## FAQ

### Does this plugin guarantee GDPR compliance?

No. The plugin helps website owners create and manage important privacy, cookie,
complaint and data request processes, but every business is different and legal 
advice may still be required.

### Does the cookie banner block all scripts automatically?

The free plugin provides a cookie banner and lightweight consent logging. It does
not automatically block scripts loaded by other plugins, themes, Google Tag Manager
or hard-coded header scripts.

### Does it keep records?

Yes. The plugin keeps basic logs of consent choices, complaints, data requests and
opt-out submissions.

### Does it use SMTP?

The plugin uses the WordPress mail system. For better reliability, users may wish
to use an SMTP plugin.

### What are the privacy page display modes?

Theme default is safest for most sites. Plugin Default can help with hard-coded 
themes where normal WordPress content is not shown. Plugin Standalone creates a 
plain standalone GDPR page without the theme header or footer while still loading
WordPress, theme and plugin styles where possible.

### Can I turn off the cookie banner?

Yes. The cookie banner can be turned on or off from the plugin settings.

### Is there a paid version?

A Pro version is planned with advanced tools such as enhanced exports, advanced 
cookie script loading, richer records and priority support.
