Plan your switch.

Treat the move as a new installation, with time to test your consent settings.

Review your current setup
Record your cookie categories, tag triggers, banner settings and integrations. Retain any records you need before changing providers.
Prepare QookieQloud
Create your account, add your domain and configure the relevant integration. Test on staging before replacing the existing banner.
Test before going live
Check accept, decline and category choices, including how tags respond. Remove the old CMP at cutover so two banners do not run together.

Questions & Answers

Questions about switching.

Practical answers before moving your website to QookieQloud.

Can I try QookieQloud before replacing my current banner?

Yes. Start with the free public scan without installing QookieQloud. Connecting the consent platform is a separate step.

Will my settings and consent records transfer automatically?

Do not assume they will. Plan to configure QookieQloud and retain any records you need from your current provider. Check your specific migration needs with our team.

Do I need to review every AI cookie classification?

Not every classification needs manual approval. Cookie categories can be accepted automatically when AI confidence is high enough or enough consistent reviews across websites support the same category. Suggestions that need review show a confidence level and reasoning to help you decide.
