</ul>
<p><strong>How it works:</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Install and activate the plugin</li>
<li>Enter your email — your account and widget are created automatically</li>
<li>The consent banner appears immediately on your site</li>
<li>Manage your widget and view consent statistics from the EasyConsent dashboard</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Why EasyConsent?</strong></p>
<p>EasyConsent is built specifically for EU businesses. It is designed to be simple to set up, compliant by default, and affordable for small and medium businesses.</p>
<h3>External Services</h3>
<p>This plugin connects to the EasyConsent service (easyconsent.eu) for two purposes:</p>
<p><strong>1. Account registration and widget creation</strong></p>
<p>When the site administrator enters their email and clicks “Create Free Account & Activate”, the plugin sends a request to the EasyConsent API to create an account and generate a consent widget.</p>
<p>Data sent: administrator email address, site domain (e.g. example.com), and WordPress locale (e.g. “en”).<br />
This data is sent only once, when the administrator submits the registration form.<br />
Endpoint: https://easyconsent.eu/api/plugin/register</p>
<p><strong>2. Loading the consent banner script</strong></p>
<p>Once a widget UUID is stored, the plugin loads the consent banner JavaScript from the EasyConsent CDN on every page of the site visited by end users.</p>
<p>Data sent: the request may include the visitor’s IP address (processed according to EasyConsent’s privacy policy) and the page URL via standard HTTP headers.<br />
This happens on every front-end page load when the plugin is active and a widget UUID is configured.<br />
Endpoint: https://easyconsent.eu/widget/{uuid}.js</p>
<p>EasyConsent is hosted and operated in the European Union and processes data in compliance with GDPR.</p>
