CookieKita — GDPR Consent & Cookie Banner

Description

CookieKita is the WordPress companion plugin to cookiekita.com, a GDPR/ePrivacy consent management platform. It does the on-site work — blocking trackers before consent, installing your tags consent-aware, and executing data requests — while the dashboard handles the consent log, cookie scanner and compliance reporting.

What it does

• 🍪 Cookie consent banner — auto-injects the CookieKita banner, localized to the WordPress site language.
• 🛡 Real tracker blocking — holds back Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel, Hotjar, Clarity, LinkedIn, TikTok and 30+ other services until the visitor consents. A banner that only shows without blocking is not compliant — CookieKita actually blocks.
• 🔌 Integrations directory — a catalogue of 37 recognised services, each auto-blocked and mapped to the right consent category.
• ⚡ Consent-aware tag installer — paste your GA4 / Meta Pixel / GTM (and many more) ID and CookieKita installs the official tag for you as a blocked script that only fires after the matching consent. You become the bridge, not just the blocker.
• 🛒 WooCommerce eCommerce tracking — automatically sends view_item, add_to_cart, begin_checkout and purchase to GA4 / Google Tag Manager and your ad pixels (Meta, TikTok, Pinterest, Snap, Reddit). Analytics events fire on analytics consent; ad events on marketing consent — fully consent-gated.
• 🟢 Google Consent Mode v2 & Microsoft UET Consent Mode — consent signals are forwarded automatically.
• 🌐 GPC / DNT signals — honours Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track.
• 📊 Cookie declaration shortcode — [cookiekita_cookies] renders a live table of the cookies discovered by the CookieKita scanner.
• 📨 DSAR form shortcode — [cookiekita_dsar] adds a GDPR data-subject-request form to any page.
• 🤖 Auto-execute DSAR (opt-in) — verified deletion/export requests are executed via the WordPress Personal Data API and WooCommerce privacy hooks, with an audit log.

Requirements

• A free or paid account at cookiekita.com.
• Your Site Key (32 hex characters) from the CookieKita dashboard. If you download the plugin from your dashboard, the key is pre-configured for you.

External services

This plugin connects to the CookieKita service (cookiekita.com) — it is a companion plugin for that platform and requires a CookieKita account to function. The connection is used for the features below.

1. Banner script & configuration — On every front-end page the plugin loads the consent banner script from https://cookiekita.com/banner.js and fetches your banner configuration and cookie list from https://cookiekita.com/functions/v1/. Your public Site Key is sent so the correct configuration is returned. No personal data is sent for this.

2. Connection / heartbeat — When you save your Site Key (and roughly once a day afterwards) the plugin sends your site URL, plugin version, WordPress version and PHP version to https://cookiekita.com/functions/v1/verify-wp-site so the dashboard can show connection status and register the DSAR webhook. It also checks whether the site was disconnected from the dashboard.

3. DSAR webhook — When auto-execute DSAR is enabled, CookieKita sends signed data-subject requests (containing the requester’s email) to the plugin so they can be fulfilled on your site.

By using this plugin you agree to the CookieKita Terms of Service (https://cookiekita.com/terms) and Privacy Policy (https://cookiekita.com/privacy).

Optional third-party tags (only loaded if you enable them)

CookieKita does not load any of the third-party services below by default. The consent-aware tag installer loads a provider’s official script only when you, the site administrator, enter that provider’s ID / enable it, and even then the script is held back until the visitor gives the matching consent (analytics or marketing). When a tag fires, the visitor’s browser loads the provider’s script directly and that provider receives standard analytics/advertising data (e.g. page views, events, IP address, cookie/device identifiers) — what is sent and when is determined by that provider. Review each provider’s terms and privacy policy before enabling it:
