## Description

**WordPress privacy compliance without the complexity. Cirv Comply gives you a customizable
cookie consent banner, privacy policy generator, and consent logging — all in one
lightweight plugin.**

GDPR fines have exceeded $4.5 billion. The EU Accessibility Act is in effect. CCPA
enforcement is accelerating. Your WordPress site needs proper cookie consent and
privacy compliance — Cirv Comply makes it effortless.

#### Why You Need This

 * **$4.5B+ in GDPR fines** issued to date — and growing
 * **CCPA enforcement** now includes small businesses
 * **EU Cyber Resilience Act** (Sept 2026) adds new requirements
 * **96% of websites** have cookie compliance issues
 * **One plugin** handles consent, policy, and logging

#### Free Features

**Customizable Cookie Consent Banner**
 Choose from 4 positions (bottom bar, top
bar, corner popup). Customize colors, text, and button labels. Accept All, Reject,
and granular Cookie Settings options.

**Cookie Categories**
 4 built-in categories: Necessary (always on), Analytics, 
Marketing, and Other. Visitors choose exactly which cookies they accept.

**Privacy Policy Generator**
 Generate a privacy policy based on your WordPress 
setup. Detects WooCommerce, contact form plugins, and includes cookie policy, data
rights, and retention sections.

**Consent Logging**
 Logs visitor consent decisions with timestamps. IP addresses
stored as SHA-256 hashes for GDPR compliance. Proof of consent for regulators.

**Consent Statistics Dashboard**
 See total consents, acceptance/rejection rates,
and custom selections at a glance.

#### Pro Features

   Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Mailchimp, and 50+ plugins

## FAQ

### Does this make my site GDPR compliant?

Cirv Comply handles cookie consent, consent logging, and privacy policy generation—
three major GDPR requirements. Full GDPR compliance also requires proper data processing
agreements, security measures, and organizational policies.

### Do visitors see the banner on every visit?

No. Once a visitor makes a choice (accept, reject, or custom), a cookie stores their
preference. The banner won’t appear again until the cookie expires (default: 365
days).

### Is the consent log GDPR compliant?

Yes. IP addresses are stored as SHA-256 hashes using WordPress salts. This provides
proof of consent for regulators without storing identifiable personal data.

### Does the banner slow down my site?

No. The banner uses vanilla JavaScript (no jQuery) and inline CSS. There are no 
external API calls, no CDN dependencies, and no render-blocking resources.

### Can I customize the banner appearance?

Yes. You can change background color, text color, button color, banner text, button
labels, and position (bottom, top, corner popup).

### Does this block cookies before consent?

The current version shows a consent banner and logs preferences. For automatic script/
cookie blocking before consent, upgrade to Pro which integrates with your analytics
and marketing scripts.

### What happens when someone clicks “Reject”?

Only the “Necessary” cookie category is accepted. The consent cookie itself is set(
to remember their choice), but analytics, marketing, and other categories are marked
as rejected.

### Can other plugins check consent status?

Yes! Use the `cirvco_has_consent('analytics')` function in your theme or plugin 
code to check if a visitor has consented to a specific category.
