  • Added new script-blocking presets for Hotjar and Sourcebuster with precise regex-based source matching.
  • Added preset description and expiration translations for all 9 supported languages.
  • Improved frontend localization for cookie preset texts: preset descriptions and expiration values are now localized in the consent modal and in the [ccwps_cookie_list] output.

1.0.7

  • Added translations for new font-detection UI across all 9 supported admin languages.
  • Updated text domain slug to match WordPress.org plugin directory slug (web-pixel-studio-cookie-consent-eu).
