Cookiestack vs Cookiebot vs OneTrust
Last updated: August 24, 2026
All three tools solve the same core problem — collecting and logging cookie consent — but they target different audiences. Here's a straightforward comparison as of 2026.
| Cookiestack | Cookiebot | OneTrust | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Data hosted in Russia (152-FZ) | Yes, physically on servers in Russia | No — processed in the EU | Usually no, depends on hosting region |
| GDPR support (opt-in) | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| CCPA/CPRA support (opt-out, GPC) | Yes | Yes, on higher tiers | Yes |
| Google Consent Mode v2 | Native, incl. v2 parameters | Yes | Yes |
| Yandex Metrica | Native integration | Not advertised | Not advertised |
| Entry price | Free forever | From €7/mo per domain | No public pricing |
| Typical cost | 1,290 RUB/mo (Starter) | €7–90/mo per domain¹ | ~$10,000–12,000/yr + 20–40% implementation² |
| Pricing model | Domains + consents/mo | Domains + site subpages | Custom contract |
| Setup time | ~5 minutes, one script tag | ~5–15 minutes | Weeks to months, often needs implementation support |
| Best for | RU/CIS sites and agencies with international traffic | European sites with no RU data localization needs | Large enterprises with a dedicated privacy team |
¹ Cookiebot is operated by Cybot A/S (Denmark), part of Usercentrics since 2021; pricing is based on site subpage count rather than consents. ² OneTrust does not publish pricing — median contract figures are based on public sources as of 2026. Check each vendor's official site for current terms.
The main difference
Cookiestack is the only one of the three that physically hosts data on servers in Russia, meeting the 152-FZ localization requirement without extra infrastructure — while still supporting GDPR and CCPA, with the banner adapting to visitor location automatically.
Who each one fits
- Cookiestack — RU/CIS sites and agencies with international traffic that need both 152-FZ and GDPR/CCPA without paying for enterprise-only features.
- Cookiebot — European sites with no RU data localization requirement that value a mature ecosystem and Usercentrics integration.
- OneTrust — large organizations with a dedicated privacy team that need a full risk and compliance platform, not just a cookie banner.
