Shares here are read over the models both editions asked, so they can differ by a point or two from the standing above, which counts every model in this edition.
The floor is 11 points of share, measured: how far the models move a leader on their own when the same questions are asked twice with nothing changed. A larger change is movement; a smaller one is noise, and both are shown. Movement is read over the twelve models both editions asked; GPT-6 Luna, Muse Glimmer 30B joined this edition and are in the standing but not yet in the comparison.

What the models said for it
Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.
“I would recommend Cookiebot if your main need is a strong, automated cookie-consent tool that is easy to deploy and maintain” Perplexity Sonar · Consent · paraphrase prompt · first choice
“Choose Usercentrics/Cookiebot for automated scanning and strong TCF/Consent Mode v2 with app parity.” Muse Glimmer 30B · Consent · comparative prompt · first choice
“→ Secure Privacy or Cookiebot — both have genuine free tiers with real compliance features.” Kimi K2 · Consent · budget prompt · first choice
“Start a trial with Cookiebot if your marketing team wants a "set it and forget it" solution.” Qwen 3.7 Flash · Consent · direct prompt · first choice
And against it
Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.
“Cost at scale: Per-domain billing charges subdomains separately; reviewers note it "stacks fast"” Grok 4.20 · Consent · negative prompt · hard negative
“Cookiebot is described as cost-effective, but one source warns it may struggle with volume spikes and real-time device sync in some scenarios.” Perplexity Sonar · Consent · negative prompt · soft negative
“Platforms like Cookiebot charge based on the number of pages they scan... a "cheap" plan can quickly force you into an expensive tier.” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Consent · budget prompt · soft negative
“Platforms like Cookiebot by Usercentrics have faced criticism from small business owners and bloggers because of "auto-tiering"” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Consent · negative prompt · soft negative

A head-to-head page exists where both products are among a category's top eight. The other rows are the same fact without a page behind them, so they link to the product instead.
What carried it into the answer
The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Cookiebot. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.
Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, five of the fourteen in this edition, so these counts come from 118 of the 127 answers that named Cookiebot and are not a share of its labels.

How it is countedHide how it is counted
Every page cookiebot.com exposes, subdomains included. Kind is read from the address and title. The last 90 days, the latest date and the twelve months count pages by when they were published, from the site's feeds, a date in the address, or the page's own publication date, read from up to a hundred of its most recently changed pages; a page that says only when it last changed is counted in its kind but not in when, so the recent counts are a floor, and a kind none of whose pages gives a publication date reads undated. Read September 29, 2026.

Is this your product?
Claim this page
Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when Cookiebot's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as Cookiebot, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.
What a new claim receivesHide what a new claim receives
A new claim receives the current edition's vendor brief for Cookiebot by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:
- where Cookiebot is named, by buyer and by framing, and which cells hold its first choices;
- the claims the models make when they name it, ranked, with the strongest and the weakest quoted;
- its vocabulary against the segment leader's, and the pages the models cited;
- who was chosen in the answers that did not name Cookiebot, and every reason the record gives;
- a battlecard for each top rival: the head-to-head split, why they win, and the reservation quoted against them;
- one page of published figures cleared to show a buyer.
