External Services
This plugin connects to ComplianceKit (https://www.compliancekit.tech), a third-party GDPR compliance service. This connection is the core purpose of the plugin — without it, the plugin does nothing.
What happens when the plugin is active:
When a visitor loads any page on your site, their browser fetches a JavaScript file from ComplianceKit’s CDN (www.compliancekit.tech/widget.js). This file renders the cookie consent banner and records the visitor’s consent decision.
Data sent to ComplianceKit:
- A randomly generated visitor ID (not linked to any personal identifier)
- The visitor’s consent preferences (which cookie categories they accepted or declined)
- The timestamp of the consent decision
- The widget version displayed
IP addresses are processed temporarily for security purposes and are not stored long-term.
This connection is required. The plugin cannot function without a ComplianceKit account and an active connection to the service.
