<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>
ipapi.co geolocation API (optional, PRO): used only when geo-targeting is enabled and fallback geolocation is needed; sends visitor IP address. Provider: ipapi 
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>
Stripe – payment processing service; loaded by other plugins from js.stripe.com and checkout.stripe.com. Provider: Stripe, Inc. 
Terms of use: https://stripe.com/legal/ssa

<h4>Content blockers</h4>
Content blockers are an optional feature that replaces embedded third-party media (YouTube, Vimeo, Google Maps) with a placeholder until the visitor grants consent. When consent is given, the embed loads normally from the service provider.
<ul>
<li>
YouTube – video embeds can be blocked until consent; loaded from www.youtube.com and www.youtube-nocookie.com. Provider: Google LLC.

CookieBoxs – GDPR/CCPA Cookie Consent & Google Consent Mode v2

Cookie consent plugin for managing visitor consent with Google Consent Mode v2, script blocking, content blockers, and optional integrations.

wpTruss Plugins

Truss Consent Manager is a full consent management plugin for WordPress and WooCommerce. It goes beyond a simple cookie banner to actively detect, categorise, and block tracking scripts until your visitors give consent.
Core Features
<ul>
<li>Three banner layouts — Cookie Bar (full-width), Card (corner), Floating Box (centred)</li>
<li>Simple and granular consent modes — Accept All / Decline, or per-category toggles (Analytics, Marketing, Functional)</li>
<li>Script Scanner — automatically detects tracking scripts on your site by scanning real frontend output. Identifies 14 known trackers including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel, TikTok Pixel, Microsoft Clarity, Hotjar, Matomo, and more.</li>
<li>Script Blocking Engine — prevents detected scripts from loading before consent is given. Rewrites script tags to <code>type="text/plain"</code> and re-activates them after consent.</li>
<li>Google Consent Mode v2 — injects the required <code>gtag consent default</code> call before any Google scripts load, then updates consent signals automatically when visitors accept or decline.</li>
<li>Smart toggle visibility — granular toggles only appear for categories where trackers were actually detected on your site.</li>
<li>Fully customisable — banner colours, button labels, privacy policy link, cookie expiry, card position.</li>
<li>Developer API — <code>wpcm_register_script( $handle, $category )</code> for manual script registration.</li>
</ul>
Google Consent Mode v2 — Signal Mapping
When Google Consent Mode is enabled (default), the plugin injects a denied default state before any Google scripts load and updates the following signals based on visitor consent:
<ul>
<li>Analytics consent → <code>analytics_storage</code></li>
<li>Marketing consent → <code>ad_storage</code>, <code>ad_user_data</code>, <code>ad_personalization</code></li>
<li>Functional consent → <code>functionality_storage</code>, <code>personalization_storage</code></li>
</ul>
This works automatically with Google Analytics 4, Google Ads, and Google Tag Manager.
Privacy-first design
Consent is stored in a first-party browser cookie (<code>wpcm_consent</code>). No consent data is sent to any external server by this plugin. The Script Blocking Engine runs entirely server-side and client-side — no cloud dependency.
<h3>External Services</h3>
This plugin integrates with the following external services when Google Consent Mode v2 is enabled:
Google Consent Mode / Google Tag Manager / Google Analytics 
When Google Consent Mode is enabled (Settings → Advanced → Google Consent Mode v2), this plugin injects JavaScript that communicates with Google’s <code>dataLayer</code> and <code>gtag()</code> API. This sends consent signals to Google when a visitor interacts with the consent banner.
<ul>
<li>What is sent: consent grant/deny signals (no personal data, no IP address, no identifiers)</li>
<li>When it is sent: when a visitor accepts, declines, or saves preferences; and on every page load for return visitors (to re-apply stored consent)</li>
<li>Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy</li>
<li>Google Terms of Service: https://policies.google.com/terms</li>
</ul>
If you disable Google Consent Mode in the plugin settings, no data is sent to Google by this plugin (though your own Google Analytics / GTM setup may still send data independently).
