<p>Plain Cookie Consent is a no-frills GDPR + ePrivacy consent banner for WordPress. It ships a single banner, Google Consent Mode v2 defaults, a server-side audit log with pseudonymised subject hashing, a DSAR lookup helper, and constant-gated Meta Pixel / Microsoft Clarity / LinkedIn Insight Tag helpers — all under GPL v2, with no upsells and no external telemetry.</p>
<p>The plugin is designed to support a GDPR/ePrivacy-compliant consent setup. Final compliance depends on the site owner’s configuration and linked privacy policy.</p>
<h4>Core compliance features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Google Consent Mode v2 defaults injected at <code>wp_head</code> priority 1, before any tag manager or gtag snippet.</li>
<li>Early inline consent replay with a revision gate — consent recorded before a policy revision bump is not replayed; the banner re-prompts instead.</li>
<li>Server-side audit log (<code>wp_plain_consent_log</code>) with a privacy-preserving SHA-256 subject hash over a daily-rotating salt, and a 730-day default retention purge (filterable via constant).</li>
<li>Consent revision system with a “Force re-consent for all users now” admin action and strict rollback if the audit insert fails.</li>
<li>Two-step choice pattern: the first layer offers Accept All and Show Options; the preferences screen (one click away) offers equal-weight Accept All, Reject All, and Save Preferences buttons.</li>
<li>Server-mirror consent cookie via a cache-safe <code>GET /mirror-nonce</code> endpoint (<code>Cache-Control: no-store</code>), so full-page caching does not break nonce validation.</li>
<li>Geo targeting: the consent-required region set is the EEA (EU-27 plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway) plus the United Kingdom. Detection uses the Cloudflare <code>CF-IPCountry</code> header when present, with a fail-safe default: if the country cannot be determined, the visitor is treated as in-scope.</li>
<li>CSV/JSON streamed export of the consent log, plus a pre-uninstall evidence warning with one-click export.</li>
<li>DSAR lookup admin tool: recompute a visitor’s subject hash from IP + User-Agent and list matching consent-log entries (GDPR Art. 15 support).</li>
</ul>
<h4>Integrations</h4>
<ul>
<li>Meta Pixel: define <code>PLAIN_COOKIE_CONSENT_FACEBOOK_PIXEL_ID</code> in <code>wp-config.php</code>.</li>
<li>Microsoft Clarity: define <code>PLAIN_COOKIE_CONSENT_CLARITY_PROJECT_ID</code> in <code>wp-config.php</code>.</li>
<li>LinkedIn Insight Tag: define <code>PLAIN_COOKIE_CONSENT_LINKEDIN_PARTNER_ID</code> in <code>wp-config.php</code>.</li>
<li>Public <code>window.plainCookieConsent</code> JavaScript API (<code>getCategories</code>, <code>hasConsent</code>, <code>onChange</code>, <code>onGrant</code>, <code>onRevoke</code>) for site-specific vendors.</li>
<li>Cookie cleanup on revoke with curated defaults for LinkedIn, TikTok, Hotjar, Clarity, Yandex Metrica, and Snapchat (<code>plain_cookie_consent_autoclear_cookies</code> filter).</li>
<li><code>localStorage</code> / <code>sessionStorage</code> cleanup on a real granted-to-revoked transition (<code>plain_cookie_consent_clear_storage_keys</code> filter).</li>
</ul>
<h4>Accessibility</h4>
<ul>
<li>The banner and preferences modal are attested against WCAG 2.1 AA.</li>
<li>axe-core smoke tests (<code>wcag2a</code>, <code>wcag2aa</code>, <code>wcag21aa</code> tags) run on every push and pull request via GitHub Actions.</li>
<li>Site-level accessibility remains the operator’s responsibility.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Languages</h4>
<p>Translation catalogs ship for nine languages: English, German, Russian, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Polish, and Portuguese. Banner language auto-resolution covers all nine shipped languages, including regional variants (for example de-AT or pt-BR), with any other locale falling back to English. Any shipped catalog can also be selected explicitly, and translators can override strings the standard WordPress gettext way.</p>
<h4>Not included</h4>
<ul>
<li>TCF v2.2 (programmatic publishers).</li>
<li>Consent analytics dashboards beyond the read-only Consent Health widget.</li>
<li>Multi-domain consent sync.</li>
<li>Banner A/B testing.</li>
<li>Script auto-blocking beyond Consent Mode and the documented vendor helpers.</li>
</ul>
<h3>External services</h3>
<p>This plugin has no telemetry and never sends data to its own or the author’s servers. Consent records stay in your own WordPress database.</p>
<p>The plugin can optionally load three well-known third-party marketing/analytics tags <strong>on your behalf</strong>. Each one is OFF by default and only ever loads when BOTH of the following are true:</p>
<ol>
<li>You explicitly enable it by defining the matching constant in <code>wp-config.php</code>, and</li>
<li>The visitor grants the relevant consent category in the banner.</li>
</ol>
<p>If you do not define these constants, the plugin makes no third-party requests at all. Once enabled, the tag still loads only after the visitor grants the relevant consent category in the banner.</p>
<h4>Meta (Facebook) Pixel</h4>
<p>Optional advertising measurement. Enabled by defining <code>PLAIN_COOKIE_CONSENT_FACEBOOK_PIXEL_ID</code>. When a visitor grants <strong>advertising</strong> consent, the plugin loads <code>https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/fbevents.js</code> and initialises the Pixel with your Pixel ID. From then on, on each page view, Meta receives standard Pixel data: your Pixel ID, the page URL and referrer, the visitor’s IP address and browser/user-agent, and a PageView event. Nothing is sent before advertising consent.<br />

<h4>Microsoft Clarity</h4>
<p>Optional session analytics (heatmaps and session insights). Enabled by defining <code>PLAIN_COOKIE_CONSENT_CLARITY_PROJECT_ID</code>. When a visitor grants <strong>analytics</strong> consent, the plugin loads <code>https://www.clarity.ms/tag/<your-project-id></code>. From then on, on each page view, Microsoft receives Clarity analytics data: your project ID, the page URL, the visitor’s IP address and browser/user-agent, and interaction events such as clicks and scrolls. Nothing is sent before analytics consent.<br />
Provider: Microsoft Corporation. Privacy Statement: https://www.microsoft.com/privacy/privacystatement — Clarity Terms of Service: https://clarity.microsoft.com/terms</p>
<h4>LinkedIn Insight Tag</h4>
<p>Optional advertising measurement on LinkedIn. Enabled by defining <code>PLAIN_COOKIE_CONSENT_LINKEDIN_PARTNER_ID</code>. When a visitor grants <strong>advertising</strong> consent, the plugin loads <code>https://snap.licdn.com/li.lms-analytics/insight.min.js</code> with your Partner ID. From then on, on each page view, LinkedIn receives Insight Tag data: your Partner ID, the page URL, and the visitor’s IP address and browser/user-agent. Nothing is sent before advertising consent.<br />
