Open Consent Infrastructure
OCI is the open-source core of Conzent — a fully functional consent management platform that you can download, inspect, modify, and self-host on your own infrastructure.
Why Open Source?
Cookie consent is a fundamental part of the internet's privacy infrastructure. We believe it should not be controlled by a handful of closed-source vendors charging premium prices for what is essentially a JavaScript popup and a database.
By releasing OCI under the Apache License 2.0, we are making a bet: that transparency and community contribution will build better software than any single company could build alone. Apache 2.0 is one of the most permissive open-source licences there is — you can inspect, modify, self-host, redistribute, and build on OCI, including commercially, with no royalties and no strings attached.
What You Get
OCI includes everything you need to run a production consent management system:
- Consent banner with customisable layouts, colours, and content
- Cookie scanning with automated categorisation
- Consent logging with full audit trail
- GDPR & CCPA compliance out of the box
- Google Consent Mode v2 support
- Multi-language content management
- REST API for programmatic access
- Admin dashboard for site and banner management
