### Source Code

The PHP source code of this plugin is fully readable in the distributed plugin files.

The administration interface is built as a modern React/TypeScript single-page application
and compiled into a single JavaScript bundle (`public/js/admin-view.js`). The bundle
is shipped in a readable, unobfuscated format, allowing developers to review its
implementation directly from the plugin package.

### External Services

This plugin does not require or connect to any third-party external service.

All plugin settings, cookie categories, consent preferences, and consent logs are
stored locally in your WordPress database.

The optional Geo Targeting feature uses the MaxMind GeoIP2 database only when configured
by the site administrator. No visitor consent data is transmitted to external services
by the plugin itself.

## FAQ

### Which WordPress versions are supported?

The plugin supports WordPress 6.x and WordPress 7.x. Older versions (WordPress 4
and 5) were supported in earlier releases of the plugin but are no longer actively
maintained.

### Is this plugin GDPR compliant?

The plugin provides the tools you need to comply with GDPR cookie consent requirements:
cookie blocking, granular category consent, consent logging, and more. However, 
GDPR compliance depends on how you configure the plugin and your overall data processing
practices. Consult a legal professional for advice specific to your situation.

### Can I use this on multiple sites?

License terms vary by plan. Check your license details in your web357.com account
to see how many sites your license covers.

### Does it work with multilingual sites?

Yes. The plugin automatically detects all content languages installed on your WordPress
site. You can customize every user-facing text string separately for each language
in the Texts for Languages section.

### Does it work with page caching?

Yes. The notification bar is rendered via JavaScript on the client side, so it works
correctly with WordPress’s built-in page cache and third-party caching plugins.
