Alternative to Axeptio: develop your RGPD cookie banner natively in Webflow

An alternative to Axeptio: 100% free - 100% Seo Friendly - 100% customizable

Information on the RPGD compliance by the CNIL

They will explain it to you better than I can(link to CNIL article) it is now mandatory to have a website that meets the RPDG consent standards and allow visitors to your site to accept or refuse to share their data.

When we developed our website using Webflow, we set up a cookie management system to make it RPDG compliant with European standards. We wanted to work with a French company (welcome to the Startup Nation!) and so we chose Axeptio to offer it on Digidop.fr!

✅ At first glance, the design is cool, with a rather friendly user interface and the layout is neat (the pop-up appears only after 4 seconds on the site). It's quite intuitive to use and use online.

Front performance (with axeptio)

⚠️ Only thing is, the solution is expensive, the customization is limited and above all the performance in the Google Lighthouse audit is bad!

In order to provide the best quality website for the best SEO performance and user experience we have natively developed the 100% RGPD compliant cookie solution (By Finsweet) in Webflow and.....

This is a game changer! 🔥

Performance after (with Webflow Plugin)

Why did we develop a native RGPD cookie management solution in Webflow?

1) 100% free

Once developed in Webflow, the solution is free for life, as it is open source. No advertising, no more monthly bill, no more dependence on one more tool etc.

2) Unlimited number of cookies with Google Tag Manager  

By using the integration with Google Tag Manager you have the possibility to plug an unlimited number of trackers to use on your website. Use 1 or 100 cookies, for example: analytics, hotjar, facebook pixels, hubspot, etc for the same price... 0 €.  

Pro tips: leave the choice of preferences with a "I want to choose" button.  

3) Customization directly in the Webflow designer 🔥

Your HTML/CSS cookie banner is directly in the Webflow CMS. It is therefore possible to modify it 100% and create visuals adapted to your company's graphic charter.

Pro Tips: add a keyword to the banner to boost your on-page SEO

4) A significant improvement in our audit scores in the Lighthouse

The RGPD compliance of your website does not yet officially affect the SEO performance of your website. But the quality of your code does. When we were using Axeptio's solution, some performance audit analysis data was not working for us.

The application of the 100% native cookie banner has considerably improved our overall performance.

5) 1 second faster on the mobile version (data TestMySite by Google)

Application of the case described in point number 4 on the purpose: to improve the performance of our site and thus our user experience. Action on page: we have saved 1 second on the loading time of the mobile version of Digidop.fr!
