What the author says it does
Easiest Cookie Consent Banner & Cookie Consent Management Plugin for WordPress
WPConsent is the easiest cookie consent banner plugin for WordPress. Add a customizable cookie banner, automatically block third-party cookies and tracking scripts, scan your website for cookies, and comply with GDPR, CCPA / CPRA, ePrivacy, DSGVO, TTDSG, LGPD, POPIA, APA, RGPD, PIPEDA, and other global privacy regulations – all without writing a line of code.
Unlike SaaS cookie consent tools that charge per pageview and store your consent records on their servers, WPConsent is a fully self-hosted cookie consent management plugin (CMP). Every cookie consent record lives in your own WordPress database, so you own your consent data with no monthly cookie consent platform fees and no pageview caps.
WPConsent Pro
This plugin is the Lite version of WPConsent Pro, which comes with smart geolocation cookie banners, automatic translations, IAB TCF v2.3 consent framework, automatic cookie scanning, eCommerce auto-configuration, “Do Not Sell” CCPA addon, and more.

Questions the author answers
Is my website fully compliant by using WPConsent?
This plugin is not a guarantee of website compliance. We do our best to help you with privacy compliance, but it is your responsibility to ensure your website meets all applicable cookie law requirements, including GDPR, CCPA, CPRA, LGPD, PIPEDA, and other applicable global privacy regulations.
How do I add a cookie consent banner to my WordPress website?
After activating the WPConsent plugin, you can customize your cookie consent banner by visiting the WPConsent > Banner Design page in your WordPress admin area. Choose a layout, adjust colors and text, add your logo, and publish – no code required.
How do I configure the automatic script blocking feature?
You can enable and adjust automatic script blocking by visiting the WPConsent > Settings page in your WordPress admin area. WPConsent will automatically detect and block common tracking scripts like Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and Microsoft Clarity until visitors grant cookie consent.
How do I scan my WordPress website for cookies?
After activating the WPConsent plugin, you can scan your website for cookies by visiting the WPConsent > Scanner page in your WordPress admin area. The website cookie scanner will detect services running on your site and build a cookie inventory automatically.
Does WPConsent work with Google Consent Mode v2?
Yes. WPConsent ships with Google Consent Mode v2 integration out of the box. Your Google Analytics and Google Ads tags will keep working in consent-denied mode, letting you receive modeled conversion data without setting cookies before consent.
Is WPConsent GDPR compliant? Does it support CCPA?
WPConsent is designed to help WordPress websites meet GDPR, CCPA, CPRA, LGPD, PIPEDA, UK GDPR, and other global privacy regulations. Features like automatic script blocking, cookie category management, Global Privacy Control support, and records of consent are built for real cookie compliance, not cosmetic cookie notices.
Latest changelog entry
- Fix: Hardened Automatic Script Blocking against a stored XSS issue through crafted comments.
- Fix: Visitors who send a Global Privacy Control signal, or who rejected cookies, are no longer counted as consented by Google Analytics on slower sites in opt-out mode.
- Fix: Thrive Themes Landing Pages and Video elements now stay blocked until consent, and editing a page in Thrive Architect no longer saves WPConsent placeholders into its content.
- Fix: Pages with very large inline scripts, such as Voxel’s post forms, no longer break when Automatic Script Blocking is on.

Where this page's numbers come from
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.
