Cookie consent workflows for agencies managing multiple client sites
Client websites change. Tags change. Policies change. Consent setups should not become a scattered mix of plugins, pasted scripts and forgotten handoff notes. Lean gives agencies a lightweight CMP workflow across client websites.
The agency problem
Agencies do not manage one cookie banner. They manage dozens of client websites, each with different analytics scripts, policy text, stakeholders, launch dates and future maintenance requests.
When consent is handled site by site, the workflow becomes fragile.
Lean workflow
1. Add a client website
Create a site profile, define banner configuration and keep policy links aligned.
2. Install the embed
Use a small one-request CMP embed designed to minimize initial payload.
3. Configure Consent Mode v2
Support ad_storage, analytics_storage, ad_user_data and ad_personalization.
4. Block before consent
Keep scripts and iframes gated until the visitor's preference allows release.
5. Keep evidence
Maintain server-side consent evidence and policy/version context for follow-up.
6. Handoff cleanly
Give clients a consent setup that can be maintained after launch.
Agency pricing fit
Performance matters across every client site
A heavy CMP can become a repeat performance cost on every client project. In our benchmark, Lean's standard monolingual setup measured 1 request, 5,256 B CDP initial transfer and 4,956 B Brotli HTTP body.

FAQ
