Choose the right consent strategy for your users and your region.

Why modes matter

Different countries have different privacy laws.

QookieQloud lets you choose how your website handles cookies based on those requirements — using Consent Modes.

You can pick between:

Strict Mode

Flexible Mode

Auto Mode

Each mode determines when and how cookies are allowed to load.

Strict Mode

Best for: GDPR, UK-GDPR, ePrivacy (EU/EEA/UK)

  • Blocks all non-essential cookies before consent
  • Consent must be explicitly given (opt-in)
  • Consent logging is required
  • 100% compliant with strictest regulations

Example countries:
Sweden, Germany, France, UK, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, etc.

Flexible mode

Best for: Regions with lighter or no cookie laws

  • Cookies can load immediately
  • Users can still opt out via the banner
  • Good for analytics-first or ad-supported websites
  • Common in U.S., Canada, and parts of Asia

Note: This mode is still transparent, but does not delay tracking.

Auto Mode

Best for: Global websites and SaaS platforms

  • Detects visitor country
  • Automatically applies Strict or Flexible based on region
  • You can override countries manually

Why it’s great:
Set once. QookieQloud handles the rest.
