Will definitely recommend it and install it on other websites I manage. Thanks for the product!

Pros:

It's so easy to set up and makes the consent management work like a charm.

Cons:

I did the mistake to use my private mail for signing up for our website at work, would like to change that but it's currently not possible

This is a great step forward at empowering users, Imagine if this becomes the standard for all the different consents.

It took less than 5 minutes to integrate, it recognized all the tracking we do in our website and generated cookie policies for all of them.

Pros:

So easy to integrate!

Cons:

Maybe more languages?

Congrats on launching! This is a space where good UX is still very necessary. One caveat, however: "Scrolling to accept" as a design pattern is a veeeery generous interpretation of consent under GDPR. Personally, I would get really pissed if I scrolled down on a page too quickly and they used that to infer my consent to tracking ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@notdanielfosco Hey man! Thanks so much for the feedback! Really valuable to us as this is very early days :D You're absolutely right! I thought a lot about the ethics of this feature whilst designing it, and whilst it's not 100% there, I'd say it's definitely a step in the right direction, and here's my thinking (and some context): • Incumbents in the space are pretty evil in my opinion. Scroll to consent isn't a feature we thought of ourselves, but one we saw our competitors using to acquire data-hungry customers such as media companies. So the context is: you have probably visited a site that has used scroll to consent, but you just haven't noticed it because the cookie banner disappeared instead of telling you what it was doing. That's what I'd consider an unethical implementation of scrolling to consent. I'd rather compete with them, but ensure it's as ethical as can be - and there's a ways to go there but rest assured, we're on it :) • The question for me as a designer became how do you turn 'implicit consent' like the above into a more user-directed action? You can try your very best to make the user notice and then in turn make a more informed decision about their data. This to me speaks to the volume of the transition, and there's certainly work to do there - I would personally say we're only 30% there in ensuring the user scrolling actually sees the progress indicator and diverts their attention from the webpage to the Consent Manager. So I'm prototyping a few things that will increase the volume and hopefully address this :D • Lastly, scrolling hella fast down a page is something people totally do - I'm currently testing a few different capped speeds for scroll to consent so that you don't inadvertently opt-in to something you don't want to. As well as that, we'll be rolling out an Undo button to make sure you get the opportunity to review what you did. I hope the above mitigates any concerns about the ethics of the feature, because the intention isn't for it to be a dark pattern - but to turn an existing dark pattern, already on the rest of the web - into something that empowers users with transparency. Thanks again for your feedback, Daniel! If you have anything else please please please do let me know so we can make this better. :D

Awesome product — We started using Metomic a few months ago and today, it's part of our regular web stack. Having tested a handful of alternatives, I'd say Metomic is the smartest, most sophisticated solution in its space right now. Keep up the great work!

Okay this is EXACTLY what I was looking for for my privacy-first products. I love it when a product launches and it's like someone understood your exact problem and executed it perfectly.

I've been seeing a lot more articles about ethics especially with cookies. I think this is a great step in the right direction for sites to being more transparent with their visitors!
