<p>MLX Cookie Consent is a lightweight, developer-friendly cookie consent solution built by Modulux.</p>
<p>It provides the technical tools to control when scripts and embedded content load based on user consent.<br />
When configured and used correctly, it can support compliance efforts for GDPR, ePrivacy, UK GDPR,<br />
and similar regulations.</p>
<p>This plugin does not automatically make your site legally compliant.<br />
You are responsible for correctly classifying scripts, providing accurate information,<br />
and maintaining proper privacy and cookie policy pages.</p>
<p>Project home: modulux.net</p>
<p>MLX Cookie Consent is multilingual-ready and works with WPML or Polylang via String Translation.<br />
All user-facing texts (titles, descriptions, buttons, category labels) can be translated per language.</p>
<h3>External Services</h3>
<p>This plugin does not connect to any external or third-party services by default.</p>
<p>MLX Cookie Consent does not send data to external servers, does not load remote scripts, and does not perform any tracking on its own.</p>
<p>The plugin provides a technical mechanism that allows site administrators to conditionally load third-party scripts (such as analytics, maps, fonts, or captcha services) after obtaining user consent.</p>
<p>Any external services (e.g. Google Analytics, Google Maps, reCAPTCHA) are:<br />
– Added manually by the site administrator<br />
– Loaded only after explicit user consent<br />
– Fully controlled and configured by the site owner</p>
<p>MLX Cookie Consent does not transmit any data to these services itself. Any data transmission is performed directly between the visitor’s browser and the third-party service, according to the configuration and privacy policies of that service.</p>
<h3>Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Script loading blocked until user consent</li>
<li>Category-based consent (necessary, analytics, marketing, etc.)</li>
<li>Preferences modal with granular control</li>
<li>Consent revisioning to re-ask users when policies change</li>
<li>Supports external scripts, inline scripts, iframes, and embeds</li>
<li>Developer hooks for advanced customization</li>
<li>No external dependencies, bundled internal JS engine</li>
</ul>
<h3>Libraries Used</h3>
<p>This plugin bundles the following open-source library:</p>
<p>CookieConsent by Orest Bida<br />
License: MIT</p>
<p>The library is included locally with the plugin and does not perform any network requests or data transmission by itself.</p>
<h3>Usage</h3>
<p>Scripts are output as inactive placeholders and executed only after consent:</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>Examples include:<br />
* Google Analytics<br />
* Google Fonts<br />
* Google Maps<br />
* reCAPTCHA<br />
* Third-party widgets and embeds</p>
<p>Iframes and embedded content should be loaded dynamically after consent using JavaScript.</p>
<h3>Multilingual</h3>
<p>MLX Cookie Consent integrates with WPML and Polylang via String Translation.<br />
Texts stored in plugin options are automatically available for translation.<br />
Script logic remains category-based and shared across languages.</p>
<h3>Advanced (Developers)</h3>
<p>The plugin exposes optional WordPress filters:</p>
<ul>
<li>mlx_cc_options</li>
<li>mlx_cc_categories</li>
<li>mlx_cc_sections</li>
<li>mlx_cc_preferences</li>
</ul>
<p>These filters allow programmatic customization such as language-based logic,<br />
conditional script loading, or dynamic category handling.</p>

<h3>qTranslate X plugin was abandoned years ago, and we don’t actively maintain this migration plugin anymore.</h3>
</blockquote>
<p>This plugin can either cleanup the qTranslate X meta-HTML tags from your site and leave just one ‘clean’ language, or migrate all languages to WPML’s format.</p>
<p><strong>Very important: This plugin will modify the entire content of your database. You must backup your database before attempting to use it.</strong></p>
<p>For complete documentation, please refer to the <a href="https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/qtranslate-importer/?utm_source=plugin&utm_medium=gui&utm_campaign=qtranslate" rel="nofollow ugc">qTranslate uninstall and WPML importer documentation</a>.</p>
<h4>qTranslate X uninstall and cleanup mode</h4>
<p><strong>Must-read: All the issues mentioned in the reviews are solved. We are happy to announce the reintroduction of the clean-up mode with plugin version 2.0</strong></p>
<p>This mode is intended if you just want to keep one language in your site and you want to clean up the language meta-tags that qTranslate added. For this mode, you don’t need WPML.</p>
<p>Instructions:</p>
<ol>
<li>Save all qTranslate X settings</li>
<li>Go to the Plugins admin page and de-activate qTranslate X</li>
<li>Install & activate QT Importer</li>
<li>Go to Options -> QT Importer, select language to keep and click Start. </li>
</ol>
<h4>Migrate all languages from qTranslate X to WPML</h4>
<p>In this mode, the QT import plugin will convert the language information from qTranslate’s language tags format to WPML’s post-per-language format. For this to work, you must have <a href="http://wpml.org" rel="nofollow ugc">WPML</a> active in the site (but not necessarily configured).</p>
<p>Instructions:</p>
<ol>
<li>Save all qTranslate settings</li>
<li>Go to the Plugins admin page and de-activate qTranslate X</li>
<li>Have WPML activated, but not yet configured (just activated)</li>
<li>Install & activate QT Importer</li>
<li>Go to Options -> QT Importer and click Start</li>
<li>Add redirects from old URLs to new URLs</li>
</ol>
<p>The import runs in small batches so it doesn’t have timeout issues with large databases. You can run it on sites of any size.</p>
<p>During the import process, the plugin generates a set of URL redirect rules. These rules tell visitors and search engines that the URLs in your site have changed (from qTranslate’s format to WPML’s format). When the import completes, you’ll be able to export these rules either as rewrite directives for your .htaccess file or as a PHP file to add to the theme.</p>
<p>You can skip the redirect rules, but then, incoming links to internal pages may lead to 404 pages.</p>
<p>The import tool converts posts, meta data and taxonomy. We tried to take every possible scenario in mind, but there’s no alternative to manual testing. Please consider spending time reviewing the final result and possible doing some last touch-ups before relaunching the site with WPML.</p>
