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>For more details, refer to:<br />

<p>These disclosures help ensure that users are aware of where data is sent and are informed of data transmission requirements under privacy laws.</p>

<h3>How It Works</h3>

<p>Here’s a high-level overview of the process:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Admin Configuration</strong>: You provide the Website ID via the plugin settings.</li>
<li><strong>Banner Injection</strong>: The plugin injects the CookiePal banner script using the ID you provided.</li>
<li><strong>User Consent</strong>: Users visiting your site can manage their privacy preferences using the banner.</li>

<h4>How it Works</h4>
<p>To get started after install, create new Application (for internal or external scripts, images or stylesheets…) under Klaro Consent Manager / Add New. Enter script name and description, for example name it "Google Analytics" and enter description "Google Analytics is a freemium web analytics service offered by Google". Set purpose to "Analytics" . Publish Application than scroll at the bottom of the newly created App and copy code generated by the plugin. Code should look something like this:</p>
<pre><code><script type="opt-in" data-type="application/javascript" data-name="google-analytics">

// Your Google Analytics Code, all except script tags which we replace with this one…

</script> 
</code></pre>
<p>So in your google analytics code leave your external script as it is and change only internal script, with the code you copied above. You should get something like this:</p>
<pre><code><script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=UA-XXXXXXXX-X”></script>

<script type="opt-in" data-type="application/javascript" data-name="google-analytics">

  window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
  function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
  gtag('js', new Date());
  gtag('config', 'UA-XXXXXXXX-X’);

</script>
</code></pre>
