CookieYes

GDPR cookie-consent CMP - bootstrapped - India/UK - 2018
👤 Anvar T K (Ran WebToffee, a WordPress plugin studio - its GDPR Cookie Consent plugin already had a big install base when the law hit.)🌐 site𝕏LinkedIn

GDPR made cookie banners mandatory. CookieYes became WordPress's free default, then upsold a hosted CMP.

Will it work? · our read
Regulation sells. A commodity banner - but GDPR and every privacy law after it force the demand, and a free WordPress plugin owns the funnel. Low ARPU caps it; regulation keeps forcing demand.
01How the money moves
Site owner installs the free plugin from WordPress.org
A law or Google mandate forces real compliance (GDPR, GCM v2)
Owner upgrades to the paid CMP - from $10/mo per domain

Revenue ($523.3K ARR, 2024) is Latka's ESTIMATE, not first-party - marked EST, not independently confirmed; CookieYes publishes no official revenue. Installs (1M+, WordPress.org) and 1.5M+ sites are platform/first-party verified, as are the 2018 launch and the Anvar T K / WebToffee origin. The free-GCM-v2 move is documented; the low-ARPU / free-rider read is [our read] inferred from Latka's figures. We never score you.
