Why Developers Choose CookieGuard

When you need cookie compliance done right — not bundled with ten other things

🎯

Specialist vs Generalist

Termly does privacy policies, terms of service, and cookie banners — all okay, none exceptional. CookieGuard does cookie compliance only. That focus means better scanning, faster results, and a workflow built around how developers actually ship code.

🔄

CI/CD Without the Dashboard Tax

Termly's workflow is: log in → navigate to consent management → trigger scan → review dashboard. CookieGuard's workflow is: push code → done. Our GitHub Action runs automatically and flags violations before they hit production.

30-Second Scans vs Minutes

Termly scans take several minutes and are meant to be run occasionally. CookieGuard scans complete in 30 seconds and are designed to run on every deployment. Speed matters when compliance is part of your CI pipeline.

💰

No Upsell to a Privacy Bundle

Termly's business model pushes you toward their full privacy suite. CookieGuard doesn't sell privacy policies — we're not trying to become your legal department. $29/mo for cookie compliance. That's it. No bundle required.
