Cookie Consent – WordPress Cookie Plugin

Cookie Consent is a WordPress plugin designed to help website owners comply with privacy regulations such as GDPR and CCPA by displaying a customizable cookie consent banner to visitors. This plugin allows administrators to set up a clear and attractive notice that informs users about cookie usage and offers them options to accept, reject, or manage their preferences by category.

The plugin includes a guided three-step setup wizard that facilitates the initial configuration: choose the compliance model (GDPR with opt-in or CCPA with opt-out), configure the banner design, and scan the site to detect active cookies. The scanner uses a headless browser to identify cookies set by JavaScript, third-party integrations, and dynamic content, automatically categorizing them as necessary, analytical, marketing, functional, or uncategorized.

Its standout features include automatic blocking of non-essential scripts before obtaining consent, a cookie manager with manual editing options, a script manager with per-script overrides, consent logging with an audited history, and configurable consent expiration (from 1 to 365 days). The banner is fully customizable in terms of design, colors, texts, buttons, and position, with a live preview that allows you to see changes in real time on both desktop and mobile.

The plugin also offers support for Global Privacy Control (GPC) and links to
