## Description
GL Consent is a lightweight consent-management plugin for WordPress. It provides
a compact consent banner, a preferences drawer, and built-in integrations for common
analytics and advertising services.
Site administrators configure supported services using provider-specific IDs instead
of pasting arbitrary JavaScript. An enabled integration is loaded only after the
visitor grants consent for its matching category.
Supported Analytics integrations:
* Google Analytics 4
* Microsoft Clarity
* Yandex Metrica
* Hotjar
Supported Marketing integrations:
* Google Ads
* Meta Pixel
* TikTok Pixel
* Microsoft Advertising UET
* LinkedIn Insight Tag
* Pinterest Tag
Features include:
* Compact first-visit consent banner.
* Accept All, Reject All, and custom consent choices.
* Analytics and Marketing consent categories.
* Built-in provider integrations with structured ID-based configuration.
* No custom JavaScript editor and no arbitrary script execution field.
* Consent preference storage in browser localStorage with a first-party cookie
fallback.
* 365-day consent lifetime before the visitor is asked again.
* Consent withdrawal handling with page reload when a previously granted optional
category is disabled.
* Floating Preferences Button that can be enabled or disabled.
* Left or right Preferences Button positioning.
* Small or standard Preferences Button size.
* Cookie Settings Link trigger using `#gl-consent-settings`, so consent preferences
can be reopened from a menu, footer, button, or text link.
* Automatic link to the WordPress Privacy Policy page when one is configured.
* Frontend `glconsent:changed` event for developers and integrations.
* Local plugin assets and locally bundled fonts for the GL Consent admin interface.
GL Consent itself does not send visitor consent state to Gabbasov Labs and does
not require a Gabbasov Labs account or cloud service.
GL Consent has a deliberately defined scope. It controls only integrations configured
and enabled inside GL Consent. Tracking or third-party services loaded independently
by themes, other plugins, tag managers, or custom code are not automatically detected
or blocked.
GL Consent is a technical consent-control tool. It does not provide legal advice
and does not guarantee compliance with any particular privacy law or regulatory
framework. Site owners are responsible for evaluating their own legal and regulatory
requirements and for configuring the plugin appropriately.
### External Services
GL Consent can load third-party analytics and marketing services when all of the
following are true:
1. The site administrator configures the service in GL Consent.
2. The integration is enabled in GL Consent.
3. The visitor grants consent for the matching Analytics or Marketing category.
GL Consent does not contact these services merely because the plugin is installed
or activated. Each integration below is optional. The listed services are independent
third parties and may collect or process visitor data according to their own terms
and privacy policies after the relevant integration is loaded.

through WordPress.
2. Activate GL Consent.
3. Open **GL Consent** in the WordPress admin area.
4. Review the consent texts and general settings.
5. Open the **Integrations** tab and configure any supported analytics or marketing
services you want GL Consent to control.

## FAQ
### Does GL Consent automatically detect or block trackers already installed on my site?
No. GL Consent controls only supported integrations that are configured and enabled
inside the plugin. Scripts or trackers loaded independently by themes, other plugins,
tag managers, or custom code are outside its automatic control.
### Does GL Consent allow me to paste arbitrary tracking scripts?
No. GL Consent uses predefined provider integrations with structured configuration
fields such as Measurement ID, Project ID, Pixel ID, Partner ID, or Tag ID. It does
not provide a custom JavaScript execution field.
### When does an analytics or marketing integration load?
A supported integration must first be configured and enabled by the site administrator.
On the frontend, it is loaded only after the visitor grants consent for the matching
Analytics or Marketing category.
### What happens when a visitor withdraws consent?
GL Consent saves the new choice and reloads the page when a previously granted optional
category is switched off. On the reloaded page, GL Consent does not initialize integrations
belonging to the withdrawn category.
Some third-party services may send a final unload or beacon request from the already
loaded page while it is closing. GL Consent prevents those integrations from being
initialized again on the reloaded page unless consent is granted again.
### Where is the consent choice stored?
The consent state is stored in browser localStorage with a first-party cookie fallback.
The stored state expires after 365 days.
### How can visitors reopen their consent preferences?
GL Consent provides two access methods for the same preferences drawer:
* The floating Preferences Button, which can be enabled or disabled and positioned
on the left or right side of the screen.
* A Cookie Settings Link using `#gl-consent-settings`, which can be placed in a
menu, footer, button, or text link.
### Can I use the Cookie Settings Link without the floating Preferences Button?
Yes. You can disable the floating Preferences Button and continue to use `#gl-consent-
settings` anywhere on the site to reopen the consent preferences drawer.
### Does GL Consent send consent data to Gabbasov Labs?
No. GL Consent itself does not transmit the visitor’s consent state to Gabbasov
Labs.
### Does GL Consent require an external GL Consent account or API key?
No. GL Consent does not require a Gabbasov Labs account, subscription, license server,
or cloud API to operate.
### Is GL Consent a legal compliance service?
No. GL Consent is a technical tool for consent-based loading of supported integrations.
Site owners remain responsible for assessing their own legal and regulatory requirements.
