CookieYes Becomes Exclusive Partner for Consent Management at Cloudways

CookieYes Joins Forces with Cloudways for Enhanced Cookie Consent Management

In a significant development within the realm of website management, CookieYes, a leading global cookie consent management solution with over one million active WordPress installations, has been designated as the exclusive partner for cookie consent management at Cloudways. This strategic partnership aims to enhance the ease and compliance of launching websites, especially for users of Cloudways, a well-known managed hosting platform associated with DigitalOcean.

Established with the mission of simplifying cookie compliance, CookieYes is integrated into the Cloudways hosting dashboard, providing users with a seamless experience. With its advanced features including automated cookie scans, geo-targeting, customizable banners, consent logs, and privacy policy generators, CookieYes enables users to efficiently set up GDPR and CCPA-compliant websites directly from the start.

Streamlining Compliance from the Get-Go

The integration of CookieYes into the Cloudways workflow addresses a crucial challenge faced by many WordPress websites on managed hosting platforms: obtaining cookie consent. Traditionally, this process occurs post-launch, often becoming a cumbersome step that can delay a website going live. By embedding CookieYes's functionality at the initiation stage, Cloudways users can significantly reduce operational overhead and accelerate their time to market.

With just a few clicks, users can scan their website's cookies, incorporate geo-targeted consent banners, maintain audit-proof records of consent, generate policies, and support the consent modes needed for modern advertising and analytics. This seamless integration is expected to revolutionize how WordPress websites are launched, ensuring compliance becomes an essential part of the onboarding process.

The partnership comes at a crucial time as cookie consent management evolves into a fundamental requirement rather than an afterthought. Regulatory bodies, tasked with enforcing General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), imposed fines exceeding €1.1 billion in 2025, reflecting a 34% increase in enforcement actions compared to the previous year. Violations of cookie consent regulations have repeatedly been among the most common reasons for these fines.

Insights from Leadership

Anvar T. K., CEO of CookieYes, highlighted the significance of this partnership, stating, "We have observed WordPress websites go live without proper consent management due to the requirement of involving a separate provider and an additional setup step. This partnership embeds consent management directly into the Cloudways workflow from the start, facilitating a smoother launch process."

Furthermore, CookieYes offers a proven privacy infrastructure recognized as a Google-certified Gold Consent Management Platform (CMP) partner and one of the few CMPs endorsed by Microsoft Clarity. This strategic alliance aims to harmonize businesses' need for receiving consent with their obligations under advertising, analytics, and regulatory frameworks.

Aaqib Sayed, Director of Growth Partnerships at Cloudways, added, "We want our customers to approach their launch with confidence. Offering CookieYes through our partner portal assists developers on Cloudways in ensuring compliance as part of their hosting setup."

Users can now activate CookieYes through their hosting dashboard at no cost, allowing for a straightforward initiation of cookie compliance measures.
