based service that works across any platform. Complianz is more affordable for WordPress sites with its $59 annual plan. CookieBot offers broader cross-platform support. Choice depends on whether your stack is WordPress-only or multi-platform.

Complianz supports GDPR (EU), ePrivacy Directive, DSGVO (Germany), TTDSG (Germany), LGPD (Brazil), POPIA (South Africa), APA (Australia), RGPD (France/Portugal), CCPA/CPRA (California), and PIPEDA (Canada). The plugin auto-detects visitor location using geo-targeting and shows the appropriate consent banner for that jurisdiction. This broad multi-regulation coverage explains its global adoption across 61,923 enriched companies in our TechnologyChecker.io dataset.

Yes, Complianz launched a native Shopify app in addition to its WordPress plugin (Shopify App Store listing). Shopify pricing starts at $5.99 per month for the Basic plan. The app handles cookie consent banners, consent logging, and geo-targeted privacy notices. It's a newer product compared to the WordPress plugin, which has 1 million+ active installations and a much larger detection footprint in our data.

Higher education leads Complianz adoption at 9%, followed by government administration at 7% and IT services at 6%, based on our analysis of 61,923 enriched companies on TechnologyChecker.io. Financial services and nonprofits each account for about 4-5%. This distribution reflects how privacy compliance is a horizontal requirement. Any organization serving EU visitors needs consent management.

Complianz is designed to minimize performance impact. The plugin loads a lightweight JavaScript file for the cookie banner and stores consent data locally rather than making external API calls. Independent speed tests show minimal impact on Core Web Vitals when configured properly. The premium version includes refinement options like deferred script loading to reduce render-blocking behavior on page load.

Complianz joined the iubenda Group in late 2024. The acquisition brought Complianz under a larger privacy compliance umbrella that includes iubenda's SaaS consent platform. Since the merger, the plugin has received feature updates and continued WordPress support. The development team remains active, with updates as recent as March 2026. Existing Complianz licenses and free plugin installations continue to work.

Install Complianz from the WordPress plugin directory and activate it. The setup wizard walks through your region, website type, and third-party services. The built-in cookie scanner detects scripts on your pages automatically. After scanning, Complianz generates a cookie banner and privacy policy. The entire setup takes roughly 10-15 minutes for a standard site with Google Analytics and common marketing pixels.

Yes, but only in the premium version. TCF 2.2 (Transparency and Consent Framework) is required by the IAB Europe for programmatic advertising in the EU. Complianz Premium integrates TCF 2.2 consent signals so ad networks like Google AdSense and DoubleClick receive proper consent data. Free version users who run advertising need to upgrade or use a separate TCF implementation.
