Axeptio: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Axeptio is a consent management platform (CMP) for websites and mobile apps, aimed at brands, publishers and agencies. It offers a no-code builder for consent banners with custom branding, built-in analytics and A/B testing, a cookie and tracker scanner, support for Google Consent Mode v2 and IAB TCF, and a module for collecting consent to terms and conditions with a proof registry. For apps there are iOS and Android SDKs. Web consent is delivered through CMS plug-ins and integrations with, among others, Shopify, WordPress and PrestaShop.

According to CB Insights, Axeptio is headquartered in Montpellier, France, and was founded in 2017. The company has acquired Cookie Code in the Netherlands and AdOpt in Brazil. Its website does not describe an ownership structure or say where consent data is hosted; the data processing agreement is the best place to confirm this. The software is not open source and is consumed as a service.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Axeptio

Axeptio is headquartered in FR and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so Axeptio scores best on data residency.

Axeptio is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Axeptio together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
