Usercentrics, a data privacy technology firm, has announced that its Consent Management Platform (CMP) and Cookiebot CMP have achieved expanded recognition in G2's Summer 2026 Grid Reports. Cookiebot CMP claimed the top spot in the Cookie Tracking category, climbing from 12th place, and secured its first Enterprise-tier badge. Usercentrics CMP moved from regional recognition to a global Leader badge on G2's Grid Report.
According to the company, Cookiebot CMP nearly doubled its badge count from five to nine this cycle, and was named one of the most improved products on G2 worldwide. New Small-Business leadership badges in both the EMEA and global grids were also awarded. The platforms collectively received 'Users Love Us' badges, granted to solutions with at least 20 reviews averaging 4.0 stars or higher.
Customer feedback on G2 highlights ease of implementation, seamless integration with tools like Google Tag Manager, flexible banner customisation, and reliable privacy compliance. Businesses operating across multiple European markets reported that Usercentrics CMP replaced fragmented, market-specific solutions with a single auditable consent framework, simplifying regulatory discussions with legal teams and auditors. The configurability also allows marketing and legal teams to work independently within the platform, reducing engineering bottlenecks.
Usercentrics processes over 8.8 billion user consents monthly across 2.4 million websites and apps in 195 countries. The company's platform—spanning consent management, server-side tagging, and AI data governance—aims to provide compliance infrastructure for businesses in an AI-first regulatory environment. G2, the software marketplace used by over 100 million people annually, bases its rankings on verified peer reviews.
For UK businesses, these rankings underscore the growing importance of robust consent management amid tightening data privacy regulations, including the UK's Data Protection and Digital Information Bill. Companies relying on cookie tracking must ensure compliance to avoid fines and reputational damage. The recognition of Cookiebot CMP's Enterprise-tier badge may influence procurement decisions for larger organisations seeking scalable solutions.
