Description
CookiesRegTech shows an accessible cookie consent banner on the website, blocks known trackers until the visitor agrees, signals Google Consent Mode before analytics run, and keeps a consent log that can be exported as proof.
This plugin connects the WordPress site to a CookiesRegTech account and installs the consent script in the correct position (before analytics and tag managers) automatically — the step most manual installations get wrong.
Free plan included. A free account gives a working banner, consent logging, manual cookie scans, layout and color customisation, and 5,000 recorded pageviews per month. Paid plans add scheduled full-site scans, geo-targeted banners, custom CSS, and higher limits — upgrades happen in the CookiesRegTech dashboard, never inside this plugin.
Features
- One-click connect: enter an email on the settings page — a free account is created and the banner goes live, no copy-pasting required
- Opt-in (GDPR-style) and opt-out (US-style) consent templates, with geo-targeting on paid plans
- Automatic blocking of known advertising and analytics trackers until consent
- Google Consent Mode v2 signals set before Google tags execute
- Cookie scanner that discovers and categorises the cookies the site sets, with the detected list shown right on the settings page
- Signed-in jumps from WordPress admin straight into the consent dashboard
- Consent log with export, as required for GDPR accountability
- Accessible by design: WCAG 2.2 AA contrast, keyboard support, 44px targets

Installation
- Install and activate this plugin, then go to Settings CookiesRegTech.
- Enter an account email, accept the terms, and click “Connect website”.
- New email: a free account is created instantly and the banner is live. Existing account: click the confirmation link that arrives by email, then press “Check status”.
- Use “Open dashboard” on the settings page to customise the banner, run cookie scans, and view the consent log.
Advanced: a site can also be connected manually by pasting a Domain ID from the dashboard (Settings CookiesRegTech “Advanced: connect manually”).
FAQ
-
Yes — a free account, created directly from the settings page. The banner configuration, cookie scanning, and consent log live in the dashboard at www.cookiesregtech.com.
-
Does the plugin slow the site down?
-
No. It adds a single ~1KB loader script that never blocks page rendering; the banner itself loads asynchronously.
-
The analytics code is pasted directly into the theme’s header.php — is it still blocked?
-
Scripts hard-coded into the theme before the wp_head() call run before any plugin can act. Load analytics through a plugin (or Tag Manager) instead, or move the hard-coded tag below wp_head(); Google tags are additionally governed by Consent Mode either way.
-
In the CookiesRegTech dashboard — changes publish to the site instantly, no plugin update needed.
-
What data does the plugin send?
-
On connect: the account email and the site hostname, to create/link the account. Afterwards the settings page reads the connection status and detected cookie list from the CookiesRegTech API. Visitor consent choices are recorded by the banner script per the CookiesRegTech privacy policy (https://www.cookiesregtech.com/privacy-policy).
