The CookieShift WordPress plugin connects your website to the CookieShift platform. Once connected, CookieShift can display a customizable cookie consent banner and preference center while the CookieShift dashboard provides tools for scanning cookies, managing consent categories, configuring supported tracking behavior, reviewing consent activity, and managing privacy-related settings. CookieShift brings cookie discovery, consent management, banner customization, multilingual tools, consent analytics, and AI-assisted privacy workflows into one connected experience. It is designed to help website owners understand what is running on their website and give visitors meaningful control over their privacy choices. #### Key Features * Cookie Consent Banner — Give visitors clear consent choices. * Preference Center — Let visitors review and update privacy preferences. * Cookie & Tracker Scanner — Discover cookies, trackers, scripts, and other technologies. * Consent Management — Organize technologies into configurable consent categories. * Supported Tracking Control — Use consent preferences to control supported non- essential tracking. * Consent Analytics — Review available consent activity and website information. * Multilingual Tools — Manage consent experiences for different languages. * AI-Assisted Privacy Workflows — Get assistance with classification, descriptions, consent content, privacy analysis, and translations. * Google Consent Mode — Configure CookieShift to communicate consent signals to supported Google services. #### How CookieShift Works CookieShift connects your WordPress website with the hosted CookieShift platform. After installing the plugin: 1. Create a new CookieShift account or connect an existing account. 2. Connect your WordPress website to a CookieShift Site ID. 3. Scan your website for cookies and tracking technologies. 4. Review and classify the technologies discovered. 5. Configure consent categories and privacy preferences. 6. Customize your cookie banner and preference center. 7. Configure supported tracking and script behavior. 8. Publish your consent configuration. 9. Monitor consent activity and scan information from the CookieShift dashboard. The WordPress plugin provides the WordPress integration and loads the CookieShift CMP. Cookie scanning, dashboard functionality, analytics, AI-assisted tools, and other hosted services are provided by the CookieShift platform. #### Cookie Consent Banner CookieShift provides a customizable cookie consent banner that helps visitors understand and manage their privacy choices. Depending on the configuration, visitors can accept cookies and tracking technologies, reject non-essential cookies, customize consent preferences, choose individual consent categories, open the preference center, and change their preferences later. Administrators can manage banner content, buttons, categories, languages, appearance, preference-center settings, and consent behavior from the CookieShift platform. #### Cookie Preference Center The CookieShift preference center gives visitors more control over their privacy choices. Administrators can organize cookies and tracking technologies into categories such as Necessary, Preferences, Analytics, Marketing, Advertising, and other non-essential technologies. Visitors can review available categories and update their preferences according to the configuration published by the website administrator. #### Cookie & Tracker Scanner CookieShift includes a hosted scanner that helps discover cookies, trackers, scripts, and other technologies used by your website. The scanner can help you: * Discover cookies and tracking technologies. * Build a cookie and technology inventory. * Find previously unknown technologies. * Identify unclassified cookies. * Review cookie purposes and classifications. * Organize technologies into consent categories. * Review changes found during later scans. Scanning is provided by the CookieShift hosted service rather than being performed entirely inside the WordPress plugin. #### Cookie & Script Control CookieShift can use visitor consent preferences to control supported non-essential tracking technologies. This can help website administrators manage technologies such as analytics, marketing, advertising, and other non-essential tracking according to the visitor’s consent state. Actual enforcement can depend on how individual scripts and tags are implemented, browser behavior, and tag loading order. Review the implementation guidance provided in your CookieShift dashboard when configuring tracking technologies. #### Consent Management CookieShift provides tools for managing the consent workflow. Administrators can configure: * Consent categories. * Accept and reject behavior. * Preference center options. * Banner content. * Banner buttons. * Cookie and tracker classifications. * Supported tracking behavior. * Languages. * Consent preferences. Configuration is managed through CookieShift, so normal banner changes do not require editing WordPress theme files. #### Google Consent Mode CookieShift can be configured to work with Google Consent Mode and communicate visitor consent signals to supported Google services. The final behavior depends on your Google tag configuration, CookieShift settings, and how Google services are implemented on your website. Always verify your tag implementation and consent configuration before publishing changes. #### Multilingual Consent CookieShift supports multilingual consent experiences for websites serving visitors in different languages and regions. Administrators can manage consent-related content for different languages through the CookieShift platform. CookieShift also provides AI-assisted translation capabilities that can help generate translation content for review before publishing. Translated content should always be reviewed before being shown to visitors. #### AI-Assisted Privacy Management CookieShift includes AI-assisted tools to simplify repetitive cookie and privacy- management tasks. Depending on your plan and configuration, AI assistance can help with: * Cookie and tracker classification. * Cookie category suggestions. * Cookie descriptions. * Consent-related content. * Privacy analysis. * Translation workflows. AI-generated results are assistance only. They should be reviewed before publishing and do not certify GDPR, CCPA, LGPD, ePrivacy, or any other legal requirement. #### Privacy & Compliance Support CookieShift provides technical tools that can help websites manage consent workflows associated with: * GDPR. * CCPA and related US privacy requirements. * LGPD. * ePrivacy. CookieShift helps website owners provide privacy choices, manage visitor consent, and control supported non-essential tracking according to their configuration. Privacy requirements vary depending on location, business activities, data processing practices, technologies, third-party services, and applicable laws. CookieShift does not guarantee legal compliance. Installing the plugin alone does not make a website legally compliant. Website owners remain responsible for their privacy notices, cookie policies, consent configuration, tracking implementation, and applicable legal requirements. #### Supported Platforms CookieShift is designed to work across multiple website platforms and technologies. Available integrations and implementation options include: * WordPress. * WooCommerce. * Joomla. * Shopify. * PrestaShop. * Wix. * React. * Custom websites through the CookieShift API. The CookieShift WordPress plugin provides the WordPress integration while the CookieShift platform provides centralized consent management and privacy tools. #### CookieShift Dashboard The CookieShift dashboard provides the central management area for connected websites. Depending on your plan and configuration, you can access: * Website management. * Cookie scanning. * Cookie and tracker inventory. * Consent categories. * Banner customization. * Preference center configuration. * Consent activity and analytics. * Compliance-related information. * AI-assisted privacy tools. * Translation tools. * Integration health. * Reports and privacy tools. #### Free Plan CookieShift provides a Free plan so website owners can get started without requiring a paid subscription. Available features and limits depend on the selected CookieShift plan and can include limits for websites, scans, AI usage, and other platform capabilities.

The plugin: * Loads the CookieShift CMP on the public website when connected. * Allows administrators to create a CookieShift account. * Allows administrators to connect an existing CookieShift account. * Connects the website to a CookieShift Site ID. * Provides access to CookieShift dashboard tools. * Shows available consent activity summaries in WordPress admin. * Provides synchronization and connection management. * Allows administrators to disconnect the website. * Stores the Site ID required for the integration. * Stores an encrypted API/module token for authenticated server-side communication. Advanced scanning, analytics, AI-assisted functionality, and hosted CMP services are provided by the CookieShift platform. ### Configuration After connecting your website: 1. Open the CookieShift dashboard. 2. Run a website scan. 3. Review discovered cookies and tracking technologies. 4. Classify and organize technologies into consent categories. 5. Configure your consent preferences. 6. Customize the cookie banner and preference center. 7. Configure supported tracking behavior. 8. Publish your configuration. 9. Test the banner and preference center on your website. ### Managing the Connection The WordPress admin integration allows administrators to: * Create a new CookieShift account. * Connect an existing CookieShift account. * Connect the current website. * Synchronize module status. * View available consent information. * Open CookieShift dashboard tools. * Disconnect the website. Disconnecting removes the locally stored API token. The CookieShift cloud account and website property are not deleted. The Site ID may be retained so the website can be reconnected to the same CookieShift property when possible. ### Privacy / Data Handling When connected, the plugin can store: * CookieShift Site ID. * Encrypted API/module token. * Site URL or installation identity. * Optional workspace metadata. The API/module token is stored in WordPress options using encrypted storage based on site salts. The token is used for server-side communication with CookieShift and is not intentionally exposed on public website pages. The hosted CookieShift CMP can process consent decisions according to the configuration associated with your CookieShift website. Uninstalling the plugin removes its stored CookieShift options from the WordPress database. ### External Services This plugin connects to the CookieShift service. [Service](https://cookieshift.com/) [Terms of Service](https://cookieshift.com/terms-and-conditions) [Privacy Policy](https://cookieshift.com/legal/privacy) The service is used for: * Consent banner and CMP delivery. * Consent configuration. * Cookie and tracker scanning. * Consent activity and analytics. * Module and integration health. * AI-assisted privacy functionality. * Translation functionality. * Synchronization between WordPress and CookieShift. Information transmitted may include the CookieShift Site ID, server-side authentication information, website installation information, consent-related data handled by the hosted CMP, and cookie or script metadata when scanning and AI features are used. The connection can occur when the website is connected, when administrators use synchronization or dashboard features, when health checks are performed, and when visitors load pages containing the CookieShift CMP. The CookieShift service may use endpoints including: https://cookieshift.com/cmp.js https://cookieshift.com/banner.js https://cookieshift. com/api/ The exact endpoints may change as the CookieShift service evolves. The plugin does not intentionally include unrelated advertising pixels, referral trackers, or third-party CDNs. ### Support [Documentation](https://cookieshift.com/docs?utm_source=wordpress&utm_medium=plugin&utm_campaign=wordpress_page&utm_content=documentation) [Help Center](https://cookieshift.com/help?utm_source=wordpress&utm_medium=plugin&utm_campaign=wordpress_page&utm_content=help) [Website](https://cookieshift.com/?utm_source=wordpress&utm_medium=plugin&utm_campaign=wordpress_page&utm_content=website) [Terms of Service](https://cookieshift.com/terms-and-conditions?utm_source=wordpress&utm_medium=plugin&utm_campaign=wordpress_page&utm_content=terms) [Privacy Policy](https://cookieshift.com/legal/privacy?utm_source=wordpress&utm_medium=plugin&utm_campaign=wordpress_page&utm_content=privacy) ## Screenshots [⌊CookieShift cookie consent banner displayed on a WordPress website.⌉⌊CookieShift cookie consent banner displayed on a WordPress website.⌉[ CookieShift cookie consent banner displayed on a WordPress website.
