How WP Cookie Consent Ensures Compliance

For GDPR & ePrivacy

  • Obtain user consent for all cookies except necessary ones.
  • Provide clear explanations for what cookies do and what data they track.
  • Allow users to withdraw consent or refuse non-essential cookies without restricting access.

For CCPA

  • Display a “Do Not Sell My Personal Information” link.
  • Enable users to opt-out of personal data sales via a customizable request form.
  • Categorize and disclose cookies in your CCPA privacy policy with shortcodes.

Why WP Cookie Consent Stands Out

  • Ease of Use: Designed for non-technical users with an intuitive admin panel.
  • SEO & Performance Optimized: Works seamlessly with caching plugins and maintains site speed.
  • Mobile-Friendly & Accessible: Fully responsive and WCAG-compliant.
  • Data Ownership: All user data stays on your website—no third-party storage.

Installation

This section describes how to install the plugin and get it working.

  1. Upload the gdpr-cookie-consent folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
  3. Go to “WP Cookie Consent” to configure the cookie notice bar with your own text, colours and styles

NOTE: Installing this plugin does not alone make your website GDPR compliant. Every website has different cookie needs and needs to be configured accordingly.

FAQ

Will my website become GDPR compliant after installing the plugin?

Cookie consent is just one aspect of GDPR. Installing the plugin does not guarantee compliance. You’ll still need to implement other aspects of the GDPR regulation.

Will I have to add all the cookies manually?

Yes, in the free version. The pro version of the WP Cookie Consent plugin has a one-click scanner, that’ll scan your website. It’ll also pre-populate cookie information for known cookies.

Do visitors now have to accept/reject cookies in order to use websites?

No. Only the ‘necessary’ cookies will be loaded until the user gives consent.

Which all privacy regulations does this plugin help with?

The plugin has been designed to help with the following cookie law, privacy regulations and data protection acts:
– GDPR (EU): The General Data Protection Regulation
– CCPA (California, United States): The California Consumer Privacy Act
– PIPEDA (Canada): The Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act
– AAP (Australia): Australia’s Privacy Principles
– LGPD (Brazil): The Brazilian General Data Protection Law
– DSGVO, DPA, PECR, CNIL and other data, privacy regulations and cookie laws

Does it block 3rd party resources loaded via iFrames (such as Youtube)?

Yes, It has an iFrame Blocker – The user data is not tracked via iFrames unless they give the consent. Users can choose which category of cookies they want to allow.
