Is Weberslink Cookie Consent free?

Yes. It is a free download under the GPL and works on as many of your own WordPress sites as you like.

Does it make my site GDPR compliant?

It handles the consent part of cookie rules: a clear choice, scripts held back until agreement, and a record. You are still responsible for what your site sets, for a clear cookie policy and for the rest of the law. This is not legal advice.

Why do I need to move my tracking tags into the plugin?

A tag already in your theme or another plugin loads before the banner can stop it. Paste it into the matching box and the plugin releases it only after consent. Google tags that load themselves are controlled through Consent Mode.

Does it work with Google Tag Manager and GA4?

Yes. Consent Mode v2 starts everything denied and updates it with the visitor's choice. You can also put the GTM snippet in the Analytics or Marketing box.

Does it store visitors' IP addresses?

No. The consent log keeps the choice, the policy version and a one-way fingerprint used only to limit abuse, never the IP address itself.

Which WordPress and PHP versions does it need?

WordPress 5.9 or newer and PHP 7.4 or newer.

Weberslink Cookie Consent: Free WordPress Cookie Banner & GDPR Plugin

Download ZIP Version 1.0.0 · 20 KB · WordPress 5.9+ · PHP 7.4+ · GPL-2.0-or-later

What's inside

A banner people can use: Accept all and Reject all with the same size and prominence, a Customise dialog with a switch per category, and your colours and wording. Bar, corner box or centred dialog, and a small button to reopen it.
Scripts really wait: Paste Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, TikTok or any tag into its category: it is held back and released only after consent. Iframes (YouTube, Maps) and tracking images stay blank until the visitor agrees.
Google Consent Mode v2: Everything starts denied and is updated with the visitor's choice, so Google tags (GA4, Ads, Tag Manager) behave correctly. A data layer event and a browser event are fired for your own code.
Proof of consent: A log of each choice (action, categories, policy version) with a one-way fingerprint instead of an IP address, acceptance statistics, and CSV export. Ask everyone again with one tick when your policy changes.
Policy helpers: A [wlcc_cookies] shortcode prints a table of the cookies you use, and [wlcc_settings] adds a “Cookie settings” link anywhere.
Accessible and light: Focus is trapped in the dialog, Escape closes it, focus rings are visible, buttons are at least 44px tall, and the script is small and dependency free.
