Description

Arqam360 is a consent-aware customer data platform built for Saudi and GCC e-commerce. Beyond a consent banner: it captures events server-side, forwards them to your ad platforms with consent enforcement, and activates audiences from your first-party data. Get PDPL, GDPR, and UAE PDPA compliant — no code, no configuration, no developer needed.

Key Features:

Google Consent Mode v2 — fires consent signals before any tag loads
18 regulations covered — Saudi PDPL, UAE PDPA, GDPR, CCPA, plus Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, Jordan, Lebanon, Brazil LGPD, Canada PIPEDA, UK GDPR, and more
113-cookie classifier — including MENA-specific services (Tabby, Tamara, Mada, STC Pay, Salla, Zid) that global CMPs miss
Bilingual cookie declarations — every cookie ships with English + Arabic descriptions, on every plan
Native Arabic RTL — built for MENA merchants from day one
AI Cookie Scanner — discover every cookie and tracker (Pro plan)
Server-side event forwarding — Meta CAPI, GA4, sGTM, TikTok, Snap, LinkedIn, HubSpot, Mixpanel, BigQuery, Google Enhanced Conversions
Audience activation — segment your consented first-party data and sync to ad platforms (Pro/Agency plan)
30+ Customization Options — colors, position, text, categories
Auto Regime Detection — detect visitor regulatory regime by IP location
Script + request quarantine — block trackers BEFORE they fire, not just after
IAB TCF 2.2 — optional programmatic-ads consent string
GPC Support — respect Global Privacy Control browser signals

Works with WooCommerce and any WordPress site.

External Services

This plugin connects to the Arqam360 service to function:

Arqam360 CDN (cdn.arqam360.com) — The consent banner JavaScript is loaded from Arqam360’s CDN. This script renders the cookie consent banner on your site and handles consent collection. No personal visitor data is sent to the CDN; it only serves the static JavaScript file.
Arqam360 API (api.arqam360.com) — When an API key is configured, the plugin fetches your widget configuration (colors, text, position, compliance settings) from the Arqam360 API. Consent records are also sent to this API for storage and analytics. Your API key authenticates these requests.

A free Arqam360 account is required. Sign up at arqam360.com.

Installation

Upload the plugin folder to /wp-content/plugins/
Activate through the Plugins menu
Go to Settings > Arqam360
Enter your API key from arqam360.com
Save — the consent banner appears immediately

FAQ

Do I need a separate account?: Yes. Sign up at arqam360.com — 14-day free trial, no credit card required.
Does this work without WooCommerce?: Yes! Works on any WordPress site.
What is Google Consent Mode v2?: Google requires consent signals before tracking tags fire. Without it, your ads lose conversion tracking. This plugin handles it automatically.
Does it support Arabic?: Yes — native Arabic RTL. Auto-detects language based on visitor preferences.
