<p>Background/Motivation: Historically analytics and tracking have been used without explict user consent.<br />
Recently there has been a push to change this, both from a technical standpoint and from a legal standpoint.<br />
While analytics are recognized to be useful to website owners, users should be aware that they are being tracked, and have the option to avoid this tracking.</p>
<p>This plugin aims to make it easy and simple to get tracking/analytics consent from users, and respect the users’ stated preferences for the most common tracking scenarios.<br />
The user’s preferences are stored for the duration of their browser session.</p>
<p>This plugin removes known tracking scripts (google, facebook, and crazyegg) from generated markup until a user explicitly opts in to allow their use.<br />
This applies to all markup prior to <code>wp_footer();</code>.  Due to limitations of WordPress hooks we cannot filter content after this.<br />
This plugin attempts to ONLY block markup whose stated purpose is tracking (such as items from the googletagmanager.com domain), and not other items which might potentially do tracking.</p>
<p>This plugin also clears known tracking cookies associated with those known trackers for users who have not opted in to tracking functionality.</p>

Pressidium Cookie Consent


It is very easy to customize and developer friendly.



I was thinking of using the vanilla-cookieconsent library directly but I found that someone had already created a WordPress plugin based on that library which saved me a lot of work.



I noticed one issue and the developers very quickly fixed it after I reported it.


Excellent


I was quite frustrated from other plugins. I was planning create my own plugin with vanilla-cookieconsent. That was my last search before starting with development.



THANK YOU!


just my dreams come true


After checking out CookieYes, Complianz, CookieBot etc etc. I luckily found this plugin!



Lightweight, open source, non invasive, non locking-- what a breath of fresh air.



A big thank you to the devs. This is how plugins should be written. 



I'd happily donate for this plugin.


Great!


Tried so many cookie consent solutions over the years and so glad I have settled on this one now. Looks really nice and full-featured. I like not having to rely on some third-party hosted consent solution. Many thanks for your hard work.


Fantastic

Lightweight, user-friendly and customizable cookie consent banner to help you comply with the EU GDPR cookie law and CCPA regulations.
