AdSimple

The AdSimple Cookie Consent Banner lets you add a fully GDPR-compliant cookie consent banner to your WordPress website — with or without an AdSimple account.
<h4>Two ways to get started</h4>
Local Setup (no account required): Configure your cookie banner entirely within WordPress using a visual wizard. Choose from 16 color themes, 6 banner positions, 3 layouts, and customize every detail — all without leaving your dashboard.
Connect with AdSimple: Link your website to your <a href="https://www.adsimple.at/" rel="nofollow ugc">AdSimple</a> account for additional features like automatic legal text updates, remote cookie scanning, and centralized management of multiple websites.
<h4>Visual Configuration Wizard</h4>
The built-in wizard guides you through the setup in six steps:
<ol>
<li>🎨 Design — Pick a position (popup, bottom bar, top bar, corners), layout (classic, block, wireframe), color theme, and fine-tune with custom colors, shadow effects, and a settings button.</li>
<li>✏️ Texts — Customize the banner title, consent message, button labels, and link your privacy policy and legal notice pages.</li>
<li>🍪 Cookies — Manage cookie categories (required, statistics, marketing, preferences, and more). Run a browser-based quick scan to detect cookies on your site.</li>
<li>⚙️ Settings — Set consent validity (1–365 days) and define visibility rules to exclude specific paths from showing the banner.</li>
<li>🚀 Features — Enable Google Consent Mode v2 and Global Privacy Control (GPC) support.</li>
<li>✅ Review — See a summary of your configuration and publish the banner.</li>
</ol>
<h4>Key Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>🆓 Works without an account — Full local banner setup with no external dependencies.</li>
<li>🎨 16 color themes — Pre-built themes plus full custom color control (18 color fields).</li>
<li>📐 6 banner positions — Popup (center), bottom bar, bottom-left, bottom-right, top bar, top fixed.</li>
<li>🧱 3 layouts — Classic, Block, Wireframe.</li>
<li>🔒 Script blocking — Third-party scripts are automatically blocked until the visitor gives consent.</li>
<li>🔍 Browser-based cookie scan — Detect cookies directly from the admin dashboard, no remote service needed.</li>
<li>📊 Google Consent Mode v2 — Built-in support with configurable default consent states.</li>
<li>🛡️ Global Privacy Control (GPC) — Respect the W3C GPC opt-out signal (<code>navigator.globalPrivacyControl</code>). Non-essential cookies are auto-rejected when the visitor’s browser signals GPC, and the banner is skipped while the settings badge stays accessible.</li>
<li>🍪 Cookie categories — 6 categories (required, statistics, statistics-anonymous, marketing, unclassified, preferences) with per-category activation, locking, and visibility controls.</li>
<li>🚫 Visibility rules — Exclude specific paths (e.g. /checkout, /my-account/*) from showing the banner.</li>
<li>⚙️ Settings button — Configurable floating button so visitors can change their preferences at any time.</li>
<li>👁️ Live preview — See your banner changes in real time while configuring.</li>
</ul>

Great tool

First of all, the plugin works.

BUT...

Coding standards? Not existing.

Security? Who cares, we just save directly from $_POST without any sanitization.

Writing a 5* review for your own plugin? Yeah, absolutely what everyone should do... at least they don't hide it.

Extremely poorly written code

The consentmanager Cookie Banner and Cookie Notice allows you to easily collect cookie consent from your website visitors, ensuring GDPR compliance.
