## What it is
A lightweight, free JavaScript plugin that displays cookie consent banners to help websites comply with the EU Cookie Law, GDPR, and CCPA. It is actively maintained by Osano and is one of the most widely deployed consent tools on the web.

## Use cases
- add a cookie consent banner to my website
- make my site GDPR compliant for cookies
- comply with EU cookie law
- show a CCPA do-not-sell notice
- block tracking scripts until user consents
- free open source cookie consent manager

## When to choose
- you need a lightweight, self-hosted, zero-cost consent banner
- you want a battle-tested solution used on millions of sites
- you're comfortable wiring up callbacks for script blocking and consent storage yourself

## When to avoid
- you need multi-language dialogs, dashboard-managed script blocking, or stored consent records out of the box - the hosted Osano platform covers those
- you need a full consent management platform with DSAR automation and vendor risk management
- you require GeoIP-based consent logic without building it yourself
