See what's new in CookieChimp.

A clear record of the features, improvements, and fixes available across the CookieChimp platform.

Preview a Website Scan Before Running One

You can now preview a realistic website scan before running one, and consent banners with longer names duplicate reliably.

New

  • Example website scan: Open a realistic, read-only report from the Scans page to see detected vendors, consent timing, storage items, and vendor import controls before scanning your own website.

Fixes

  • Reliable banner duplication: Consent banners with longer names can now be duplicated successfully, with copied names shortened automatically when needed.

Invoice Payment Emails

Account owners can receive clearer invoice updates with direct links to view an invoice or update billing details.

New

  • Invoice payment emails: Account owners can receive a receipt when an invoice is paid or a clear notification when payment fails, with a direct link to view the invoice or update billing details.

Province-Level Consent Targeting for Canada

Consent banners can now target Canadian provinces and territories, with matching coverage in the regional compliance report.

New

  • Canadian province targeting: Create banners for individual Canadian provinces and territories, including a dedicated Quebec experience and a Canada-wide fallback for visitors whose province cannot be resolved.
  • Canadian compliance coverage: The regional compliance report now evaluates Canadian banner coverage at province level and shows which configured banner applies to each region.

Improvements

  • Visible compliance totals: The sidebar now shows the number of outstanding compliance issues even when the full regional report is not included in the current plan.

Control Which CookieChimp Emails You Receive

Notification emails now include a straightforward unsubscribe flow with a clear confirmation screen.

New

  • Email preferences: CookieChimp notification emails now include an unsubscribe link with a confirmation screen, making it easy to stop non-essential account emails.

See the Domains Connected to Each Scan Result

Scan reports now connect each detected vendor to its associated domains, while clearer Pro tiers apply only to new subscriptions; existing subscriptions are unchanged.

New

  • Vendor domains in scan reports: Each vendor card now lists its associated domains and highlights the domains found during the scan. When auto-blocking is enabled, the report also shows which domains CookieChimp attempts to block before consent.
  • Self-service Pro tiers: New subscriptions can choose the unique-visitor allowance that fits the site and upgrade to Pro directly from the pricing flow. This applies only to new subscriptions; existing subscriptions are unchanged.

Auto-Fix Common Regional Compliance Issues

The regional compliance report can now correct supported banner settings for you, with a 24-hour undo window.

New

  • Compliance auto-fix: Apply supported fixes directly from the regional compliance report, including consent mode, required buttons, preference detail, button prominence, and consent duration settings.
  • Undo for 24 hours: Restore affected banners to their previous settings for up to 24 hours after running an auto-fix.

Fixes

  • Consent rate accuracy: Analytics consent rates now remain within the expected 0–100% range when visitor activity is aggregated.

Percentage Insights in Consent Charts

Consent chart tooltips can now show each value as a percentage of the visible total.

New

  • Percentage chart tooltips: Consent charts can now show each data point as a percentage of the visible total, automatically excluding series you hide from the chart.

React Native Consent Setup

React Native teams now have a guided mobile consent setup covering installation, banners, consent syncing, and configuration.

New

  • React Native consent setup: Configure consent for a React Native app with guided installation, geographic banner selection, online or offline configuration, consent record syncing, and an in-product API reference.

Clearer Pro Pricing

Pro pricing now makes the cost per 100,000 unique visitors and available volume discounts clearer for new subscriptions only; existing subscriptions are unchanged.

Improvements

  • Clearer Pro pricing: Pricing for new Pro subscriptions now shows the cost per 100,000 unique visitors as the allowance changes and points larger sites to available volume discounts. This applies only to new subscriptions; existing subscriptions are unchanged.

Clearer Banner Design Controls

The banner designer now makes layout-specific options clearer, and a sign-up edge case no longer interrupts setup.

Improvements

  • Layout-aware close icon: The close-icon control now appears disabled when the selected banner layout does not support it, so it is clear why the option cannot be changed.

Fixes

  • Sign-up questionnaire: Optional or incomplete questionnaire answers no longer prevent a new user from finishing account setup.

More Detail in Consent Records

Consent records now show what was granted, vendor setup can reuse group knowledge, and logs retain less page-level detail.

New

  • Granted consent details: A visitor record now shows the categories and services granted at the time of the consent decision.
  • Group-aware vendor suggestions: When you configure a vendor, CookieChimp can suggest matching vendor information already used by another website in the same group.

Improvements

  • Privacy-focused consent logs: Consent activity now stores, displays, and exports the website domain rather than the visitor's full page path.

Consent Log Exports Now Include the Website Domain

Exports provide clearer site context, while preference controls and domain matching work more consistently.

New

  • Domain in consent exports: Consent log CSV exports now include the website domain associated with each record, making multi-site analysis easier.

Improvements

  • Accessible preference controls: Visitors can operate consent toggles with Enter or Space, including in Safari, and screen readers receive a clearer label for reopening preferences.
  • Exact duration presets: Three- and six-month consent duration options now use exact 90- and 180-day values.

Fixes

  • Additional domain matching: Additional domains are normalised to lowercase when saved, avoiding mismatches caused only by letter casing.
  • Language designer layout: The banner language control is aligned consistently with the rest of the designer.

Consent Choices Now Save More Reliably

Saved preferences now reach connected services reliably, with clearer consent-log examples and local-currency pricing for new subscriptions only; existing subscriptions are unchanged.

New

  • Local-currency pricing: New subscriptions can use plan pricing and checkout in USD, GBP, or EUR, with a currency selector when upgrading. This applies only to new subscriptions; existing subscriptions are unchanged.
  • Consent log examples: Empty consent logs now show clearly labelled demonstration records and a sample visitor timeline, so you can see what a real record will contain.

Fixes

  • Save preferences: Choosing Save preferences now sends the updated consent event, so connected services receive the visitor's final selection.

More Reliable Google Consent Mode for Returning Visitors

Consent Mode now applies its default and saved states in the correct sequence, while translations and report access handle edge cases more clearly.

Improvements

  • Regional report plan access: Accounts without the full regional compliance report now see a limited preview and upgrade guidance instead of controls that are not included in their plan.

Fixes

  • Returning-visitor consent sequence: Google Consent Mode now sets the configured default first and then applies a returning visitor's saved choices when available.
  • Concurrent translations: Translation requests for the same source text and language can safely reuse the stored result instead of interrupting the translation workflow.

Control When the Consent Banner Appears

Developers can now delay the consent banner when needed, while scan matching and saved consent updates behave more precisely.

New

  • Banner visibility event: Listen for cc:beforeModalShow to prevent the initial consent banner from appearing and display it later through the CookieChimp browser API.

Improvements

  • Plan-aligned language limits: When an account moves to a plan with fewer language slots, available translations now adjust to the new allowance.
  • Plan-aligned consent retention: Accounts moving to the free plan now use the included three-month consent-retention setting automatically.

Fixes

  • Precise wildcard matching: Cookie and storage-item wildcard rules now match complete names, avoiding partial-name false positives in scan results.
  • Consent Mode event timing: Google Consent Mode sends default and returning-visitor updates in the correct order without repeating an unchanged saved state.
