## Description

Vlad Enterprises Cookie Consent is a lightweight, GDPR-minded cookie consent solution.
It shows a consent banner on the first visit, gates analytics and marketing scripts
until the visitor opts in, and automatically clears tracking cookies when consent
is withdrawn.

Scripts are blocked _before_ they run (not just hidden), so no analytics or marketing
code executes without consent. A preferences modal lets visitors toggle categories
at any time, and a shortcode or JavaScript API lets them reopen it later.

#### Key features

 * Consent banner shown automatically on first visit.
 * Preferences modal with per-category toggles (Necessary, Analytics, Marketing).
 * Script gating by consent: mark scripts with `type="text/plain"` and `data-category`
   and they only run once allowed.
 * Auto-clear of common analytics/marketing cookies (`_ga`, `_gid`, `_gcl_au`, `
   _fbp`, `fr`, `hubspotutk`, and more) when a category is declined.
 * Customizable banner position (5 positions), light/dark theme, cookie name and
   expiry.
 * `[ccve_settings]` shortcode to drop a “Cookie Settings” link anywhere.
 * JavaScript API: `CookieConsent.show()`, `.showPreferences()`, `.acceptAll()`,`.
   rejectAll()`, `.getPreferences()`, `.reset()`.
 * Block and widget for the settings link.
 * Built-in English and Romanian text, fully editable.
 * Responsive design; runs early on `wp_head` so gating applies before third-party
   code loads.

This plugin helps you collect and respect consent. It does not, by itself, make 
your site legally compliant — you are responsible for your cookie policy and for
categorizing your own scripts correctly.

### External services

This plugin does not connect to, or send any data to, any external service. It runs
entirely on your own site.

Cookie and tag detection is performed locally in the visitor’s browser by inspecting
the cookies and `<script>` tags already present on the page. Service names such 
as `googletagmanager.com` or `connect.facebook.net` appear in the plugin only as
text patterns used to recognise tags that your own site has added — the plugin itself
never makes requests to those domains.

## Blocks

This plugin provides 1 block.

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install the ZIP via Plugins
    Add New  Upload Plugin.
 2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress.
 3. Go to Settings  Cookie Consent to configure categories, position, theme, and text.
 4. Mark any analytics/marketing scripts with `type="text/plain"` and a `data-category`
    attribute so they are gated by consent.

## FAQ

### How do I stop a script from running until consent is given?

Change its type to `text/plain` and add a category, for example:

    ```
    <script type="text/plain" data-category="analytics">/* Google Analytics */</script>
    ```

External scripts work the same way:

    ```
    <script type="text/plain" data-category="marketing" src="https://example.com/pixel.js"></script>
    ```

The script runs only after the visitor accepts that category.

### How can visitors reopen the preferences later?

Use the shortcode `[ccve_settings text="Cookie Settings"]` in any post, page, or
widget, or call `CookieConsent.showPreferences()` from your own button.

### Does it clear cookies when consent is withdrawn?

Yes. When a category is declined, the plugin removes cookies matching common analytics
and marketing patterns.

### Is it multilingual?

It ships with English and Romanian strings, and all banner/modal text is editable
in the settings.

## Changelog

#### 1.2.1

 * Display name changed to “Vlad Enterprises Cookie Consent” for a distinctive, 
   directory-compliant name. The text domain remains `cookie-consent-ve` (the current
   slug) until the new slug is reserved.

#### 1.2.0

 * Renamed the plugin display name to “Vlad Enterprises Cookie Consent”.

#### 1.1.9

 * Prefixed the option, settings group and shortcode (`ccve_settings`) to avoid 
   conflicts with other plugins. Existing settings are migrated automatically from
   the old option name.
 * Escaped the inline config output with `wp_json_encode()` using HTML/JS-safe flags.
 * Documented that the plugin uses no external services.

#### 1.1.8

 * Removed the self-update-from-GitHub feature (overwriting plugin files from an
   external source is not permitted on WordPress.org; updates come through the directory).
 * Removed the unused functions-helper.php example file, which contained a hardcoded
   plugin path. The plugin determines its own location via plugin_dir_url(**FILE**).

#### 1.1.7

 * Directory compliance: distinct Plugin URI and Author URI, WordPress.org username
   as author, explicit License URI.
 * Added WordPress.org readme.
