PolicyDesk is a professional-grade cookie consent plugin for WordPress that helps you implement a clear cookie notice experience for GDPR/CCPA and other privacy requirements.
It includes multiple banner layouts (Banner, Box, Modal), a preferences modal for category-based choices (when enabled), a basic CCPA “Do not sell or share my personal information” option, and consent logging stored in cookies and your WordPress database.
Many cookie notice plugins stop at a simple banner. PolicyDesk focuses on flexible layouts, an accessible preference center, and admin tools to configure how consent is collected and stored. Additional advanced features may be available in PolicyDesk Pro (see the Premium Features section below).

</ul>
<h4>3rd party services</h4>
AesirX CMP does not require third-party services for standard consent mode and consent enforcement. 
However, AesirX CMP includes an optional Decentralized Consent mode. If the site owner enables Decentralized Consent and the site visitor chooses to use it, the plugin will load and use the following third-party services to establish the decentralized consent flow:
<ul>
<li>WalletConnect (used to connect the visitor’s wallet for signing the decentralized consent action)</li>
<li>Concordium (used as part of the decentralized consent verification and ID anchoring flow, depending on configuration)</li>
</ul>
These services are not loaded unless Decentralized Consent mode is enabled and selected by the visitor.
This may transmit wallet connection metadata and a signed consent payload.
When used for ID verification zero-knowledge proofs are used as privacy preserving technologies (PETs) to ensure the personal data is not shared with the website owner.
