CookiePal

<p>Welcome to <strong>CookiePal</strong>, a WordPress plugin designed to easily add the CookiePal cookie consent banner to your website. This plugin allows administrators to input their CookiePal Website ID, enabling users to manage their consent preferences and comply with privacy regulations seamlessly.</p>
<p><em>This plugin requires a CookiePal account and an active Website ID, which you can obtain from your CookiePal dashboard. Ensure your account is configured for proper functionality.</em></p>
<p>Starting from version 1.1, this plugin requires the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-consent-api/" rel="ugc">WP Consent API</a> plugin to be installed and active. It uses the WP Consent API to register and manage user consent in a standardized way across your WordPress site.</p>
<h3>Use of External Service</h3>
<p>This plugin relies on <a href="https://app.cookiepal.io/" rel="nofollow ugc">CookiePal</a>, an external service for managing cookie consent banners. For the plugin to function, users must enter their CookiePal Website ID, which allows the consent banner to load dynamically. When using CookiePal Banner, user consent information may be sent to CookiePal’s service to manage preferences.</p>

<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>
