SmartConsent
Cookie Consent That Knows the Law
SmartConsent is an AI-native cookie consent platform that renders a compliant banner for each visitor's jurisdiction. Stop guessing which regulations apply — it detects jurisdiction automatically, resolves conflicting requirements using "strictest wins" logic, and renders the banner in a single script tag under 10KB.
Cookie consent is broken. Most banners are either non-compliant or require manual configuration for every jurisdiction.
Regulation Complexity
GDPR requires opt-in. CCPA allows opt-out. DPDP Act prohibits child tracking. PECR requires equal-prominence buttons. Getting it wrong means fines up to 4% of global revenue.
Manual Configuration
Traditional consent tools require you to manually configure compliance settings for each jurisdiction. When regulations change, you update code — or fall out of compliance.
Bundle Bloat & Dependencies
Popular consent platforms ship 50-200KB of JavaScript with third-party dependencies. They slow your site, introduce supply-chain risk, and often require a server-side component.
What SmartConsent Does
Regulatory intelligence meets lightweight engineering
Regulatory Intelligence
Built-in knowledge graph covering 11 regulations across 60+ countries. Auto-detects visitor jurisdiction via geo-IP and applies the correct compliance profile.
Strictest-Wins Resolution
When multiple regulations apply (e.g., a UK visitor on a site with EU operations), SmartConsent resolves conflicts by applying the strictest requirement for each setting.
Script Blocking Engine
Block-first approach: scripts tagged with data-consent-category are prevented from executing until consent is given. MutationObserver catches dynamically injected scripts.
Google Consent Mode v2
Fires gtag consent default and update signals automatically. Required for Google Ads, GA4, and DV360 in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland.
Global Privacy Control
Detects navigator.globalPrivacyControl and auto-applies opt-out preferences in jurisdictions that honour GPC (California, Colorado, Connecticut, and more).
Zero Dependencies
Single IIFE bundle under 10KB gzipped. No React, no framework, no server. Works with any website via a plain script tag.
Free Tool
Is your website compliant?
Run a free scan to detect cookies, tracking scripts, and compliance issues — then get a ready-to-paste SmartConsent configuration to fix them.
How It Works
Six stages, under 200ms
From geo-detection to script gating — every SmartConsent page load walks the same pipeline before a single analytics pixel fires.

Why SmartConsent
Built different from the ground up
Data-Driven, Not Code-Driven
Regulations are JSON files, not if-statements. Adding a 12th regulation means adding a JSON file — zero code changes, zero deployments to the core engine.
Genuinely Lightweight
Under 10KB gzipped with all 11 regulation data files included. No framework dependency. No server component. Loads faster than a single tracking pixel.
Built for Developers
npm package, React wrapper, TypeScript declarations, ES module, IIFE bundle, vanilla HTML template. Six integration methods for every stack.
Open Architecture
BSL 1.1 licensed — free for any use except competing consent services. Full source available. Converts to Apache 2.0 after four years.
