Description
CookieFix is a Consent Management Platform (CMP) that helps your WordPress site comply with GDPR, CCPA, and ePrivacy regulations.
Features:
- Automatic third-party script blocking until visitor consent

- Cookie declaration table via shortcode
- Google Consent Mode v2 support
- TCF 2.0 compatible
- Multi-language support (auto-detection)

How it works:
- The plugin injects a lightweight inline script into your site’s
<head> - This script automatically blocks third-party cookies and tracking scripts
- A consent banner appears asking visitors for their preferences
- Scripts are only unblocked after the visitor gives consent
- All consent records are stored for GDPR compliance proof
External Services
This plugin connects to the CookieFix consent management service (operated by CookieFix, https://cookiefix.ro). It is a client for that service and does not work without a CookieFix account and Domain Key.
What is loaded and sent, and when:
- On every front-end page load, the plugin outputs an inline script that fetches the consent widget from
https://cdn.cookiefix.ro/cc.js(withhttps://cookiefix.ro/api/public/widgetas a fallback) and the banner configuration for your Domain Key fromhttps://cookiefix.ro/api/public/config/{domain-key}. The request includes the visitor’s IP address and user agent, as any HTTP request does. - When a visitor accepts, rejects or customizes cookie categories, the choice is sent to
https://cookiefix.ro/api/public/consenttogether with an anonymous consent identifier, the chosen categories, the page URL, the banner version and the visitor’s user agent. The IP address is used only to derive the country and is stored hashed. This record is the site owner’s proof of consent under GDPR. - When you save the Domain Key in Settings > CookieFix, the plugin validates it against
https://cookiefix.ro/api/public/config/{domain-key}. - The
[cookiefix_declaration]shortcode loads the cookie declaration table for your domain fromhttps://cdn.cookiefix.ro/cd.js.
No data is sent to CookieFix from the WordPress admin other than the Domain Key validation above. The plugin does not send any data about your WordPress users.

FAQ
-
Where do I get a Domain Key?
-
Sign up for a free account at cookiefix.ro and add your domain. The Domain Key will be shown in the “Your Scripts” section.
-
Does it work with WooCommerce?
-
Yes. The plugin automatically whitelists WooCommerce core scripts and payment gateway scripts so they are never blocked.
-
Does it work with caching plugins?
-
Yes. The banner script is inline HTML and is preserved by all caching plugins including WP Super Cache, W3 Total Cache, WP Rocket, and LiteSpeed Cache.
-
What is Blocking Mode?
-
Automatic (recommended): All third-party scripts are blocked until the visitor consents. This is the safest option for GDPR compliance.
Manual: Only scripts you have categorized in the CookieFix dashboard are blocked. Use this if automatic blocking causes issues.
