CookieYes Partners with Cloudways for Enhanced Consent Management

Cloudways, part of DigitalOcean, has announced a partnership with CookieYes, now their exclusive consent management partner. This collaboration integrates GDPR- and CCPA-compliant cookie consent directly into the Cloudways hosting dashboard, facilitating faster, compliant website launches. CookieYes, known for its widespread use in over a million WordPress installations, offers features like geo-targeting banners and policy generators, easing compliance setups for users.

This move addresses a common issue for WordPress sites, where consent management typically occurs post-launch. By incorporating it into the startup process, users can now efficiently manage compliance requirements from the beginning, aligning with rising regulatory actions seen in recent years. The initiative aims to streamline website deployments, allowing quicker market readiness and reducing legal risks.

Anvar T K, CEO of CookieYes, highlights the integration's value, eliminating the need for separate consent management vendors. Aaqib Sayed from Cloudways also supports the alignment, emphasizing enhanced confidence for developers launching projects on their platform. Cloudways users can activate CookieYes consent tools directly and begin using them at no extra cost.
