Why Choose FreeTOS Over CookieYes
The real reasons website owners and developers skip the CookieYes paywall.
No "Powered by CookieYes" Branding
CookieYes's free plan puts their logo on your consent banner. Your visitors see their brand, not yours. FreeTOS generates clean banner code with zero third-party branding.
No Page View Caps
CookieYes Basic limits you to 25,000 page views per month. Hit that cap and your consent banner stops working. FreeTOS has zero page view limits: growing traffic never costs you more.
Download and Own Your Policy
CookieYes hosts your policy on their servers. Cancel your account and access may disappear. FreeTOS gives you the full document to download and host on your own domain, you own it forever.
AI-Generated, Not Template-Filled
FreeTOS uses Google Gemini AI to write a cookie policy tailored to your actual website, data practices, and jurisdiction, not generic template clauses with your name dropped in.
$180/Year Saved
CookieYes Basic costs $15/month ($180/year) just to remove branding from your own website's banner.

Frequently Asked Questions
CookieYes has a free plan but it displays "Powered by CookieYes" branding on your consent banner and caps you at 25,000 page views per month. To remove the branding you need their Basic plan at $15/month, which raises the page view cap. Sites with significant traffic will still need to watch their usage and potentially upgrade further.
FreeTOS generates a GDPR-compliant cookie policy document and JavaScript banner code with no branding and no page view limits. You download the policy and host it yourself, so you're never dependent on a third-party server staying online.
CookieYes hosts your policy on their servers rather than letting you download a file. If you cancel your plan, access to your policy may be affected and you'll lose the document. FreeTOS lets you download and host your own policy: you own it regardless of whether you ever come back to our site.
Yes. FreeTOS generates both the cookie policy document AND JavaScript consent banner code you can paste directly into your site. The banner is clean, customizable, and carries no FreeTOS branding.
If you exceed the 25,000 monthly page view limit on CookieYes Basic, your consent banner may stop working correctly until you upgrade to their Pro plan at $25/month or Business plan at $50/month.
FreeTOS generates GDPR-compliant cookie policy documents using Google Gemini AI. The generated policy includes required disclosures about the types of cookies used, their purpose, and how users can manage consent. For complex compliance situations or enterprise operations, we always recommend attorney review, but for most small to mid-size websites, FreeTOS covers the essentials completely.
When You Should Actually Choose CookieYes Instead
Honesty first. CookieYes is the right pick in specific situations.
You need automatic cookie scanning
CookieYes can automatically scan your website and categorize cookies it finds. FreeTOS requires you to manually describe which cookies your site uses. If you're running a large site with many third-party scripts and need automated cookie discovery, CookieYes has a genuine advantage there.
You want hosted consent management and logs
CookieYes stores consent records: who accepted, when, and what they agreed to. This consent log can be useful for demonstrating compliance if audited. FreeTOS generates a policy and banner but doesn't run a backend to store consent records. For enterprise use cases where you need auditable consent histories, CookieYes is worth the cost.
You want a turnkey hosted widget with no setup
CookieYes gives you a single script tag and handles everything: banner display, preference storage, policy link. FreeTOS gives you the HTML policy file (which you host) and banner JavaScript (which you configure). FreeTOS requires slightly more technical setup. If that sounds like friction you don't want, CookieYes's hosted approach is simpler out of the box.
