FAQ
-
Is this plugin free?
-
Yes! All core features are completely free with no limits, no pageview caps, and no watermark.
-
Does it work with caching plugins?
-
Yes. The consent banner runs entirely in JavaScript and reads consent from localStorage, so it works correctly with all major caching plugins.
-
Where is consent data stored?
-
Consent is stored in your WordPress database and in the visitor’s browser localStorage. No data is sent to external servers.
-
Does it block Google Analytics until consent?
-
Yes — in the free version, scripts tagged with a
data-cookieclear-categoryattribute are blocked until the visitor gives consent. CookieClear Pro adds automatic detection and blocking without manual tagging. -
Is it compatible with Google Consent Mode v2?
-
CookieClear Pro includes full Google Consent Mode v2 support. The free version does not include GCM v2.
-
Can visitors change their consent choice?
-
Yes — a floating “Manage Cookies” button appears after consent is given, letting visitors update their preferences at any time.
-
Does it support CCPA?
-
Yes. You can enable CCPA mode in General settings, which changes the banner text to a “Do Not Sell My Personal Information” style notice.
