## Description
**DevBrothers Counter Manager** lets you add and manage web analytics counters on
your WordPress site without editing theme files. Paste the official counter code
from Yandex.Metrika or Google Analytics, enable or disable each counter, and optionally
show a cookie consent banner before scripts load.
#### Key Features
* **Yandex.Metrika** — paste and manage your Metrika counter code
* **Google Analytics** — paste and manage your gtag.js / GA code
* **Enable / disable** — turn counters on or off without deleting saved code
* **Insert into ``** — active counter code is output in the document head
* **Cookie consent banner** — optional banner; analytics loads only after visitor
accepts (when enabled)
* **Exclude paths** — skip the banner on selected URLs (e.g. dashboard pages)
* **DevBrothers Admin Panel** — settings inside the unified DevBrothers interface
#### Cookie Consent (optional)
When the cookie banner is enabled:
* Analytics scripts are **not** loaded until the visitor clicks Accept
* A consent value is stored in a **first-party cookie** on your domain (`dbcm_cookie_consent`)
* No consent data is sent to third parties — only stored locally in the visitor’s
browser
* You can link to your privacy / cookie policy page
* Light or dark banner theme
When the banner is disabled, counters behave as usual and load immediately.
#### Requirements
* WordPress 5.8+
* PHP 7.4+
* [DevBrothers Admin Panel](https://wordpress.org/plugins/devbrothers-admin-panel/)(
required dependency)
### External services
This plugin integrates with third-party analytics services when you enable counters
and paste their official tracking code.
#### Yandex.Metrika
When enabled, the plugin outputs the Yandex.Metrika counter code you provide. Data
is sent to Yandex servers according to your Metrika configuration.
Typical data sent to Yandex.Metrika includes page views, browser/device information,
and referrer data (see Yandex documentation for details).
* Service provider: Yandex LLC
* Terms: https://yandex.com/legal/metrica_termsofuse/
* Privacy: https://yandex.com/legal/privacy/
#### Google Analytics
When enabled, the plugin outputs the Google Analytics (gtag.js) code you provide.
Data is sent to Google servers according to your Analytics configuration.
Typical data sent to Google Analytics includes page views, browser/device information,
and referrer data (see Google documentation for details).
* Service provider: Google LLC
* Terms: https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/
* Privacy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
#### Local cookie (consent banner)
When the cookie banner is enabled, the plugin stores the visitor’s choice (`accepted`
or `declined`) in a first-party cookie on your site. This data is **not** transmitted
to DevBrothers or any external service.

## FAQ
### Can I use Yandex.Metrika and Google Analytics at the same time?
Yes. You can enable both counters simultaneously.
### Do I need to edit theme files?
No. All settings are managed in **DevBrothers Counter Manager**.
### What happens when I disable a counter?
The code is saved in settings but not output on the front end until you enable it
again.
### How does the cookie banner work?
If enabled, analytics scripts load only after the visitor accepts. Until then, no
Metrika or GA code is printed in ``. The choice is remembered via a local
cookie.
### Can I hide the banner on certain pages?
Yes. Use **Exclude paths** in cookie banner settings (one path per line, e.g. `/
dashboard/`).
### Is it safe to paste counter code in the admin?
Only users with `manage_options` can save settings. The plugin blocks dangerous
HTML tags in counter code while allowing standard `
