KaaTai Consent Manager is a privacy-first cookie consent plugin for GDPR-compliant websites. It gives your visitors full control over cookies and tracking scripts — while keeping you compliant with the GDPR, ePrivacy, and (in Germany) DSGVO and TDDDG. The admin interface is fully available in English and German.
Instead of spreading thin across 100+ jurisdictions, KaaTai does one thing exceptionally well: clean, no-nonsense GDPR consent — backed by unusually deep coverage of German/DACH law (DSGVO, TDDDG, ePrivacy), among the strictest in Europe. That depth benefits every GDPR site: a curated cookie database, ready-made legal-text templates, vendor presets, and built-in compliance checks. Works on international sites today, with more localized presets on the way.

<h4>Deep GDPR & DACH Expertise</h4>
The cookie database, legal-text templates, and compliance checks are built around the GDPR and the especially strict German rules (DSGVO, TDDDG, ePrivacy) — so you get compliance depth that also covers the rest of the EU. The plugin is fully translatable and locale-aware: the admin UI ships in English and German, legal texts can be rendered per language, and more localized presets are being added.

<h3>External Services</h3>
<h4>Third-party service references (detection patterns, NOT dependencies)</h4>
This plugin is a Consent Management Tool. Its purpose is to detect, categorize, and block third-party tracking scripts until the visitor gives consent. The plugin contains a database of known tracking services with their hostnames and script patterns.
These references are identification patterns only. The plugin does not load, connect to, or transmit any data to these services. It uses the patterns to recognize scripts already present on your site and block them until consent is granted.
