Connect the WordPress banner

Cookie Compliance Professional is a paid Connected plan. The WordPress plugin displays the consent banner; the connected dashboard is where you configure it, manage domains, and access consent records. Install and activate the plugin, then sign in to Cookie Compliance from WordPress. Configure the banner and its controls in the dashboard, and review the banner on your site before publishing. Banner Only mode runs without an account and does not include connected features such as automatic script blocking, purpose categories, or consent record storage.

Configure user choices

Intentional Consent presents three equal choices through packaged Data Access Levels, so visitors can accept none, some, or all cookies. They can pick how long consent remains valid and make choices by purpose category. In the expanded banner, consent metrics display the visitor’s consent record and which third parties were blocked or allowed.

Set script and consent controls

Automatic script blocking holds third-party scripts and iframes until a visitor chooses. To meet consent requirements, the website must record consent before setting or sending cookies. Google Consent Mode v2 is available on every plan. Facebook and Microsoft Consent Modes are included with Professional and apply visitor choices to those platforms’ signals.

The connected service includes formatting guidance and technical compliance requirements for more than 100 countries and legal jurisdictions. Whether a site is fully compliant depends on its configuration and how it uses personal data.

Manage languages, domains, and WordPress integrations

Connected mode supports multilingual banners, with banner text translated automatically and each string available for customization. Multi-domain management lets you manage domains associated with your account, each with its own banner configuration and styling. The plugin also integrates with the WordPress Privacy Policy page and supports WPML and Polylang.

When the free WP Consent API companion plugin is active, Cookie Compliance registers as the active Consent Management Platform. Cooperative plugins such as WooCommerce, Google Site Kit, Burst Statistics, WP Statistics, AddToAny, and Pixel Manager for WooCommerce can then follow the consent choice made through the banner.
