Depends

Should I use iubenda?

360° compliance for global data privacy laws: privacy policies, cookie consent, ROPA, terms and more. - iubenda.com

· 1 month ago

Buy it if you run a small website or app that needs GDPR/CCPA policies and cookie consent on a budget. Skip it for Shopify stores or enterprise consent programs — users report friction there and stronger-fit tools exist.
