VERIFIEDMunich-based CMP (founded 2017); 2.4M sites / 8.8B monthly consents; now Vista Equity Partners-owned alongside Cookiebot.
Why this score?
Usercentrics GmbH (Munich DE, founded 2017) is ISO 27001 certified, German-operated, 2.4M websites / 8.8B monthly consents — but was acquired by Vista Equity Partners (US private equity) in 2024 alongside its Cookiebot subsidiary, flipping ownership_signal to eu_hq_us_funded with material CLOUD Act exposure via US PE control; the company now consolidates the DACH cookie-consent market under US PE.
