Silktide Consent Manager: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Silktide Consent Manager is a cookie consent banner for websites, published by Silktide Ltd. It is added to a site with a script, works with any website or CMS and supports Google Consent Mode v2. Tracking cookies are blocked by default until a visitor opts in. The code is published under the MIT licence on GitHub. Silktide also sells a web governance platform, which is a separate product.

Silktide Ltd is a UK company with an office in Birmingham; the vendor names no registered office or parent company. According to the vendor, the banner collects no personal data and does not track visitors, and the MIT licence allows organisations to review the code and run it on their own infrastructure. The data processing agreement describes Silktide as processor, but hosting locations and sub-processors for its platform are not stated. Check the terms and hosting details before using any other Silktide service.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Silktide Consent Manager

Silktide Consent Manager is headquartered in GB, outside the EU. Contracts and data therefore also fall under non-European law. The GDPR applies through contractual terms, but in a conflict with local legislation you have less certainty than with a European vendor.

Silktide Consent Manager hosts data outside the EU (OTHER). Personal data therefore leaves the EU, which requires a transfer mechanism under the GDPR and pulls the data residency score down.

Silktide Consent Manager is open source. You can audit the source code, self-host the software and keep the encryption keys under your own control. Switching is easier because data and software are not tied to a single party.

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