Why EasyConsent?
EasyConsent is built specifically for EU businesses. It is designed to be simple to set up, compliant by default, and affordable for small and medium businesses.
<h3>External Services</h3>
This plugin connects to the EasyConsent service (easyconsent.eu) for two purposes:
1. Account registration and widget creation
When the site administrator enters their email and clicks “Create Free Account & Activate”, the plugin sends a request to the EasyConsent API to create an account and generate a consent widget.
Data sent: administrator email address, site domain (e.g. example.com), and WordPress locale (e.g. “en”). 
This data is sent only once, when the administrator submits the registration form. 
Endpoint: https://easyconsent.eu/api/plugin/register
2. Loading the consent banner script
Once a widget UUID is stored, the plugin loads the consent banner JavaScript from the EasyConsent CDN on every page of the site visited by end users.
Data sent: the request may include the visitor’s IP address (processed according to EasyConsent’s privacy policy) and the page URL via standard HTTP headers. 
This happens on every front-end page load when the plugin is active and a widget UUID is configured. 
Endpoint: https://easyconsent.eu/widget/{uuid}.js
EasyConsent is hosted and operated in the European Union and processes data in compliance with GDPR.
