Cookie Consent for WP – Cookie Consent, Consent Log, Cookie Scanner, Script Blocker (for GDPR, CCPA & ePrivacy)

Descripción

The only WordPress plugin that helps you comply with the EU GDPR’s cookie consent and CCPA’s “Do Not Sell” Opt-Out regulations.

  • Get visitor consent for cookies using a fully customizable cookie consent bar on your website. Helps you comply with EU GDPR.
  • Display a fully customizable notice with a ‘Do Not Sell’ link on your website. Helps you comply with CCPA.
  • Supports WPML so your translation needs are covered.

This plugin is the closest that I have found to complying with all of the new regulation guidance and is the easiest to implement.

How can this plugin help you comply with GDPR?

The cookies and ePrivacy Directive was passed in 2002 and amended in 2009 by the EU. According to the directive –

Cookies when used to identify users, qualify as personal data and are therefore subject to the GDPR. Companies do have a right to process their users’ data as long as they receive consent.

Further the to comply with the regulations governing cookies and the ePrivacy directive you must –

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.

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