<h3>Privacy Policy</h3>
CookieBoxs does not send visitor consent records to the plugin author’s servers.
Consent records are stored in the WordPress database. Optional third-party integrations that you configure, such as analytics, advertising, chat, or embedded media services, connect directly from the visitor’s browser to those third-party providers after the relevant consent conditions are met.
Admin-only connections used for plugin news, optional deactivation feedback, or optional license validation are described below.
<h3>External Services</h3>
This plugin uses external services only for user-configured integrations. Third-party integrations are optional, disabled by default, and only activated when the site administrator enables and configures them. The plugin does not offload any of its own assets (JavaScript, CSS, images) to external servers — all plugin files are included locally.
<h4>Plugin services</h4>
<ul>
<li>
VisionSolutions API – plugin news and updates: used in the admin area only; sends plugin version, WordPress version, and site language when an administrator opens the settings page. Provider: VisionSolutions, https://visionsolutions.pl 
Terms of use: https://visionsolutions.pl/regulamin/ 
Privacy policy: https://visionsolutions.pl/polityka-prywatnosci/
</li>
<li>
VisionSolutions API – deactivation feedback (optional): sends selected reason, optional comment, site URL, WordPress version, and PHP version only if an administrator submits feedback during deactivation. Provider: VisionSolutions 
Terms of use: https://visionsolutions.pl/regulamin/ 
Privacy policy: https://visionsolutions.pl/polityka-prywatnosci/
</li>
<li>
VisionSolutions API – PRO license validation (optional): sends license key, site domain, and plugin version on activation and periodic validation. Provider: VisionSolutions 
Terms of use: https://visionsolutions.pl/regulamin/ 
Privacy policy: https://visionsolutions.pl/polityka-prywatnosci/
</li>
<li>

Terms of use: https://ipapi.co/terms/ 
Privacy policy: https://ipapi.co/privacy/
</li>
<li>
Cookie Scanner (admin-initiated, PRO): two-phase scan. Phase 1 (server): sends requests from your server to your own website pages to detect cookies and tracking scripts from HTML. Phase 2 (browser): loads the scanned page in a hidden iframe within the administrator’s browser to detect cookies set by JavaScript (e.g. pixels loaded via Google Tag Manager). All scanning happens locally — no external provider is contacted.
</li>
</ul>
<h4>Optional integrations (services)</h4>
These are third-party services that the site administrator can optionally enable. When enabled, the plugin loads the official embed snippet provided by each service, which connects the visitor’s browser directly to that service provider. These are service integrations, not offloaded plugin assets. Each integration is disabled by default and only activates when the administrator provides their account ID.

<h4>Script blocker safe domains</h4>
The automatic script blocker does not block scripts from essential service domains (payment gateways, CAPTCHAs, translation). These domains are whitelisted so the script blocker does not interfere with site-critical functionality provided by other plugins or themes. The CookieBoxs plugin itself does not load any files from these domains — they are only whitelisted to prevent breakage:
<ul>
<li>
