Accept My Cookies

Accept My Cookies displays a user-friendly consent banner, allowing visitors to accept or reject tracking cookies and it supports Google Consent Mode.

Felix A. Schultz

<p><a href="https://www.intastellarsolutions.com/solutions/cookie-consents" rel="nofollow ugc">Intastellar Consents</a> allows you to display a compliant cookie consent banner on your WordPress website and block non-essential scripts until consent is given.</p>
<p>Unlike heavy consent management platforms, Intastellar Consents focuses on:</p>
<ul>
<li>Fast implementation</li>
<li>Clear consent choices</li>
<li>Minimal performance impact</li>
<li>No tracking of users by default</li>
</ul>
<p>The plugin integrates seamlessly by loading the Intastellar Consents script and handling consent logic centrally, ensuring consistent behavior across pages.</p>
<h3>Google Consent Mode</h3>
<p>Intastellar Consents supports Google Consent Mode, allowing Google Analytics and Google Ads<br />
to adapt their behavior based on user consent while preventing tracking cookies before consent.</p>
<p>Consent signals are updated dynamically when users change their preferences.</p>
<h3>Key Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>GDPR & ePrivacy compliant consent banner</li>
<li>Google Consent Mode support (advanced setups included)</li>
<li>CCPA / CPRA support with “Do Not Sell My Personal Information” option</li>
<li>Blocks marketing and analytics scripts until consent is granted</li>
<li>Lightweight, minimal performance impact</li>
<li>Customizable look and feel to match your brand</li>
<li>Multi-language support based on site language</li>
<li>Easy plugin install or single-script integration</li>
<li>Hosted securely in the EU</li>
<li>Compatible with Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, Microsoft UET/Clarity, HubSpot, and others</li>
</ul>
<h3>Supported WordPress Languages</h3>
<p>The full plugin admin (Settings, Branding, Intro, Privacy, Help, and the “Ask for review” prompt) is translated into the following languages. Set your site or admin language in <strong>Settings <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> General</strong> (or your user profile language for the admin) to use them.</p>
<ul>
<li>English (default)</li>
<li>Danish (Dansk)</li>
<li>German (Deutsch)</li>
<li>French (Français)</li>
<li>Spanish (Español)</li>
<li>Italian (Italiano)</li>
<li>Dutch (Nederlands)</li>
<li>Polish (Polski)</li>
<li>Portuguese – Portugal (Português)</li>
</ul>
<h3>Translations</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Plugin admin:</strong> The list above is built into the plugin; no extra setup is needed. Just set your WordPress or user language and the admin will appear in that language.</li>
<li><strong>This page (WordPress.org):</strong> To have the plugin description and this readme shown in more languages on the WordPress.org plugin page, translators can contribute at <strong>translate.wordpress.org</strong> <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> project <strong>wp-plugins/intastellar-gdpr-cookie-banner</strong>. Approved translations there are used for the plugin’s landing page and for automatic language-pack updates.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Who Is This Plugin For?</h3>
<ul>
<li>Small business websites</li>
<li>Freelancers and agencies building WordPress sites</li>
<li>Developers who want a clean consent solution</li>
<li>Website owners who don’t want enterprise-level CMP complexity</li>
<li>Anyone tired of bloated cookie plugins</li>
<li>Agencies managing multiple client sites that need a consistent consent solution</li>
<li>WordPress developers looking for a lightweight and easy-to-use consent solution</li>
</ul>
<h3>How It Works</h3>
<p>Intastellar Consents loads a secure script that:<br />
1. Detects visitors’ region and initializes consent defaults (GDPR, CCPA, etc.)<br />
2. Prevents non-essential scripts from firing until consent is given<br />
3. Applies Google Consent Mode signals based on user consent<br />
4. Ensures personalized banner presentation via multi-language detection<br />
5. Fires permitted scripts only after valid consent<br />
This approach helps you balance privacy compliance with data insights, especially for analytics and ads platforms.</p>
<h3>GDPR & Privacy Compliance</h3>
<p>Intastellar Consents is built with GDPR principles in mind:</p>
<ul>
<li>Consent before non-essential cookies</li>
<li>Clear and explicit user choice</li>
<li>No pre-checked consent</li>
<li>No user profiling by the plugin itself</li>
<li>Consent handling aligned with GDPR and ePrivacy Directive</li>
</ul>
<p>Intastellar Consents does not claim to provide full legal compliance on its own.</p>
<h3>Privacy & Data Handling</h3>
<p>The plugin itself does not store personal data on the WordPress site.<br />
Consent logic is handled via Intastellar Consents’ infrastructure.</p>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> Website owners remain responsible for ensuring their overall site configuration, cookie usage, and privacy policy are GDPR-compliant.</p>
<h3>External Resources</h3>
<p>The plugin loads the following external resources which are required for the consent banner to function:<br />
JavaScript from:<br />
https://consents.cdn.intastellarsolutions.com<br />
CSS styling from:<br />
https://downloads.intastellarsolutions.com<br />
The banner and consent management logic run from these hosted resources.<br />
Without these external files, the plugin will not display or function properly.<br />
No personal data or WordPress user information is sent to these domains simply by loading the script.</p>
<p>No tracking, analytics, or marketing cookies are set by these resources before user consent is given.</p>
<p>Why are external resources required?<br />
The consent system is centrally maintained so updates to compliance rules, UI, and consent logic can be rolled out without requiring site owners to manually update the plugin.</p>
