A simple way to get GDPR Cookie Consent as per EU GDPR/Cookie Law regulations. The plugin supports CCPA Do Not Sell too. Style it to match your own website.
The GDPR Cookie Consent plugin will assist you in making your website GDPR compliant. It also supports cookie compliance in accordance with The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) which is a state statute intended to enhance privacy rights and consumer protection for residents of California. The plugin comes with a host of features some of which are listed below.
Key Features:
✅ The plugin will enable a notice with Accept and Reject options. The cookies are not rendered by default and only upon user consent. (The cookie value will be set to ‘null’ by default; it takes a value ‘yes’ when the user clicks ‘Accept’ and ‘no’ upon ‘Reject’. Your developer can check this value to set a cookie accordingly.)
✅ Admin can configure cookie details and their description from the backend. The list of cookies can be displayed on your cookie policy page by using a shortcode.
✅ This plugin adds a subtle cookie banner to your website either in the header or footer so you can show your compliance status regarding the new GDPR law.
✅ You can fully customize the cookie notice style so it blends with your existing website: change the colours, fonts, styles, the position on the page, and even how it behaves when you click “Accept”.
✅ You can choose to make the cookie notice bar disappear after a few seconds (completely configurable) or to accept on scroll (an option available under Italian law).
✅ It also has a Cookie Audit module so you can easily show what cookies your site uses and display them neatly in a table on your Privacy & Cookies Policy page.
✅ Supports WPML and qTranslate

How to delay of appearing GDPR cookie seconds up to 9 seconds?
Is it possible to edit the Save and Accept button color and Text? It is the only option I am having trouble configuring!
Ok, cool. But does it actually block the cookies? Other plugins give the notice but the cookies are still set. Just trying to find something that makes my websites legal that wont cost me $600 per month!!! Interesting how you say it requires explicit consent. There is another free WP cookie plugin that shall remain nameless but has had over 1M downloads that says that implied consent is all that is needed!! I'm not a lawyer but was amazed to see that and think they are wrong. I think the reality is that in order to make your website totally compliant, you basically have to say goodbye to your ad revenue. Because ads like Adsense send cookies, there is no way round that. And if you ask every visitor "do you want the ads" they are pretty much all going to say "no way". Leaving the webmaster with the choice, should I go legal and destroy my business for sure, or put in a plugin that gives a sham of legality but is not actually compliant, and take the risk of getting snuffed out like a bug so that I can pay my rent? I mean, do I have this wrong??
Thank you it was very helpful :-).. I have choose to have the cookie thing in the footer. But I can not see all the text. How do I get the text higher up on the site ?
Not only that i learned how to setup, i also figured how cookies work and why added.
Hi i enabled GDPR Cookie Consent on my WordPress website, but the cookies banner doesn't disappear after clicking accept button, please advise
Louange à Allâh, Seigneur des mondes, merci beaucoup pour cette vidéo
I cannot get this to show on my Elementor edited Ocean WP theme.
I don't see the option "Non-necessary Cookie" as shown in the video. When they click on "Cookie settings". I only want to show Necessary and Functional, and want to hide the others (Performance, Analytics etc.) without deleting these categories.
Can you help me to find out the answer for these plugin question?
1. What is the function of the cookie
2. How long will the cookie be saved on the website
Are there any language settings? Namely, I'm looking to have all this written in Serbian.
I really don't get cookie stuff. Does having this plugin in my website covers me for any law troubles? Or there's something else to it? I'm looking for a free solution
all those options but cant get the tab to be in the left of the page not the right..
what a great vid and plugin
it's not showing accept cookie popup in mobile or tablet version of site. PLEASE HELP
Looks great. I'm going to give it a go
great video. Saved me a shit tonne of time.
very helpful thanks.
