ConsentBase – Lightweight GDPR Cookie Compliance

FAQ

Does this support full GDPR compliance?

Absolutely. The core of GDPR requires “prior consent before tracking.” ConsentBase Pro provides the robust technical foundation needed for compliance by intercepting and freezing third-party scripts (like GA4 and Meta Pixel) until the visitor explicitly clicks “Accept”. Combined with our self-hosted audit logs, you have the essential verifiable evidence to document every consent action as required by law.

Do I need to write code to block scripts?

Absolutely not. ConsentBase Pro is designed to automatically identify and “freeze” tracking scripts across your site—whether they are added manually or via third-party plugins. Simply activate the plugin, and our hardcore interception logic takes over. Note: For best results, please deactivate any other cookie consent or privacy banner plugins to avoid logic conflicts. ConsentBase Pro will seamlessly intercept tracking codes added by your existing marketing tools or theme.

How does ConsentBase differ from free cookie plugins?

The difference is in the enforcement. Most free plugins are “visual only”—they display a banner but fail to stop background tracking. ConsentBase Pro features our proprietary “Hardcore Interception” technology. It physically prevents data from being sent to third parties (like Google or Meta) until the visitor clicks “Accept,” ensuring you are technically compliant, not just visually.

Do I need coding knowledge to use it?

Absolutely not. ConsentBase Pro is built for non-tech users. Through our intuitive visual interface, you can manage your compliance logic without touching a single line of code. Simply activate the plugin, and our “Hardcore Interception” engine automatically identifies and controls your tracking scripts for you—handling all the complex technical blocking behind the scenes.

Where is the data stored?

Your data stays under your control. All consent and compliance logs are stored exclusively within your own WordPress database. Unlike other services, we never access, store, or resell your visitor data. You maintain 100% data sovereignty and total privacy for your users.

Why don’t we use Google Consent Mode yet?

Because we prioritize total data sovereignty and strict privacy. Unlike GCM, which may still send “pings” to Google servers before consent, ConsentBase Pro employs a “Zero-Leakage” policy. We hard-block all scripts at the server-level, ensuring no data ever reaches third-party servers until your visitors explicitly grant permission. We believe in “Consent First,” not “Tracking First.”

Does Hardcore Interception affect my ad performance?

Strict compliance is a strategic choice. By prioritizing privacy, you ensure that 100% of the data in your ad account comes from explicitly consented users. While “Hardcore Interception” prevents tracking before consent—which may lead to a lower volume of raw data compared to “leakier” plugins—it guarantees the highest quality of verified signals. You are building a sustainable, long-term marketing strategy based on real trust, protecting your ad accounts from the risks of non-compliant data tracking.
