Founding story
CookieYes emerged from the GDPR Cookie Consent WordPress plugin built by Anvar T K's company Mozilor, which also produces WebToffee and BootstrapDash. Anvar T K, a Mechanical Engineering graduate of the College of Engineering, Tiruvananthapuram, previously co-founded an IT services firm and a product company before starting Mozilor solo, where he serves as CEO and co-founder. When users of the WordPress-only plugin asked for solutions for non-WordPress sites, the team extended it into a platform-independent product.

Self-serve SaaS sold on a freemium, per-domain subscription basis, supplemented by enterprise contracts and partner channels (agency and affiliate programs).

History
Founded in 2018, CookieYes started as a WordPress plugin (GDPR Cookie Consent) intended to help web developers and website owners meet cookie compliance obligations following the GDPR. As non-WordPress users requested equivalent tooling and privacy regulation expanded internationally, the team built a platform-independent standalone cookie consent solution. The portfolio subsequently grew to include the WordPress plugin, the CookieYes web application, a Shopify app, and Agency and Affiliate Partner Programs, reaching over 1.5 million websites.
