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).
