Frequently asked questions

Does this plugin make my site GDPR compliant?

A consent banner is one part of compliance. Full GDPR compliance also depends on your privacy policy, what cookies you set, and how you handle data. This plugin provides the consent UI and the events to gate scripts behind it.

Where is consent stored?

Entirely client-side, in a browser cookie on the visitor's device. Nothing is written to your WordPress database on the front end.

How do I load analytics only after consent?

Listen for the cn:accepted DOM event the banner dispatches: document.addEventListener("cn:accepted", function(){ /* load analytics */ }); so scripts only run once a visitor opts in.

Is it really lightweight?

Yes. It is a single small JavaScript file with no jQuery, no external libraries and no CDN calls. The plugin sets no cookies of its own until the visitor clicks Accept.
