Cookiebot Is Live in Cogny: Find Out How Much of Your GA4 and Ads Data Consent Is Costing You
When sessions in GA4 or conversions in Meta Ads drop and nothing changed in the campaigns, the cookie banner is often the reason. A new banner design, a changed default or a new region rule can move the share of visitors who allow analytics and ad cookies by several points overnight, and every tool downstream sees less.
Cookiebot (Usercentrics) is now a live MCP integration in Cogny. Your agent can read the consent numbers behind your data: how many visitors accepted or declined, what share allowed the Statistics and Marketing categories, by day and by country, and what your latest cookie scan found.
Connecting takes two values from Cookiebot Manager. No app to install and no OAuth screen.
TL;DR
- Live now, included from Cogny Solo ($9/mo).
- 3 read-only tools: consent statistics, a period comparison, and the cookie scan.
- The rates you need to explain data loss: opt-in rate, opt-out rate, and the share of consents that allowed Statistics (analytics such as GA4) and Marketing (ad pixels).
- Day by day and by country, for up to 12 months back.
- Two periods side by side with the change in percentage points, so "did consent drop when traffic did?" is one call.
- Read-only: Cookiebot's API has no write endpoints, so nothing in your banner or settings can change from Cogny.
What you can do with it
| Tool | What it gives you |
|---|---|
get_consent_stats | Opt-ins, opt-outs, implied and active opt-ins, and opt-ins for Preferences, Statistics and Marketing for one domain and date range, with rates, consents per country and one row per day |
compare_consent_periods | The same numbers for two periods (by default the period before, of equal length) and the change in each rate in percentage points |
get_cookie_scan | Every cookie and tracker the latest Cookiebot scan found on a domain: provider, category, purpose, expiry, third-party or not, and whether it waits for consent. Filter by provider, for example "google" or "facebook" |
Questions this answers in one prompt:
- "GA4 sessions fell 15% last month. Did our Statistics consent rate change?"
- "Which countries have the lowest marketing opt-in rate on www.example.com?"
- "Compare consent before and after we changed the banner on October 14."
- "Which Google and Meta cookies did the last scan find, and do they all wait for consent?"
With GA4, Google Ads or Meta Ads connected in the same workspace, the agent can line the daily consent rate up against daily sessions or conversions and tell you whether the drop is consent or something else. The weekly Data & Tracking Quality report does that check when Cookiebot is connected.
Read the numbers right
Cookiebot counts consent submissions, not visitors. A visitor who never answers the banner isn't in the counts (unless you use implied consent), so the agent compares rates and their changes, not raw consents against GA4 sessions.
How to connect it
- Sign in to Cookiebot Manager and open Settings → Your scripts.
- Copy the secret API key and the domain group ID.
- In Cogny, open Settings → Integrations, click Connect on Cookiebot and paste both.
The key is stored encrypted and only sent to Cookiebot. If your account has more than one domain group, ask about any of them by its ID; the same key works. Disconnect any time.
What it doesn't do
There are no individual consent records, no per-page or per-device breakdown, and no hourly data. Domains can't be listed through Cookiebot's API, so tell the agent which domain to read. Banner settings and scans can't be changed or started. The full list of tools and gaps is on the Cookiebot tools page.
Connect it from your Cogny dashboard and ask what share of last month's visitors your analytics could actually see.
