Why teams move.

Borlabs Cookie is good value if every site is WordPress and you want it all on your own server: a yearly licence, unlimited pageviews, IAB TCF 2.4 in every licence, and no visitor data sent to Borlabs. Katla is a hosted service instead, run in the EU from Frankfurt, and it has no IAB TCF. The case for it starts when the estate is not all WordPress: a Next.js app, a React front end or a docs site get the same cookie inventory, consent records and generated policy, with headless mode, an SDK, a CLI and an MCP server on top.

Headless

The consent layer, without the UI you did not ask for.

  • Guard-only mode with no bundled interface
  • window.KatlaConsent plus a katla:consent event on every change
  • A React and Next.js SDK with hooks, or plain DOM if you prefer
  • The hosted banner is still one line away when you want it
Speed

4 KB headless, 18 KB with the banner - and it runs before the trackers do.

  • About 4 KB over the wire in headless mode
  • About 18 KB with the full hosted banner and your cookie data
  • Served from a CDN and cached at the edge
  • The guard runs ahead of trackers, so blocking is not a race
AI

Cookies classified and described without you writing a word.

  • Automatic classification of newly discovered cookies
  • Descriptions generated per locale, overridable when you want your own wording
  • Cookie and privacy policies generated from your real scan data
  • An MCP server, so Claude or ChatGPT can audit cookies and query consent for you
Flexibility

One consent layer across everything you run.

  • Script tag, React and Next.js SDK, or a WordPress and WooCommerce plugin
  • A CLI, so onboarding thirty sites is a script rather than an afternoon
  • A full API, and an MCP server on top of it
  • Per-locale policies and descriptions from the same source of truth
Simplicity

A price on the website and a script tag to start.

  • Published pricing - no quote, no call, no procurement cycle
  • Flat per site, per month, with no usage overage charges
  • A free tier that scans and generates a policy without a card
  • One script tag from nothing to a working banner
That's how the cookie crumbles. Except your SEO shouldn't.4.6 kB headless, and no measurable LCP cost.

MIGRATION

Moving from Borlabs Cookie.

Deactivate Borlabs Cookie before enabling Katla rather than after - two consent scripts on the same page will fight over the same cookies.

  1. Sign up here and add your domain
  2. Run a scan to build your cookie inventory
  3. Deactivate Borlabs Cookie and install the Katla plugin
  4. Move any script-blocking rules across - Katla maps handles or URL fragments to categories
