Our take

CookieYes suits WordPress or Shopify stores comfortably below 15,000 monthly pageviews, or teams already invested in the WebToffee plugin stack. SmartConsent suits sites whose traffic has outgrown the free tier, teams that don't want a pageview-metered bill, or anyone running multiple domains on a single flat price.

Migration

Switching from CookieYes

Five steps, no downtime. Do it in a staging branch first and verify with the scanner.

  1. Run a scan of your current setup

    Use the SmartConsent free scanner. It will detect the CookieYes script and show which categories it's currently enforcing.

  2. Note your category mapping

    CookieYes uses Necessary, Functional, Analytics, Performance, Advertisement. SmartConsent uses Necessary, Preferences, Analytics, Marketing. Functional + Performance map to Preferences; Advertisement maps to Marketing.

  3. Remove CookieYes, add SmartConsent

    Delete the CookieYes plugin (WordPress) or script tag (elsewhere). Drop the SmartConsent tag into `<head>` — see the installation guide.

  4. Tag your analytics + marketing scripts

    Add `data-consent-category="analytics"` or `"marketing"` to the relevant `<script>` tags. See the script blocking docs.

  5. Verify with the scanner

    Rerun the scan on your live site. A 100/100 compliance score confirms tags are gated.
