Alternatives to the Usercentrics app (Cookie Consent for MyWebsite Creator)

Valid for MyWebsite Creator.

The Usercentrics app for MyWebsite Creator will no longer be developed or supported as of November 2024. New installations will no longer be possible, but already active installations can still be used. This article provides information about the alternative consent management platform Termly.

Please note that paid Usercentrics plans can still be used through the implementation of a script (HTML code snippet). Instructions on how to implement a script are provided using Termly as an example in the section “Using Alternative Termly Plans” in this article.

Please Note

IONOS recommends switching to a paid Usercentrics plan or an alternative consent management platform (CMP) for security reasons and to meet GDPR requirements. In principle, the CMP can be freely chosen.
