<p>Oven integrates the <a href="https://github.com/orestbida/cookieconsent" rel="nofollow ugc">CookieConsent</a> JavaScript library (v3.1.0) into WordPress to provide a compliant, accessible cookie consent experience.</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Cookie consent banner</strong> – Shows a consent modal to visitors on first visit with Accept all, Essential only, and Manage preferences.</li>
<li><strong>Automatic cookie detection</strong> – Enable “Cookie detection mode” in settings, then browse your site while logged in as an administrator. Cookies set during your visit are detected and added to the list.</li>
<li><strong>Essential vs non-essential</strong> – WordPress core cookies (login, session, comments, settings) are classified as essential; third-party and analytics cookies as non-essential. Visitors see both categories in the preferences modal.</li>
<li><strong>Revision and re-consent</strong> – When a new cookie is detected and added, the revision number is incremented. All visitors (including those who had previously accepted) must consent again.</li>
<li><strong>Logged-in vs guest</strong> – For guests, consent is stored in a cookie so they are not prompted on every visit (until the revision changes). For logged-in users, consent is stored in the database (user meta) tied to their account.</li>
<li><strong>Consent logging</strong> – For logged-in users, each consent choice is recorded in their profile. Admins and editors can view when a user accepted and which cookies they accepted (Users <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> edit user <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Cookie consent).</li>
<li><strong>Cookie descriptions</strong> – You can edit a short description for each cookie so visitors know what it does. Descriptions are shown in the preferences modal.</li>
<li><strong>Privacy policy link</strong> – Optional privacy policy URL in settings is shown in the consent modal (recommended for GDPR).</li>
<li><strong>Accessibility</strong> – Uses the CookieConsent library’s built-in ARIA attributes and keyboard support.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Settings</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Settings <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Oven</strong> – Enable cookie consent, enable cookie detection mode, set an optional privacy policy URL (recommended for GDPR), and view or edit the list of detected cookies and their descriptions.</li>
</ul>
<h4>GDPR and compliance</h4>
<p>Oven is designed to support compliance with the GDPR and similar laws:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Consent before non-essential cookies</strong> – Non-essential cookies and scripts that set them are blocked until the user accepts. Essential cookies (e.g. login, session) are allowed without consent.</li>
<li><strong>Clear information</strong> – Visitors see a list of cookies with names and descriptions (editable in settings). You can link to your privacy policy from the consent modal.</li>
<li><strong>Granular choice</strong> – Users can accept all, essential only, or manage preferences and toggle individual non-essential cookies.</li>
<li><strong>Withdraw consent</strong> – Users can reopen the preferences modal and change or withdraw consent at any time. Rejected non-essential cookies are cleared on each visit.</li>
<li><strong>Re-consent when policy changes</strong> – When you add or reclassify cookies, the revision number increases and all visitors are asked to consent again.</li>
<li><strong>Consent logging (logged-in users)</strong> – For registered users, consent choices and timestamps are stored in their profile. Admins and editors can view consent history under Users <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> [user] <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Cookie consent. Guest consent is not logged (stored only in a cookie).</li>
<li><strong>Transparency</strong> – Cookie detection mode helps you build an accurate cookie list; you can add cookies manually and describe what each one does.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Requirements</h4>
<ul>
<li>PHP 7.4 or higher</li>
<li>WordPress 5.9 or higher</li>
</ul>
