Overview

c15t is an open source consent management framework for web apps. It ships React and Next.js components — ConsentManagerProvider, ConsentBanner and ConsentDialog — plus a headless core for other frameworks, and gates third-party scripts such as Meta Pixel behind consent. It runs against a hosted backend or self-hosted, and a CLI scaffolds an initial setup.

Best for
Development teams that want a code-controlled cookie consent banner in modern web apps

Strengths and trade-offs

Strengths

  • Headless core works with React, Vue, Svelte, Angular and others
  • Open source, with hosted and self-hosted deployment modes
  • Built-in i18n and geo rules for 15+ privacy jurisdictions
  • CLI scaffolds a banner; styling uses your own CSS and tokens

Trade-offs

  • No pricing published for the hosted mode; self-hosting needs your own infra
  • Speed comparison against OneTrust and Ketch is the vendor's own benchmark
  • Developer-led setup; no non-technical admin console is described

How this score is made up

Each dimension is scored out of 100 and combined into the headline score using fixed weights.

  • MCP support

    Whether an agent can drive the product through the Model Context Protocol, and how much setup that takes.

  • API quality

    Public API surface: machine-readable spec, official SDKs, documented auth, errors, rate limits and versioning.

  • Documentation

    Publicly reachable docs — coverage, freshness, code samples and machine readability.

  • Agent friendliness

    How readable the site is to an automated client: llms.txt, structured data, server-rendered content, crawler access.

  • Changelog

    A public, dated record of what shipped and when — the clearest signal that a product is still alive.

  • Marketing site structure

    Whether the site answers a buyer's questions: clear positioning, the pages that matter, and accessibility.

  • Page speed

    How fast the site loads for real visitors: Chrome UX Report 75th-percentile LCP, INP and CLS, with a Lighthouse mobile run standing in where a site has too little traffic for field data.

  • Operational trust

    Status page and incident history, security disclosure, compliance and data-processing documentation.

Measured, but not part of the score

Useful to know, but not a mark for or against the product — so these do not affect the ranking.

  • Openness

    Source availability, self-hosting, data export and open standards. Scored and shown, but not part of the composite — paid SaaS is not worse for being paid SaaS.

  • Maintenance

    Release cadence and repository activity. Scored and shown, but not part of the composite — it is only measurable for open repositories.
