Freemium: a permanently free WordPress plugin tier with no page-view limits, plus an optional PRO tier at $5/month (also listed as €5/month or 19 zł/month) for design customization, A/B testing, and analytics.
CookieBoxs is a WordPress plugin built by VisionSolutions.pl that helps site owners meet cookie consent and privacy regulations including GDPR, CCPA, UK GDPR, LGPD, and nDSG. The free tier includes Google Consent Mode v2 with configurable defaults, an automatic script blocker that stops third-party scripts from firing before consent, a cookie cleaner, content blockers for embeds like YouTube, Vimeo, and Google Maps, consent logging stored in the WordPress database, a floating consent-preferences badge, and support for 40 languages including RTL layouts. The plugin is self-hosted, storing consent data locally rather than relying on an external cloud service, and has no page-view limits on the free plan. A PRO tier priced at $5/month adds a live visual banner design editor, A/B testing for banner variants, a two-phase cookie scanner, geo-targeting, granular per-service consent controls, tamper-proof consent records with certificates, CSV export, a consent analytics dashboard, an auto-generated cookie declaration page, and white-label branding. CookieBoxs integrates with 25+ third-party services such as Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, TikTok, Microsoft Clarity, Hotjar, HubSpot, Mixpanel, and Matomo, and is compatible with WordPress caching plugins including WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache, and W3 Total Cache.
