OVERVIEW

About Cookiebot

**Cookiebot** (operated by **Cybot A/S**, Copenhagen, founded 2012) is one of the largest consent management platforms in Europe — 2.4M websites, 8.8B monthly consents, 600K+ customers, Google-certified Gold-tier CMP partner, **ISO 27001 + ISO 27701** certified, own Danish infrastructure. The procurement-grade caveat is the ownership chain: **Cybot was acquired by Usercentrics in 2022** for ~€100M+; **Usercentrics was then acquired by Vista Equity Partners** (US private equity) in 2024. So Cookiebot today is German-owned at the operating-group level but US-PE-controlled at the ultimate-beneficial-ownership level. For procurement teams evaluating DACH cookie-consent vendors this is a critical fact rarely surfaced in marketing material.
