CookieYesCookieYesCookieYes cookie banner: speed and features
In our tests with its Nuxt integration, CookieYes showed its cookie banner in a median 284 ms on desktop. It added no measurable delay to the main content. Accept responded in under 16 ms and Reject in 16 ms. It held trackers back in 3 of 4 consent checks. We could not confirm the other check.
On an emulated mid-tier phone, the banner took 1.24 s. Per vendor docs, CookieYes supports IAB TCF, Google Consent Mode v2, Google CMP certification and Global Privacy Control. We could not confirm IAB GPP.
How fast is CookieYes’ cookie banner?
On Nuxt. We measured other CMPs on Next.js only, so this comparison uses CookieYes’ other integrations.

Were there problems testing CookieYes?
We show each missing answer as missing, never as zero.
Desktop
- CookieYes only renders on its registered host, so it ran in its own batch beside its own no-CMP page on that host.
- Its site configuration has no cookies assigned, so its bytes are probably a few KB lower than on a real site.
- There is no granular save-preferences flow to test.

When does CookieYes load, and what does it cost the page?
Lab detail for engineers. All Core Web Vitals are here. The summary leaves some of them out.
When does CookieYes start loading?
The banner was visible at 284 ms. The published results do not show when CookieYes started to load.
| Event | Time from navigation |
|---|---|
| First byte (TTFB) | 7 ms |
| First paint (FCP) | 44 ms |
| Largest paint (LCP) | 120 ms |

How do page vitals compare with no consent manager?
Each row shows the value on the page with the consent manager. It also shows how far the value moved from the same page without one.
| Measure | With CookieYes | Difference |
|---|---|---|
| TTFBTime to first byte | 7 ms | No measurable difference95% interval −3 ms to 2 ms |
| FCPFirst Contentful Paint | 44 ms | No measurable difference95% interval −8 ms to 8 ms |

| Primary content paintThe page’s main content, not the banner | 120 ms | No measurable difference95% interval −20 ms to 16 ms |
What was the largest element on screen?
LCP times the largest element on screen. If that is the banner, LCP measures the banner instead of the page.
There is no LCP attribution for this profile and framework.
What happens after a visitor clicks Accept?
The screen responded to Accept in 16 ms.
| Event | Time from the click |
|---|---|
| Screen responds | Under 16 ms |
| Banner gone | |
| Consent applied | |
| Analytics active |
How much does it download?
Initial transfer happens before the page settles. Deferred transfer comes after.

Does it block the main thread?
Long tasks are stretches over 50 ms when the page cannot respond to taps or keys.

What do returning visitors see?
A visitor who accepted on an earlier visit comes back. We check that the banner stays hidden.

On desktop, it appeared in a median 387 ms, against 471 ms for the median of the 10 CMPs measured. On an emulated mid-tier phone, it appeared in a median 2.42 s, against 2.71 s for the median of the 10 CMPs measured.
On desktop it added no measurable delay to the main content. On an emulated mid-tier phone it delayed the main content by 176 ms (95% interval 148 ms to 212 ms). Delay is the extra time before the main content appears. We compare Largest Contentful Paint on the same page, with and without a consent manager.
It passed 3 of 4 checks on desktop and on an emulated mid-tier phone. We could not confirm the other check. A check fails if a tracker runs, the page sets a cookie or data leaves the page before the visitor chooses.
Per vendor docs, CookieYes supports IAB TCF, Google Consent Mode v2, Google CMP certification and Global Privacy Control. We could not confirm IAB GPP. Feature support comes from CookieYes’ documentation. CookieBench did not test these features itself.
