It shows a cookie banner, stores the visitor's choice in their browser, and sends Google Consent Mode v2 signals automatically. If you upgrade, SafeBanner can also hold marked analytics and marketing scripts until consent is granted.

Why teams switch
Founder note
“I built SafeBanner because the choices were either bloated enterprise CMPs or abandoned cookie banners. This gives you the small, understandable version that developers actually want to ship.”
Open source code, live demo, and docs are all public before you pay.
What SafeBanner covers
- Consent banner with Accept All / Reject All
- Google Consent Mode v2 signals
- Block marked scripts until consent (Pro)
- Consent expiry and re-prompting (Pro)
- Cookie cleanup on rejection
- Opt-in by default for non-essential categories
- Multi-language support (EN/FR/DE + 40 more with Pro)
- onConsentChange() callback API
Intentionally simple
SafeBanner handles consent UI and script blocking. It doesn't:
- Manage vendors or IAB TCF strings
- Store hosted consent records
- Act as your legal system of record
SafeBanner manages consent on the site itself. No hosted consent records, no data processor relationship, no subprocessor complexity.
You stay in control. SafeBanner exposes consent state via API. Check hasConsentFor('analytics') before loading your trackers, or use Pro script blocking to activate marked scripts after consent.
Free shows the banner. Pro stops marked scripts from running before consent.
Built for indie developers and agencies who want OneTrust-level enforcement without the OneTrust bill. Free gives you a working banner with Google Consent Mode v2. Pro adds actual script blocking, consent expiry, and cookie cleanup.

What if I'm audited?
SafeBanner helps you capture consent choices and send Google Consent Mode v2 signals, but it is not legal advice and it does not act as your hosted system of record. Consent stays on the site itself, not in a SafeBanner dashboard.
FAQ
Is this really free?
Yes. Free gives you a working consent banner with Google Consent Mode v2 — no limits, no account. Pro ($15/mo) can block marked analytics and marketing scripts until approval, re-prompt after expiry, remove branding, and customize everything. Nothing in Free stops working if you never upgrade.
Will this break my existing Google Analytics setup?
No code changes are required for Free beyond adding the SafeBanner script before your Google tags. For Pro script blocking, you only mark the scripts you want SafeBanner to hold until consent.
Can I self-host?
Yes. MIT license. Run it on your own infra.
Does this work with React/Next/WordPress/etc?
Yes. It's a single script tag. Works everywhere.
What happens if I cancel Pro?
Your subscription stops renewing. SafeBanner Free still works as the banner and consent-signaling layer. Pro-only features like license-gated script blocking and branding removal require an active subscription.
What if I'm audited?
Consent is stored in the user's browser. SafeBanner does not store hosted consent records or act as a compliance system of record — that keeps your setup simple and your liability low. If you need server-side audit trails, your own backend is the right place to capture and own that data.
