Why teams move.

Complianz is good value if every site you run is WordPress: it lives in wp-admin and the licence is cheap. Katla has a WordPress and WooCommerce plugin too, but the case for it starts when the estate is not all WordPress - a Next.js app, a storefront or a docs site all 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 Complianz.

Deactivate Complianz 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 Complianz and install the Katla plugin, or add the script tag
  4. Move any script-blocking rules across - Katla maps handles or URL fragments to categories
