Questions the author answers

What is GDPR cookie consent?

GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) is the EU privacy law that protects personal data, known as DSGVO in German and RGPD in French and Spanish. Under GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive, websites must obtain explicit consent before storing or accessing non-essential cookies such as analytics and advertising cookies.

What is CCPA and what does it require?

The CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act, expanded by CPRA) gives California residents control over their personal data. For websites this means informing users about data collection, offering an opt-out such as a “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link, and handling user data securely. CookieYes also supports other US state privacy laws including VCDPA, CPA, CTDPA and UCPA.

What does this cookie plugin do?

CookieYes adds a cookie banner to your WordPress site, scans your site to find the cookies it sets, blocks non-essential cookies until visitors consent, logs consent for audits, and generates a Cookie Policy page. You can display your cookie list on any page using a shortcode.

How do I add a cookie banner to WordPress?

Install the CookieYes plugin (go to Plugins, then Add New, and search “CookieYes”), then activate it. A cookie consent banner appears on your site immediately. You can then customize the banner design and text, run a cookie scan, and generate a Cookie Policy page. No coding is required.

Do I need a cookie consent banner on my website?

If your website has visitors from the EU or EEA, the UK, Brazil, Canada, or US states such as California, and it sets non-essential cookies (analytics, advertising, embedded video), laws like GDPR, PECR, LGPD and CCPA/CPRA require you to inform visitors and obtain or facilitate consent. Most WordPress sites set such cookies through their theme, plugins or analytics tools.

How do I choose a cookie consent plugin for WordPress?

Look for automatic cookie blocking before consent, a cookie scanner that finds what your site actually sets, Google Consent Mode v2 support, low performance impact, consent logging for audit records, multilingual cookie banner support, and regular updates. CookieYes covers all of these in one cookie compliance plugin, with over 1 million active installations and a 4.8-star rating on WordPress.org.

Read from the WordPress.org plugin API on , when WordPress 7.1.4 was the current release. WordPress.org rounds active installs into buckets. These are the directory's figures, not my verdict, and I haven't tested this plugin. The author takes donations at their donate page.
