</ul>
<h4>How It Works</h4>
<ol>
<li>Install and activate the plugin.</li>
<li>Go to <strong>Cookie Consent > Settings</strong> to configure banner text, categories, and integrations.</li>
<li>Customize the banner appearance under <strong>Cookie Consent > Appearance</strong>.</li>
<li>Define script blocking patterns under <strong>Cookie Consent > Scripts</strong>.</li>
<li>Run the Cookie Scanner to detect cookies on your site.</li>
<li>Monitor consent activity on the <strong>Cookie Consent > Dashboard</strong>.</li>
</ol>
<h4>Shortcode</h4>
<p>Use <code>[nivaj_cookie_preferences]</code> to add a “Cookie Preferences” button anywhere on your site.</p>
<p>Attributes:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>text</code> – Button label (default: “Cookie Preferences”)</li>
<li><code>class</code> – Additional CSS class</li>
</ul>
<p>Example: <code>[nivaj_cookie_preferences text="Manage Cookies" class="my-btn"]</code></p>
<h4>Privacy</h4>
<p>This plugin stores consent preferences in a browser cookie on the visitor’s device. When consent logging is active, IP addresses and user agents are stored as one-way SHA-256 hashes combined with the WordPress salt, making them non-reversible. No personal data is shared with external services by this plugin itself. See the “External services” section below for details on optional Google integrations.</p>
<h3>External services</h3>
<p>This plugin optionally connects to external services when the site administrator explicitly enables them. No external connections are made by default.</p>
<h4>Google Tag Manager</h4>
<p>When the administrator enables Google Tag Manager under Cookie Consent > Settings and provides a GTM container ID, this plugin loads the Google Tag Manager script from Google’s servers.</p>
<p>What it does: Loads a tag management container that can manage analytics, marketing, and other scripts on the site.<br />
When it connects: On every frontend page load, only when GTM is enabled and a valid container ID (GTM-XXXXXXX) is configured.<br />
Data sent: The GTM container ID is sent to Google’s servers to retrieve the container script. No personal visitor data is sent by this plugin directly; however, the loaded GTM container may collect data based on its own configuration.</p>

<li><a href="https://policies.google.com/privacy" rel="nofollow ugc">Google Privacy Policy</a></li>
</ul>
<h4>Google Consent Mode v2</h4>
<p>When the administrator enables Google Consent Mode under Cookie Consent > Settings, this plugin sends consent signals to Google services via the browser’s dataLayer.</p>
<p>What it does: Communicates the visitor’s consent status (granted or denied) for ad storage, analytics storage, and personalization to Google services already running on the site.<br />
When it connects: Consent default signals are set on page load. Consent update signals are sent when a visitor interacts with the cookie banner. This does not load any additional external scripts.<br />
Data sent: Consent status values (granted/denied) for: ad_storage, ad_user_data, ad_personalization, analytics_storage, functionality_storage, personalization_storage, security_storage.</p>

</ul>
<h4>Cookie Scanner (local only)</h4>
<p>The Cookie Scanner feature makes an HTTP request to your own site’s homepage to detect cookies and scripts. It does not connect to any external service.</p>
