<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>

</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>

<h3>What WordPress GDPR Cookie Consent Plugin Do?</h3>
<p>WP GDPR Cookie Cookie Consent is a WordPress plugin which will do the followings:</p>
<ul>
<li>A highly customizable consent builder to build your cookie conset banner from backend and you can control where the content banner will show. You can show your consent banner at the top, bottom, left-bottom or right bottom.</li>
<li>You can fully customize the colors, texts, Button color, button texts etc.</li>
<li>You can set how many days the cookie will be saved for accept and for decline.</li>
<li>Users can easily click “Accept” button to provide consent.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Why This Plugin is better than other plugins?</h3>
<p>There has many other plugins who do the same job. The reason, I build this plugin because. Almost all of them failed to build this simple cookie consent in terms of simplicity, performance and page speed effect. For an example, most of the plugins load multiple js and css file for every page load. It does not matter if the user accepted or not. Some plugin send “Ajax Requests” for every page load which is expensive for your server and overall site perfomance.<br />
The aim of this plugin is to do this job correctly. It does not make any sence, why those plugins load their assets once user provide consent because after consent those plugins don’t have anything to do.</p>
<h4>Here what I have improved in this plugin and I can say better than other cookie plugin.</h4>
<ul>
<li>This plugin load only one js file ( 1KB Size ) and no css file will be loaded.</li>
<li>If a user provide a consent then, No JS file will be loaded for that user.</li>
<li>That’s it. This plugin will not make your site slower like other plugins.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Switch Existing Cookie Plugin with WP GDPR Consent Plugin</h3>
<p>I used few different cookie consent plugin for my sites and it’s hard to switch cookie plugin because then all users have to consent again and I see that’s a problem.<br />
I have solved this problem in this plugin. If you use one of the plugins as listed bellow then then this plugin will read cookie added by your existing plugin and will not show consent because those users already gave consent.<br />
If you are using the following plugins for cookie consent then you can just switch with this plugin without any issue for your existing users:</p>
<ul>
<li>GDPR Cookie Consent By WebToffee</li>
<li>Cookie Notice for GDPR By dFactory</li>
<li>GDPR Cookie Compliance By Moove Agency</li>
<li>Cookie Consent By Catapult_Themes</li>
</ul>
