GeraCompliance vs CookiePro

FAQ

What is CookiePro and how does it differ from GeraCompliance?

CookiePro is a consent management platform (CMP) by OneTrust, focused on cookie scanning, consent banner management, and consent record keeping for websites and apps. GeraCompliance is a broader compliance sprint tool covering GDPR obligations end-to-end (data mapping, DPIA, processor agreements, subject access request workflows) plus the EU AI Act. They solve different compliance problems.

Do I need both a CMP like CookiePro and GeraCompliance?

Potentially yes. A CMP manages cookie consent on the front end of your website — a legal requirement under ePrivacy Directive and GDPR. GeraCompliance handles the broader GDPR compliance obligations: data processing records, DPIAs, and your AI Act risk register. Most compliant tech companies run both a CMP and a broader compliance management tool.

Does GeraCompliance include cookie consent functionality?

GeraCompliance provides guidance and templates for cookie policy documentation and consent logging requirements. It does not include an embeddable consent banner widget. For automatic cookie scanning and banner management, a dedicated CMP like CookiePro, Cookiebot, or Axeptio is the right complement.

Is GeraCompliance suitable for e-commerce sites?

Yes. GeraCompliance is used by e-commerce operators to document GDPR compliance, draft privacy notices, and complete their AI Act obligations if they use AI-powered recommendation or fraud detection systems. Many e-commerce teams use it alongside a CMP for full cookie + privacy compliance.
