This plugin works alongside the free Complianz plugin to helps you keep a clear, reliable record of your visitors’ consents so you can stay on top of privacy rules and audits. It is designed specifically to save and manage consent records, making it ideal if you don’t need all the bells and whistles of Complianz Pro.
I built this plugin with care to give you a solid, easy-to-use tool that should meet GDPR requirements. However, it doesn’t guarantee full legal compliance, and none of its settings or descriptions should be considered legal advice.
That said, here’s why you’ll like this plugin:
<ul>
<li>Keeps user IDs anonymous so your visitors’ privacy is respected while staying compliant with data laws.</li>
<li>5-step wizard to get you started quickly.</li>
<li>Uses SHA-256 hashing to help ensure consent records cannot be changed or tampered with without being detected.</li>
<li>Lets you customize how you view consent records. You can show or hide details, pick custom dates, and see the full history of consents if you want.</li>
<li>Gives you advanced filters to find exactly the records you need.</li>
<li>Allows you to export all consent data, so you can keep a backup or review it offline.</li>
<li>Manages data with options to automatically clean up old records.</li>
<li>Thorough uninstall deletes all plugin data.</li>
</ul>

Record of Consent Extension for Complianz


I encourage everyone to create, build and improve where possible; this is a great example.The extension delivers what it promises; and feedback was well received.The plugin itself lives between the 'Proof of Consent' feature in Complianz Free - which respects a GDPR principle called data minimization by not collecting any personal data whatsoever and the premium feature in Complianz that does; but connects more information to the specific user and timestamped consent actions.A great addition to the repository.


This is why we love WordPress / Open-Source

Stores custom consent records triggered by Complianz events with compliance tracking and auditing capabilities.

<h4>Important Note</h4>
This plugin is specifically designed for GDPR and IAB TCF v2.3 compliance. It does not currently support US privacy frameworks such as CCPA or CPRA, or other non-EU regional privacy regulations.
<h4>Why You Need a CMP</h4>
Under GDPR, ePrivacy, and similar regulations, publishers must obtain informed, recorded consent before loading non-essential cookies, trackers, or advertising vendors. A Consent Management Platform (CMP) is the tool that requests that consent, stores the user’s choices, and broadcasts them to your downstream partners in a standard, machine-readable format. Without one, ad and analytics revenue from EU users is legally at risk.
<h3>Privacy</h3>
By installing and using the Consent Management Platform by ShareThis you agree to our <a href="https://www.sharethis.com/publisher-terms-of-use/" rel="nofollow ugc">terms of use</a>. Those terms include ShareThis’s ability to record interactions with the consent banner.
