Built for empowerment.
Open by design.

Consenter is a hybrid open-access service that is based on scientific evidence, participation, and certified by public authorities. What we do is transparent, accountable, inclusive and fair.

Open

All core components are accessible, inspectable, and grounded in publicly available methodologies.

Accountable

Our approach is based on scientific evidence, regulatory frameworks, and measurable outcomes.

Inclusive

In developing our standards, we involve stakeholders across civil society, research, industry and public authorities.

Background

Why does Consenter exist?

The problem is not feasibility — it is implementation.

Consenter was developed as part of publicly funded research projects
to demonstrate that truly informed consent is feasible in practice.

Despite industry claims that informed decisions are unrealistic,
Consenter provides working, tested solutions that prove otherwise.

Anti lock-in

Consenter is a research demonstrator —
no lock-in solution.

Consenter open access components.

Any website operator can implement informed consent using appropriate technical and design approaches. You don’t have to buy the Consenter cookie banner. You can build it yourself. Just make sure it meets the state of the art, according to Article 25 and 32 GDPR.

These components are continuously maintained by the community.
