<p>ConsentPilot is a GDPR consent management plugin for WordPress. Known tracking<br />
scripts and embedded iframes (YouTube, Vimeo, maps) stay blocked in the page<br />
until the visitor agrees to the relevant category, and every consent is<br />
logged in the database as documentation, as required by GDPR art. 7.1.</p>
<p>ConsentPilot is configurable out of the box: choose between three banner<br />
layouts, position, colors and banner text; describe your cookie categories;<br />
add custom blocking patterns for tracking scripts not covered by the built-in<br />
list; and export the consent log as CSV for compliance documentation.</p>
<h4>Features</h4>

<li>Consent banner in three layouts: box, bar or popup</li>
<li>“Accept all”, “Decline all” and per-category choice</li>
<li>Blocks known tracking scripts before consent, Google Analytics, Google<br />

<p><strong>Cookie Rocket</strong> is a lightweight cookie consent plugin that actually <strong>blocks</strong> third-party tracking scripts until your visitors consent — not just a banner on top. Automatic blocking of Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, Hotjar and more, plus <strong>Google Consent Mode v2</strong>, a cookie scanner and a consent log, are all included in the free version. Native compliance for GDPR, LGPD (Brazil) and LFPDPPP (Mexico).</p>
<p>It is a fully <strong>self-hosted alternative to cloud cookie-consent services</strong>: no account, no monthly SaaS fee and no external calls. Real script blocking, Google Consent Mode v2 and on-demand cookie scanning are free here — features that comparable consent tools typically gate behind a paid plan or a remote service.</p>
<ul>
<li>Automatic script blocking: common third-party trackers (Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, Hotjar, Microsoft Clarity, LinkedIn, TikTok and more) are blocked until consent, with Google Consent Mode v2 built in.</li>
<li>Built-in cookie scanner: detect on demand which known tracking services are present on your site and the cookies they set.</li>
<li>Automatic cookie policy / cookie declaration: a single shortcode (or one-click page) publishes a table of every cookie your site uses — provider, purpose and duration — grouped by category and updated from your scans.</li>
<li>Consent audit log with an admin viewer: every consent decision is recorded and browsable for compliance.</li>
<li>Editable cookie categories: rename, re-describe and reorder the categories shown on the banner.</li>
<li>Unified Cookie Banner editor: layout, content (text and labels) and colours, all in one place.</li>
<li>Zero external scripts and zero CDN dependencies — everything is served from your own site.</li>
<li>Native compliance for LFPDPPP (Mexico) and LGPD (Brazil).</li>
<li>GDPR compatible out of the box.</li>
<li>100% local — no consent data is sent to third-party servers.</li>
<li>WooCommerce aware: respects shop pages and checkout.</li>
<li>Fully customizable colors, fonts sizes, copy and banner position.</li>
<li>WCAG 2.1 AA accessible: keyboard navigation, focus states, ARIA labels.</li>
<li>Multisite compatible.</li>
<li>Five banner layouts: bottom bar, top bar, floating card, modal and drawer.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Shortcodes</h4>
<ul>
<li><code>[cookie-rocket-preferences]</code> — renders a button that re-opens the cookie preferences modal.</li>
<li><code>[cookie-rocket-withdraw]</code> — renders a link that withdraws consent and clears stored preferences.</li>
<li><code>[cookie_rocket_policy]</code> — renders the automatic cookie declaration table (provider, purpose and duration per cookie, grouped by category).</li>
</ul>
<h4>Cookie Rocket Pro</h4>
<p>A commercial Pro version with automatic geo-routing, cookie scanner, full audit log, REST API and Google Tag Manager integration is available at <a href="https://templatesrocket.com/cookie-rocket-pro" rel="nofollow ugc">templatesrocket.com</a>. The free version published here is fully functional and does not require the Pro plugin to work.</p>
