## Description
Privacyboard is a privacy compliance workspace: documents, vendor list, privacy
center and a cookie banner that blocks trackers until visitors agree, with Google
Consent Mode v2.
This plugin adds your Privacyboard cookie banner to your WordPress site. Paste the
banner ID from Privacyboard (Cookies Install) in Settings Privacyboard: the banner
script is then printed first in the head of every page, before other scripts, so
it can hold back the trackers it knows until the visitor chooses.
* One setting: your banner ID.
* The banner’s look, texts, languages, regions and blocked services are set in
Privacyboard and apply at once, without updating the plugin.
* A shortcode, `[privacyboard_preferences]`, shows a link that reopens the banner
so visitors can change their mind. With `region="us"`, the link shows only to
visitors from that region, for a “Do Not Sell or Share” link.
* Works with caching and optimisation plugins: the banner script is excluded from
delaying, deferring and combining in WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache, Autoptimize,
SiteGround Optimizer and Cloudflare Rocket Loader, so it still runs first.
You need a Privacyboard account (free plan available) with a published cookie banner.
### External services
This plugin loads the cookie banner from Privacyboard (https://privacyboard.io),
the service where you set up your banner. On every public page, the visitor’s browser
downloads the banner script from `https://privacyboard.io/cmp/.js`.
When the visitor makes a choice, the banner sends Privacyboard a random visitor
identifier, the choice (functional, analytics, marketing) and the banner version,
so you can prove consent; no IP address is stored. The banner may also report the
names of third-party hosts and cookies seen on the page (never their values), so
you can declare the tools your site uses.

## Installation
1. Install and activate the plugin.
2. In Privacyboard, open Cookies Install and copy your banner ID.
3. In WordPress, open Settings Privacyboard, paste the ID and save.
4. Publish your banner in Privacyboard.
If another plugin or your theme also adds a Privacyboard script, remove it so the
banner loads only once.
## FAQ
### Does it work with page caching?
Yes. The script tag is the same for every visitor; the banner itself decides what
to show.
### Does it work with optimisation plugins that delay or combine JavaScript?
Yes. The banner must run before every other script to hold trackers back, so the
plugin excludes it from WP Rocket (delay, defer, minify and combine), Autoptimize,
SiteGround Optimizer, LiteSpeed Cache and Cloudflare Rocket Loader. With another
optimisation tool, exclude `privacyboard.io/cmp/` from its JavaScript delay, defer
and combine settings.
### Where does the banner appear?
On the public pages of your site, not in the WordPress admin.
### How do visitors change their choice?
Add `[privacyboard_preferences]` to your footer or privacy page, or any link with
the `data-pb-open` attribute. Change the text with `label`, for example `[privacyboard_preferences
label="Manage cookies"]`.
### How do I show a “Do Not Sell or Share” link to visitors in the United States only?
Use `[privacyboard_preferences region="us" label="Do Not Sell or Share My Personal
Information"]`. The link stays hidden for other visitors. Regions: europe, us, quebec,
canada, brazil, chile and other; separate several with commas.
