A cookie banner alone doesn’t protect your business
Warnings can arrive at any time, and unexpected costs add up fast.
Warning letters arrive without notice
A competitor, a privacy activist, or a data protection authority can file a complaint at any time. Most businesses don’t find out about a banner issue until the letter arrives.
Specialized legal help isn’t easy to find under pressure
When a warning lands, you need a lawyer who understands cookie compliance, not general counsel. Searching for specialized advice under pressure costs time and money.
Your setup can break without you noticing
A banner that worked last month may not work today. New cookies, vendor changes, or plugin updates can silently break your setup.
Unexpected costs can derail your budget
Legal fees, settlement costs, and the internal time spent managing a claim add up fast. Without coverage, a single warning can affect your quarterly budget.

Early warnings catch issues before they become claims
Regular compliance scans check your cookie banner setup. The early warning system flags problems as they appear, so your team can address them before they escalate.
Partner lawyers review your case
If an eligible claim reaches you, a qualified partner lawyer assesses your situation and recommends a course of action. No scrambling to find specialized legal help under pressure.
Cost coverage for eligible claims
An unexpected warning doesn’t have to turn into an unexpected invoice. Legal Shield includes cost coverage for eligible cookie compliance claims per the Legal Shield Annex.

Common questions about Legal Shield
Legal Shield provides two things: (1) regular compliance scans with early warnings to help prevent issues, and (2) access to partner lawyers plus cost coverage if an eligible cookie compliance claim reaches you. Coverage terms are defined in the Legal Shield Annex.
Legal Shield is currently available in Germany, Italy, Spain, France, and the UK. Availability depends on the local legal framework and partner lawyer network in each country.
Eligible claims are defined in the Legal Shield Annex, which is part of your consentmanager agreement. Generally, it covers cookie banner compliance warnings where your consentmanager setup was active and configured. Check the annex for full terms.
Once you submit a claim through the dashboard, a partner lawyer is assigned to review your case. Response times depend on case complexity, but the process is designed to move quickly since compliance warnings come with deadlines.
Legal Shield is included from the Starter plan (€23/mo). There is no separate fee for Legal Shield itself. Cost coverage for eligible claims is included per the annex terms.
A correctly configured banner reduces risk, but it doesn’t eliminate it. Vendor changes, plugin updates, or new cookies can break compliance silently. Legal Shield’s regular scans catch those changes, and the cost coverage protects you if something slips through.
No. Legal Shield is an add-on to the consentmanager cookie banner. The compliance scans and early warning system rely on the CMP integration to monitor your setup.
