What is a WordPress cookie consent plugin?
A WordPress cookie consent plugin helps website owners comply with privacy regulations such as the GDPR, CCPA, and other global data protection laws by managing user consent for cookies.
It typically displays a cookie banner, blocks non-essential cookies until visitors give consent, saves their preferences, and maintains consent logs as proof of compliance.
Most plugins also scan your website to detect cookies, automatically categorize them (e.g., necessary, analytics, marketing), and allow users to make granular consent choices. Advanced features like geolocation-based consent and auto-blocking ensure compliance across regions.
The CookieYes WordPress plugin simplifies this process with automatic cookie scanning, customizable consent banners, and real-time updates, thus helping your WordPress site stay transparent, user-friendly, and compliant with global privacy laws.
