Cookie Dash

Cookie Dash is a plugin meant to help people deploy Google Tag manager on their WordPress websites in a broad data privacy compliant manner.

Privacy law is complex and there are many more granular solutions for controlling the specific output of tags and managing consent. For people who like to keep things simple we\’ve taken a different approach with this plugin. A basic cookie consent collection popup is included with the plugin, and if consent is denied, the plugin will disable the outputting of the Google Tag manager scripts to the page.

This plugin works under the assumption that all marketing tags for 3rd party tools that collect personal information are deployed through Google Tag Manager.
