About us - The history of CCM19
From web agency to CMP provider!
CCM19 is a product of Papoo Software & Media GmbH from Bonn.
Originally, we were an internet & marketing agency that created websites with our barrier-free CMS "Papoo" and successfully supported our customers with marketing topics such as Google Ads and search engine optimization.
However, due to the resounding success of CCM19, we have now completely withdrawn from these business areas and devote all our energy to customer support and the further development of CCM19.
Why cookie management all of a sudden?
From 2018 onwards, our customers approached us more and more frequently due to the data protection developments surrounding the GDPR and asked us what the best cookie consent management solution was for their website.
Unfortunately, we were unable to name a favorite from the options available on the market. None of the offers convinced us.
The tools were too expensive, not user-friendly and, most problematically, often stored data on US servers.
There was no user-friendly and GDPR-compliant solution that we would have liked for our customers' websites or for our own websites.
As the market did not offer a satisfactory solution, we decided to develop our own cookie banner without further ado.
We build our own cookie banner
We have always had a strong team of developers at our disposal and in the past we have gained a lot of experience in programming innovative software solutions. We therefore felt that we were more than up to the task.
At the start of the project, we noted down what was particularly important to us in a cookie consent tool, in addition to GDPR compliance, so that we could recommend it to all our customers without hesitation:
- The tool should be optionally installable on your own server. This means that the tool can also be used by companies for which cloud solutions are out of the question due to the level of data protection.
- For small websites with only a few visitors per month, the banner should be permanently free to use and the costs should also remain low and fair for websites with low monetization.
- As cookie guidelines and the correct implementation on websites can often be complex, free and easily accessible support in German is essential.
- The look of the cookie banner should be as easy as possible to adapt to the CI concept of the pages. For advanced users, CSS instructions should enable almost limitless individual modeling.
- Internet agencies should be provided with a multi-client capable solution that enables attractive margins and can easily scale with their own growth.

Release of the software
In fall 2019, the time had finally come. After we had tested the tool extensively on our own sites and client sites, the software was released on www.ccm19.de.
The positive reactions and lots of constructive customer feedback very quickly gave us the certainty that we had not only met our needs with the result, but also those of many website operators.
Since this successful launch of the software, we have been highly motivated to develop more and more features for our new favorite cookie banner and are proud of what we have created with the help of the community.
