Cookies.ie vs OneTrust
OneTrust is the enterprise standard for privacy programmes, with cookie consent as one part of a broad governance platform. For most Irish SMBs it is heavy and expensive. Cookies.ie does the consent job — banner, reject, script blocking, EU-hosted logs — without the enterprise weight or sales cycle.
OneTrust — The enterprise privacy-platform leader — consent is one module of a much larger suite. Cookies.ie is the Irish-built, EU-hosted alternative with ePrivacy-correct defaults and one flat price. If you are a large organisation that needs a full privacy-governance platform (DSARs, DPIAs, vendor risk) — not just a cookie banner — OneTrust is built for that.
Where OneTrust is strong
- Comprehensive privacy/governance suite far beyond cookie consent.
- Enterprise integrations, DPIA tooling, and large-org workflows.
- Cookiepedia, a very large public cookie database.
Where Cookies.ie is the better fit
- Right-sized for SMBs: set up a compliant banner in minutes, not a procurement cycle.
- Transparent flat pricing instead of enterprise quotes.
- Irish ePrivacy defaults and EU-hosted consent logs without configuration.
- No sales call required — free scanner and policy generator to start.
