Cookiebot just raised the Small Premium plan from €15 to €30 per month for 1 domain and reduced limits for subpages and page views. If your bill doubled while your allowance shrank, it is time to switch.
AesirX CMP is first-party, blocks all tracking before consent, and takes minutes to set up. Our standard price is $9 USD per month for one domain with a 14-day free trial. Right now, we also offer a limited AppSumo Lifetime Deal from $69 USD.
Example result from a recent WordPress site: installed at noon, live and fully configured less than 5 minutes later, blocked 21 non-essential trackers before consent on a 30k page site - saving $1,000+ per year.
The 5 WordPress reasons to switch to AesirX CMP
1. Privacy built into your site
No third party consent pixels or billing telemetry on your visitors’ devices before consent. Built to respect ePrivacy Directive 5(3) from the first request.
2. It blocks all tracking, not just cookies
Full coverage for cookies and beacons, including pixels, telemetry, and fingerprinting. Nothing loads until explicit, informed consent. This is real technical enforcement. Not theatre.
3. AI Privacy Advisor handles the hard parts
AI scans your site pre and post consent, identifies what actually tracks, categorizes it, and proposes a one-click block list. It also drafts your cookie declaration, privacy policy, and consent text based on what it finds. You approve and publish.
4. Made for WordPress, easy setup
One-click install from WP Admin. One-click configuration to apply AI recommendations. Consent logs and documents live in WordPress. No external dashboard to manage.
5. Predictable pricing that you control
Standard price is $9 USD per month for one domain with a 14-day trial. Prefer to be done with monthly bills. The AppSumo Lifetime Deal is from $69 USD is a single purchase, and we are running it only once.
What changed at Cookiebot in 2025
- Small Premium moved from €15 to €30 per month for 1 domain.
- Lower limits for subpages and page views per month.
- Higher risk of auto re-tiering when your site grows.
If your WordPress site sits near a threshold, a new category, a blog sprint, or user-generated content can trigger a higher tier. That is budgeting pain you do not need.
Compliance that holds up when it counts
Many CMPs add their own pixels or tracking to handle billing and reporting. That is not technically required for your service – it is simply vendor convenience.
AesirX follows strict opt-in rules. We pause everything non-essential before consent. We also hold Google Tag Manager entirely until explicit consent is given by the visitor. Some setups with Consent Mode 2.0 allow signals before consent. That approach doesn’t meet strict opt-in requirements for many EU implementations. AesirX prevents pre-consent leakage by design and keeps all consent decisions on your own domain.

Bonus capability for regulated content
Need to gate content or products by age or country. Enable privacy preserving verification that proves attributes without exposing identities. Use it when regulation requires checks. Keep it off when you do not need it.
Example result from a recent WooCommerce site: A Danish alcohol e-commerce platform needed age verification to comply with Danish laws, the competitors wanted monthly subscriptions and payment of DKK 0,50 to 0,90 per verification and introduced both “phone home” and linkability issues so the usage could be tracked and monitored by 3rd party suppliers and ID credential issuer, AesirX CMP offers free Age Verification with privacy protection - savings $5000+ per year.

Cookiebot alternative for WordPress: FAQs
1. Will AesirX really stop everything before consent
Yes. Non-essential cookies and non-essential beacons are blocked on the first page load. Only essentials you whitelist will run before consent.
2. Do I need to be technical to set this up
No. Install the plugin, run AI Privacy Advisor, click to apply the rules, and publish the drafted texts. No code required.
3. What exactly gets blocked before consent
All non-essential cookies and all non-essential beacons including pixels, telemetry, and fingerprinting. Essentials you explicitly whitelist can run.
4. How does this differ from Consent Mode 2.0 and GTM
AesirX holds GTM until explicit consent. After consent, allowed tags run. This avoids pre consent signals and aligns with strict opt-in obligations in the EU.
5. Will this slow down my site
AesirX is first-party and lightweight. Blocking non-essential trackers before consent often improves performance because unwanted scripts never load.
