It features a modern, accessible banner powered by vanilla-cookieconsent v3, automatic script blocking, and a built-in cookie scanner. Key features include: * **Customizable Cookie Banner:** Fully responsive UI with light/dark modes and multiple layouts. * **Consent Categories:** Necessary, Preferences, Statistics, Marketing, plus optional custom categories. * **Automatic Script Blocking:** Blocks third-party scripts (GA, Pixel, etc.) and iframes (YouTube, Vimeo, Google Maps) until consent is granted. * **Google Consent Mode v2:** Native support for GCM v2, including integration with Google Site Kit. * **WP Consent API Support:** Fully compatible with the WordPress Consent API. * **Cookie Scanner & Inventory:** Automatically discover cookies used on your site and maintain a categorized inventory.*** Multilingual Support:** Ready for translation and supports Polylang/WPML. * **Multisite Support:** Network-wide default settings with per-site inherit or override. * ** Consent Logging:** Optional local logging of consent events for audit purposes. #### Privacy & Data Collection By default, the plugin does not collect or transmit any personal data to third-party servers. If the “Consent Logging” feature is enabled in settings, the plugin stores anonymized records of consent decisions in your local database. These records include a random UUID, the selected categories, the page URL, and (optional) an anonymized IP hash. This data is used solely for compliance accountability and is not shared with any third parties. ### Credits This plugin bundles vanilla-cookieconsent v3 (MIT). See the plugin source headers and bundled assets for license details. ### External services This plugin **does not** load third-party scripts by itself. It blocks or allows scripts that **your theme or other plugins** add to the page, based on the visitor’s consent. When a visitor grants consent, the following **may** be loaded by your site configuration( not by this plugin directly): **Google Tag Manager / Google Analytics (Google LLC)** Used when your site enqueues gtag or GTM after statistics consent. Data sent: page URL, browser data, and analytics events as configured on your site. Terms: https://policies.google.com/terms Privacy: https://policies.google.com/privacy **Google Fonts (Google LLC)** Used when your theme loads fonts from fonts.googleapis. com after marketing consent. Data sent: IP address and browser user-agent to Google font servers. Terms: https://policies.google.com/terms Privacy: https://policies. google.com/privacy **Facebook Pixel (Meta Platforms, Inc.)** Used when your site loads connect.facebook. net after marketing consent. Data sent: browsing events as configured in your Pixel setup. Terms: https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms Privacy: https://www.facebook. com/privacy/policy **YouTube / Vimeo / Google Maps embeds** Used when marketing consent enables blocked iframes. Data sent: per the embed provider when the iframe loads. YouTube terms: https://www.youtube.com/t/terms — privacy: https://policies.google.com/privacy Vimeo terms: https://vimeo.com/terms — privacy: https://vimeo.com/privacy The built-in cookie scanner fetches your own site URLs via WordPress HTTP API to detect cookies; no off-site scanner service is used. Script blocking patterns in `ScriptRegistry` match known third-party domains; the plugin does not fetch those URLs until consent is granted. ## Screenshots [⌊The customizable cookie consent banner.⌉⌊The customizable cookie consent banner .⌉[ The customizable cookie consent banner.

Go to the ‘Integrations’ tab in the plugin settings and ensure ‘Google Consent Mode v2’ is enabled. The plugin will automatically inject the necessary default consent states. ### Does this plugin block YouTube videos? Yes, the plugin includes an Iframe Processor that automatically replaces YouTube, Vimeo, and Google Maps iframes with a placeholder until the user grants ‘Marketing’ consent. ### Where is the consent log stored? The consent log is stored entirely within your WordPress database in a custom table(` wp_wpeu_consent_log`). No data is sent to external servers. You can manage the retention period in the settings. ### Can I customize banner colors? Yes. Use the Primary Color picker on the Banner settings tab.
