DRIVE works with selected tool providers such as etracker, Cleverreach, LiveWatch, Usercentrics, and Cybot with Cookiebot. The latter two merged on September 1, 2021. Usercentrics offers solutions for large companies, while Cybot operates the plug-and-play Cookiebot consent management platform.
On July 1, 2023, changes will be made to the free Cookiebot package for new and existing customers:
- Scanning will only be carried out on request – automatic monthly scans will no longer be performed
- For new customers, only the standard banner configuration will be available: it is not yet clear whether and how texts and layout can be customized
- Statistical data will be available for the last 7 days.
- Statistical data can no longer be exported. Drive is working on a different solution.
- The privacy triggeris displayed by default and cannot be disabled
- Manual setup is only possible for cookie and tracker blocking
- 24-hour support is only available for premium customers

For existing customers with a free package, the current settings “for banner configuration, the privacy trigger, and the cookie and tracker blocking feature” will remain unchanged, but no changes can be made from July 1, 2023. You should take action in advance if you want to change anything. We will also contact you about this!
New customers will receive a 14-day trial of the Premium package. Trial customers can upgrade at any time during this period if they choose the Premium package.
The following features are included in the Premium plan:
"With the Premium Plan, you get access to a scalable and highly customizable cookie banner solution that gives you control and security over your website's privacy compliance.
- Full customization of all visual aspects of the cookie banner to match your branding: banner type, theme, text, and colors, including logo and graphics.
- Automatic translation into more than 47 languages to enable a personalized user experience.
- Seamless integration with Google Tag Manager, Google Consent Mode, CMS platforms, and more to integrate Cookiebot CMP into your tech stack.
- Detailed user consent analytics and monthly scan reports for better insights, faster optimization, and easier compliance maintenance.
- Automated categorization and blocking of cookies and other tracking technologies.
- Monthly scans to ensure that the latest cookies and trackers are detected, categorized, and blocked until consent is obtained.
- Priority email support for premium clients with a response time of less than 24 hours."

We will keep you up to date and contact you individually where necessary. If you have included the sending of automatic reports in your support package, nothing will change for your current support contract.
When your support package is due for renewal, we will discuss whether the overall support services are still suitable for your needs, as we have done in the past.
