<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>

DAEXT

<p>This is the free version of <a href="https://daext.com/lightweight-cookie-notice/" rel="nofollow ugc">Lightweight Cookie Notice</a>, the lightweight and customizable cookie plugin for WordPress.</p>
<h3>A high-performance Cookie Plugin</h3>
<p>This plugin generates the cookie notice with a single 9kb file (gzipped) written in pure JavaScript.</p>
<p>We recommend this plugin for high-performance websites or websites with a high number of visits.</p>
<h3>83 Style Options</h3>
<p>With the style options available in the plugin settings, you can customize the typography, the colors of all the elements, or even control details like borders, drop shadows, opacities, and more.</p>
<p>With all these options, you can create a cookie notice consistent with the style of your website.</p>
<h3>Works with all the caching plugins</h3>
<p>This plugin verifies the cookie acceptance with JavaScript. For this reason, all the caching plugins (E.g. WP Super Cache, W3 Total Cache, LiteSpeed Cache, WP Fastest Cache) are supported.</p>
<h3>Geolocation</h3>
<p>Display the cookie notice only to the users located in a custom-defined list of countries with the geolocation feature included in the plugin.</p>
<p>The plugin currently integrates two alternative geolocation services. The instructions to set up these services are available in the <a href="https://daext.com/doc/lightweight-cookie-notice/#geolocation" rel="nofollow ugc">geolocation section</a> of the plugin manual.</p>
<h4>MaxMind GeoLite2</h4>
<p>To enable the <a href="https://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/geoip2/geolite2/" rel="nofollow ugc">MaxMind GeoLite2</a> geolocation service, create a <a href="https://www.maxmind.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">MaxMind</a> account, download the provided databases, and configure the paths to these files in the plugin settings.</p>
<h4>HostIP.info</h4>
<p>In this case, the IP geolocation data are retrieved with HTTP requests to the <a href="https://hostip.info/" rel="nofollow ugc">HostIP.info</a> website. This geolocation service doesn’t require the creation of an account.</p>
<h3>Additional Features of This Cookie Plugin</h3>
<h4>Place the Cookie Notice in Multiple Positions</h4>
<p>A selector available in the plugin options allows you to generate a cookie notice in the following position:</p>
<ul>
<li>Top of the screen</li>
<li>In the middle of the screen</li>
<li>Bottom of the screen</li>
</ul>
<h4>Shake Effect</h4>
<p>Bring attention to the cookie notice with an optional shake effect applied to the cookie notice. The shake effect is activated when the user clicks outside the cookie notice.</p>
<h4>Mask</h4>
<p>This cookie plugin optionally generates a transparent mask over the content of the page. This mask makes the website unusable for the users that don’t give their consent.</p>
<h4>Responsive</h4>
<p>The cookie notice generated by the plugin is fully responsive. We have also included the <strong>Responsive Breakpoint</strong> option to define when to switch from the desktop layout to the mobile layout and vice versa.</p>
<h4>Additional information with a modal window</h4>
<p>The plugin comes with an optional modal window that you can use to display the cookies policy, the privacy policy, or other custom information without redirecting the user to a specific page.</p>
<p>You can enter custom HTML in this modal window and easily include information like lists of cookies, lists of vendors, links to documents, and more.</p>
<h4>Test Mode</h4>
<p>Enable the <strong>Test Mode</strong> to display the cookie notice only to the website administrator. This feature allows you to set up the cookie notice content, colors, and behavior without causing temporary issues to a production website.</p>
<h4>Custom Cookie Expiration</h4>

<h4>Reload Page</h4>
<p>This option allows you to optionally reload the page when the user accept the cookies.</p>
