Who this tool is for

- Companies needing defensible consent records
- Healthcare and legal sites with strict requirements
- Marketers using Google Consent Mode v2
Usercentrics CMP is a consent management platform from Munich that handles GDPR, ePrivacy and IAB TCF 2.2 requirements. It auto-blocks tracking scripts before consent is given and supports Google Consent Mode v2, which makes it a practical fit for DACH websites that run analytics or advertising.
Data is held in Germany, and an AV-Vertrag is signed automatically on account creation, so the processor relationship is in place from the start. There is no free tier. As a consent layer it does not itself process special-category data. It is well suited to service firms, retailers, healthcare practices and law offices that need a defensible, EU-hosted cookie-consent solution.
