Kokku Cookie Banner

This plugin delivers a GDPR cookie consent banner to your WordPress websites.

Brainstorm Force

<p>Most cookie plugins either:</p>
<ul>
<li>Just show a banner</li>
<li>Or make setup feel like preparing for a law exam</li>
</ul>
<p>SureCookie exists because there should be something better.</p>
<p>Something accurate.<br />
Something simple.<br />
Something modern.<br />
Something built properly for WordPress.</p>
<p>SureCookie automatically detects the cookies running on your website, categorizes them intelligently, blocks non-essential scripts before consent, and stores consent logs directly inside your WordPress database.</p>
<p>No traffic limits.<br />
No SaaS visitor caps.<br />
No complicated configuration maze.</p>
<p>Just clean, real enforcement.</p>

<h3>How SureCookie Actually Works</h3>
<p>There are 4 things that matter when it comes to consent:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Detection has to be accurate:</strong> If you do not know what cookies are actually running on your site, everything else falls apart. SureCookie scans with a real browser, not guesswork.</li>
<li><strong>Enforcement has to be technical:</strong> A banner asking for permission means nothing if scripts are already firing. SureCookie blocks non-essential scripts at the code level before consent is given.</li>
<li><strong>Data has to stay under your control:</strong> Consent logs belong on your server. Not locked inside a third-party SaaS dashboard you cannot fully control.</li>
<li><strong>Setup has to be simple:</strong> Compliance should not require a weekend of configuration. SureCookie gets you from install to enforcement in minutes.</li>
</ol>
<p>Everything in SureCookie revolves around that.</p>
<h3>Real Browser Cookie Detection</h3>
<p>This is important.</p>
<p>Most tools try to guess cookies by scanning HTML.</p>
<p>That is not accurate.</p>
<p>SureCookie uses a Playwright-powered scanning engine at <a href="https://library.surecookie.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">https://library.surecookie.com/</a>.</p>
<p>When you run a scan, it loads your website in a real browser environment. Not static source code. An actual browser session.</p>
<p>That means it detects:</p>
<ul>
<li>Cookies injected dynamically</li>
<li>Scripts loaded after interaction</li>
<li>Conditional third-party trackers</li>
<li>Tag manager injected scripts</li>
<li>Things that only appear after page load</li>
</ul>
<p>It visits your website like a real user would.</p>
<p>That is the difference.</p>
<p>Once detected, cookies are categorized intelligently and automatically.</p>
<h3>Smart Categorization</h3>
<p>After detection, SureCookie categorizes cookies into:</p>
<ul>
<li>Essential</li>
<li>Functional</li>
<li>Analytics</li>
<li>Marketing</li>
</ul>
<p>Most cookies are categorized automatically using a continuously improving detection database.</p>
<p>Everything is editable.</p>
<p>The goal is simple:</p>
<p>Nobody should have to manually research every random cookie string just to get compliant.</p>
<h3>Script Blocking Before Consent</h3>
<p>This part is critical.</p>
<p>Showing a banner is not compliance.</p>
<p>Before consent:</p>
<ul>
<li>Analytics does not run</li>
<li>Marketing pixels do not fire</li>
<li>Tag managers do not execute</li>
<li>Embedded videos do not load tracking</li>
<li>Social widgets are paused</li>
</ul>
<p>Consent is enforced at execution level.</p>
<p>Not just visually.</p>
<h3>Consent Logs Stored Locally</h3>
<p>All consent logs are stored inside your WordPress database in a dedicated custom table.</p>
<ul>
<li>View logs from the admin dashboard</li>
<li>Export for compliance documentation</li>
<li>Delete anytime</li>
<li>Control retention periods</li>
</ul>
<p>Compliance data stays on your server. Not in an external SaaS dashboard.</p>
<h3>Performance by Design</h3>
<p>SureCookie is lightweight from the ground up.</p>
<ul>
<li>No jQuery dependency</li>
<li>Minimal frontend footprint</li>
<li>Dedicated database table for logs</li>
<li>No heavy background processing</li>
</ul>
<p>Blocking non-essential scripts before consent also reduces unnecessary third-party requests, which improves page load performance as a side effect.</p>
<h3>Designed in 2026, Not 2019</h3>
<p>Many WordPress plugins are outdated.</p>
<p>Too many toggles.<br />
Too much legal jargon.<br />
Too much friction.</p>
<p>SureCookie is designed to feel modern.</p>
<p>The onboarding is structured:</p>
<ol>
<li>Scan your site</li>
<li>Review detected cookies</li>
<li>Confirm categories</li>
<li>Activate enforcement</li>
</ol>
<p>That is it.</p>
<p>Setup should feel good, not overwhelming.</p>
<h3>No Visitor-Based Limits</h3>
<p>Whether a site has 1,000 visitors or 1,000,000 visitors, SureCookie works the same way.</p>
<p>No caps.<br />
No surprises.<br />
No usage-based pricing tiers.</p>
<h3>Built for the WordPress Ecosystem</h3>
<p>SureCookie works with:</p>
<ul>
<li>SureCart</li>
<li>WooCommerce</li>
<li>Easy Digital Downloads</li>
<li>Page builders</li>
<li>Analytics tools</li>
<li>Marketing integrations</li>
<li>Multisite setups</li>
</ul>
<p>Consent logic applies across your site.</p>
<h3>Who This Is For</h3>
<ul>
<li>Site owners who want real enforcement, not just a banner</li>
<li>eCommerce stores handling customer data</li>
<li>Agencies managing multiple client sites</li>
<li>Developers who care about clean implementation</li>
<li>Businesses operating in regulated regions</li>
</ul>
<p>If the goal is just the simplest possible banner without caring about detection accuracy, SureCookie is probably not the right fit.</p>
<p>If the goal is modern, accurate, performance-conscious consent management, it is.</p>
<h3>Important Note</h3>
<p>SureCookie provides the technical infrastructure for consent management. Legal compliance depends on your policies and jurisdiction. Always consult a qualified legal professional when needed.</p>
<h3>External Services</h3>
<p><strong>Cookie Scanning:</strong> SureCookie connects to <a href="https://library.surecookie.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">https://library.surecookie.com/</a> to provide real browser-based cookie scanning and smart categorization.</p>
<p>When you run a cookie scan, SureCookie sends the URLs of your selected pages to the scanner. A real Playwright-powered browser visits those pages, just like an actual user would, and detects every cookie, tracking script, and third-party service running on your site. Detected cookies are then automatically categorized using a continuously improving detection database.</p>
<p><strong>Consent IP Logs:</strong> For region-aware consent, visitor IP addresses are processed through MaxMind integration to determine country-level location, so the correct Country gets into the consent log.</p>
<p><strong>PDF Export (PDFObject):</strong> SureCookie allows administrators to download consent logs as PDF files. This feature uses the <a href="https://pdfobject.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">PDFObject</a> library, loaded from the cdnjs Cloudflare CDN: <code>https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/pdfobject/2.1.1/pdfobject.min.js</code>. PDFObject is used solely to render the consent log data as a PDF in the browser. No user data is sent to the CDN — the library file itself is fetched and executed locally in the browser. PDFObject is MIT-licensed and GPL-compatible.</p>
<h3>Data Stored Locally</h3>
<p>All consent data is stored inside your WordPress database:</p>
<ul>
<li>User consent choices (categories accepted or rejected)</li>
<li>Timestamps of consent actions</li>
<li>Masked IP address, country and user session ID</li>
<li>Cookie scan results</li>
<li>Plugin configuration settings</li>
</ul>
<h3>Privacy Policy</h3>
<p>SureCookie processes data through its API service at library.surecookie.com to empower cookie scanning and region-aware consent. Here is exactly what happens and why.</p>
<p><strong>What Is Processed and Why:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Cookie Scanning:</strong> When you run a scan, page URLs are sent to the scanning service where a real browser detects cookies and scripts. Detected cookie information (names, domains, durations) is used to categorize cookies and improve detection accuracy across all SureCookie installations.</li>
<li><strong>Region Detection:</strong> Visitor IP addresses are processed through MaxMind to determine country-level location for applying the correct Country into logs. IP addresses are masked before being stored in your database.</li>
<li><strong>Consent Records:</strong> Consent choices, timestamps, and user session ID details are logged locally in your WordPress database for compliance documentation.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Where Data Lives:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>All consent logs, scan results, and settings are stored in your WordPress database</li>
<li>Data sent to library.surecookie.com for scanning and geolocation may be temporarily stored for processing</li>
<li>Nothing is sold, shared with third parties, or used for advertising</li>
</ul>
<p>Since visitor data is processed through SureCookie’s services, this should be mentioned in your site’s privacy policy. Full details: <a href="https://surecookie.com/privacy-policy/" rel="nofollow ugc">https://surecookie.com/privacy-policy/</a></p>
<p><strong>Data Retention and Control:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Consent logs and scan results can be viewed, exported, or deleted anytime from your WordPress admin</li>
<li>Retention periods are configurable in plugin settings</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Security:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>All data transmission uses HTTPS encryption</li>
<li>API communications are secured with authentication tokens</li>
</ul>
