This plugin stores consent preferences in a browser cookie on the visitor's device. When consent logging is active, IP addresses and user agents are stored as one-way SHA-256 hashes combined with the WordPress salt, making them non-reversible. No personal data is shared with external services by this plugin itself. See the \"External services\" section below for details on optional Google integrations.<\/p>\n\n
External services<\/h3>\n\n
This plugin optionally connects to external services when the site administrator explicitly enables them. No external connections are made by default.<\/p>\n\n
Google Tag Manager<\/h4>\n\n
When the administrator enables Google Tag Manager under Cookie Consent > Settings and provides a GTM container ID, this plugin loads the Google Tag Manager script from Google's servers.<\/p>\n\n
What it does: Loads a tag management container that can manage analytics, marketing, and other scripts on the site.\nWhen it connects: On every frontend page load, only when GTM is enabled and a valid container ID (GTM-XXXXXXX) is configured.\nData sent: The GTM container ID is sent to Google's servers to retrieve the container script. No personal visitor data is sent by this plugin directly; however, the loaded GTM container may collect data based on its own configuration.<\/p>\n\n

Google Consent Mode v2<\/h4>\n\n
When the administrator enables Google Consent Mode under Cookie Consent > Settings, this plugin sends consent signals to Google services via the browser's dataLayer.<\/p>\n\n
What it does: Communicates the visitor's consent status (granted or denied) for ad storage, analytics storage, and personalization to Google services already running on the site.\nWhen it connects: Consent default signals are set on page load. Consent update signals are sent when a visitor interacts with the cookie banner. This does not load any additional external scripts.\nData sent: Consent status values (granted\/denied) for: ad_storage, ad_user_data, ad_personalization, analytics_storage, functionality_storage, personalization_storage, security_storage.<\/p>\n\n

Cookie Scanner (local only)<\/h4>\n\n
The Cookie Scanner feature makes an HTTP request to your own site's homepage to detect cookies and scripts. It does not connect to any external service.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n- Upload the
nivaj-cookie-consent<\/code> folder to the \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> directory.<\/li>\n- Activate the plugin through the Plugins<\/strong> menu in WordPress.<\/li>\n
- Navigate to Cookie Consent > Settings<\/strong> to configure the plugin.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
\nDoes this plugin block scripts automatically?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. Define URL patterns under Cookie Consent > Scripts<\/strong>, and the plugin will block matching <script><\/code> and <iframe><\/code> tags until the visitor consents to the relevant category.<\/p><\/dd>\n
