What the author says it does
Cookie Compliance for WordPress puts a clear, fair consent banner on your site and connects it to Cookie Compliance, the consent management platform by Hu-manity.co. (Previously published as “Compliance by Hu-manity.co”, and before that “Cookie Notice”.) The plugin runs the banner on your site; the Cookie Compliance dashboard is where you configure it, manage every domain you own and keep your consent records.
Built around Intentional Consent, the banner gives visitors three equal choices — accept none, some or all — so people can decide with confidence and you avoid the one-sided “dark pattern” designs that privacy regulators look at closely.
Two ways to use it
- Banner Only mode works on its own, with no account. You get the consent banner and its settings.
- Connected mode (free or paid) signs you in to Cookie Compliance from inside WordPress and adds automatic script blocking, purpose categories, consent records, Google Consent Mode, multilingual banners and multi-domain management.
Banner Only mode
- Customizable notice message
- Consent on click, scroll or close
- Multiple cookie expiry options
- Link to your Privacy Policy page, synchronized with the WordPress Privacy Policy page
- WPML and Polylang compatible
- SEO friendly

Questions the author answers
Is Cookie Compliance for WordPress free?
Yes! This plugin is free software, and Cookie Compliance has a free plan. There are paid plans too, depending on your needs and your website traffic.
Is this the same thing as Cookie Compliance?
Yes. Cookie Compliance is one product, and this plugin is its WordPress component — it runs the consent banner on your site. The Cookie Compliance dashboard is the other half, where you configure the banner, manage every domain you own and keep your consent records.
Does Banner Only mode make my site fully compliant with GDPR or US Privacy Laws?
No. Banner Only mode DOES NOT include technical compliance features such as automatic script blocking, consent purpose categories, or consent record storage. Those need the plugin signed in to Cookie Compliance.
Does Connected mode make my site fully compliant with GDPR and US Privacy Laws?
Not by itself — it gives you what you need to configure it that way. Signed in to Cookie Compliance you get the technical compliance features — automatic script blocking, consent purpose categories and consent record storage — covering requirements for over 100 countries and legal jurisdictions. Whether your site is fully compliant depends on how you configure them and on how your site uses personal data.
Can I add Cookie Compliance with an AI assistant?
Yes. Point an MCP-capable assistant (Claude Code, Cursor, and others) at https://mcp.cookie-compliance.co/mcp — no account is required to start. On WordPress, keep using this plugin for placement rather than pasting a snippet. Details: https://cookie-compliance.co/mcp/
Latest changelog entry
- New: The Overview tab now shows your last 30 days of consent activity, the same charts as the WordPress dashboard widget.
- New: On connected sites, Cookie Consent lets you set your company’s country, saved to your Cookie Compliance account.
- Fix: On connected sites, a privacy law’s suggested settings apply when you first select that law. Later saves keep the banner choices you have made.
- Fix: On the Overview tab, Meta, Microsoft, and Global Privacy Control show as optional when they are off. Global Privacy Control stays recommended for CCPA and other US state laws.

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.
