CookieHub: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

CookieHub is a consent management platform for websites. It scans and blocks cookies, shows geo-targeted consent banners and provides consent reporting. The platform states support for Google Consent Mode V2 and the IAB TCF framework, and the company describes itself as a Google-certified CMP partner. It is offered as a hosted service, and its privacy policy says it processes data for websites that use the service.

CookieHub ehf. is an Icelandic private limited company with a registered address in Reykjanesbær, Iceland. Iceland is part of the European Economic Area, so the company is a European provider. The privacy policy states, however, that servers and some service providers may be located in the United States. It does not name a primary hosting location or publish a sub-processor list. Its processing terms are set out in a data processing agreement linked from the privacy policy. Organisations should ask CookieHub which regions store their consent logs and how any transfers to the United States are covered.

Why digital sovereignty matters with CookieHub

CookieHub is headquartered in IS, which falls under the GDPR through the European Economic Area. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

CookieHub hosts data in EU, US. Exactly what stays within the EU — and what does not — is defined by the vendor's data processing agreement and sub-processor list, not by a setting you control yourself; check those documents for the precise scope, including backups, logs and support access.

CookieHub 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 CookieHub together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
