Borlabs Cookie

Borlabs Cookie is a WordPress-only plugin from Borlabs GmbH in Hamburg, and its entire pitch is that nothing leaves your server: the consent records, the banner configuration and the more than 370 pre-built service packages all run on your own WordPress install, with no data transmitted to Borlabs itself.

Pricing is per number of websites rather than per pageview — €49 a year for one site, rising to €499 for 99 — with no seasonal discounts and a 30-day money-back guarantee instead of a trial.

The company states it has been established since 2018 and supports Google Consent Mode v2, the IAB TCF 2.4 framework and Microsoft's UET consent signal, so the blocking itself is current.

It sits in the same niche as Complianz, already in this category, and does the same job in a narrower way: deep WordPress integration, none of Complianz's document-generation features, and a flat annual licence instead of Complianz's free-plus-paid model. A team already on WordPress with Complianz has little reason to also evaluate Borlabs; one starting from nothing should compare both before choosing.

What Borlabs Cookie does well

• Self-hosted consent data; nothing sent to Borlabs itself
• Per-site licensing from €49/year, no pageview limits
• Google Consent Mode v2, IAB TCF 2.4 and Microsoft UET support
• 370+ pre-configured service packages

Where Borlabs Cookie falls short

• WordPress only, like Complianz already in this category
• No free trial, only a 30-day money-back guarantee
• No document generation (privacy policy, cookie policy) unlike Complianz or iubenda

Standout feature. Licensed per website rather than per pageview or session, with a stated promise that no visitor data reaches Borlabs' own servers.
