Features

The feature list from the plugin's own readme on WordPress.org, trimmed to the essentials.

  • Consent banner with four layouts: compact card, center modal, top/bottom bar, side drawer
  • Five design presets (Clean Light, Soft Neutral, Dark Contrast, Minimal Bar, Brand Accent) with custom colors and live preview
  • Category- and service-level consent (Necessary, Statistics, Marketing, External Media)
  • Real blocking: enqueued scripts, inline scripts (conservative signatures), iframes, oEmbeds, Gutenberg embeds, resource hints
  • Cache-safe architecture: identical HTML for all visitors, activation happens client-side — works with page caching and CDNs
  • Accessible placeholders with “load once” and “always allow” actions
  • Google Consent Mode v2 (strict basic mode by default, advanced mode as explicit opt-in)
  • Managed Google Analytics 4 and Google Tag Manager integration
  • Custom services with safe matching rules (hosts, wildcards, URL substrings, script handles, inline signatures — no regex)
  • Manual consent wrapper shortcode for custom embeds and Leaflet maps
  • Consent revocation via floating button, shortcode, JavaScript API, or data attribute
  • Diagnostics for conflicting consent plugins and duplicate Google integrations

Details

Block analytics, YouTube, maps, scripts, and external embeds until visitors provide consent.
