WordPress plugin for cookie consent banners and compliance.
What It Does
GDPR Cookie Consent adds a configurable cookie consent banner to your WordPress site. It scans for cookies, lets visitors accept or reject cookie categories, logs consent for compliance records, and blocks scripts until consent is given. Covers GDPR, CCPA, and ePrivacy.
