CookieRampart gives small business websites a compliant cookie banner in minutes. It scans your site, finds every cookie and tracker, blocks them until visitors say yes, and shows a banner written in plain language. It covers GDPR for European visitors and CCPA opt-outs for California, with no legal jargon and no developer required.
Get your free consent audit
The scanner crawls your pages like a real visitor, executes scripts, and records every cookie, pixel, and third-party request it sees. It then categorizes what it finds into necessary, preferences, analytics, and marketing, using a regularly updated database of known trackers. You review the list once and the banner enforces it everywhere.
A clean, small banner that matches your brand colors and font. Visitors can accept all, reject all, or pick categories. The wording is plain English by default, and every string is editable if your lawyer prefers specific language. On mobile it collapses to a bottom bar that stays out of the way.
One script tag, pasted once. For WordPress there is a plugin, and for Shopify an app embed. If your site is hand-built, the script goes right after the opening head tag so it can hold other scripts until consent. That is the entire installation.

If you run Google Analytics, a Meta pixel, an embedded YouTube video, or a chat widget, you are setting non-essential cookies, and GDPR requires opt-in consent before they fire for EU visitors. Regulators have fined small sites, but the bigger everyday risk is ad platforms and analytics vendors restricting accounts that lack proper consent signals. A banner that actually blocks trackers fixes both.
Accepting lets analytics and marketing cookies fire immediately. Rejecting keeps only strictly necessary cookies, the ones the site needs to function, like a login session or cart. Under GDPR, rejecting must be as easy as accepting, which is why CookieRampart shows both options with equal weight on the first layer.
You will lose data from visitors who decline, which is the point of the law. What a good setup recovers is measurement through Google Consent Mode: when visitors decline, Google models conversions from consented traffic instead of showing nothing. CookieRampart configures Consent Mode v2 automatically so reporting stays useful.
Weekly by default, and again any time you trigger it from the dashboard. You get an email when the scan finds new cookies, which usually means a new plugin or embedded tool started setting them. Keeping the cookie list current is what keeps the banner honest.
Yes. Colors, font, position, button order, and all text are editable from the dashboard with a live preview that shows exactly what visitors will see on desktop and mobile. There is also a CSS override panel if you want pixel-level control, and your logo can replace the default icon in the banner header.
