Local alternative

CookieYes costs you more
than you think.

CookieYes bills by pageviews with a monthly cap and overage at $0.30 USD per 1,000 visits beyond. The "Powered by CookieYes" branding remains visible unless you pay the Ultimate plan at USD$660/year. Moelleux is flat — CA$25/year for one site, CA$90/year for multi-jurisdiction coverage, no traffic penalty, no forced branding.

Why leave CookieYes

01

No pageview cap

CookieYes Basic caps at 100,000 pageviews/month. Beyond: $0.30 USD per extra 1,000 views, no ceiling. A successful campaign that drives traffic costs you more overnight. Moelleux is flat: no cap, no overage, ever.

02

No "Powered by"

On CookieYes Free, Basic and Pro tiers, the "Powered by CookieYes" mention appears on your visitor banner. Removing it requires the Ultimate plan at $55 USD/month. With Moelleux, "Powered by Moelleux" is optional, toggleable from the dashboard, starting at the CA$25/year Essential plan.

03

Data in Canada

CookieYes is published from Bangalore, India. Servers and support follow Indian policies (Digital Personal Data Protection Act). Moelleux hosts everything in Quebec, on OVH Beauharnois — infrastructure SOC 2 Type II + ISO 27001 + SecNumCloud. Your consents never leave Canada.

How it works

We replicate your current setup, swap, your visitors see no change.

01
🔍

We scan your site

Our Playwright scanner identifies all third-party scripts and active cookies. We compare against the CookieYes classification and import as-is when it matches.

02
📝

We regenerate the policy

10-question survey, then Claude generates your policy in Quebec French Loi 25-compliant. Activatable simultaneously in PIPEDA, GDPR, CCPA, and worldwide fallback.

03
🔄

We swap the script

Remove the CookieYes script, add the Moelleux one-liner. Banner appears with your brand. No downtime.

04

We cut the subscription

Once validated, you cancel CookieYes at next cycle. Moelleux credit replaces that cost.

Honestly

When to keep CookieYes

Three cases where CookieYes remains relevant.

You run IAB programmatic advertising

CookieYes is IAB TCF v2.3 certified and Google-certified GCM v2 compatible. If your display campaigns route through programmatic exchanges, it is a technical requirement. Moelleux supports GCM v2 but not IAB TCF.

You really want a complete free tier

CookieYes has a free tier covering minimal needs. Moelleux has no free tier — entry starts at CA$25/year. If your budget is strictly zero and the branding does not bother you, stay on CookieYes Free.

You operate primarily outside Canada

CookieYes has active LGPD (Brazil), POPIA (South Africa), VCDPA (Virginia) coverage. Moelleux covers worldwide via the World profile but does not claim local expertise in each jurisdiction.

Frequently asked questions

How much do I actually pay CookieYes per year?

Basic tier ($10 USD/mo × 12) = $120 USD ≈ CA$163. If pageviews exceed 100K/mo, add $0.30 USD per 1,000 extra views — a site at 200K/mo pays $30 extra USD = CA$193/year. Moelleux Essential: CA$25/year, regardless of traffic.

Does my data go to India?

CookieYes hosts on AWS (region varies by plan). HQ is Bangalore, India, so data protection policies follow Indian DPDPA. Moelleux: OVH Beauharnois, data in Quebec, never out of Canada.

Will I lose consent history?

Your CookieYes logs remain accessible in your CookieYes dashboard while the subscription is active. Export before cancellation if you want to archive. New consents post-migration log into Moelleux.

How long does the migration take?

Standard site: 30 minutes including scan, policy regeneration, script swap. No downtime, no visitor-side change.
