ConsentCook
ConsentCook shows your visitors a cookie banner, records their choices, and holds tracking back until they have said yes. This plugin connects your WordPress site to your ConsentCook account and places the banner on every page for you — nothing to paste, and nothing in your theme to edit.
Everything about the banner — how it looks, what it says, which languages and regions it covers — is managed in your ConsentCook dashboard, and anything you publish there reaches your site on its own. The plugin's only job is the connection, and it makes sure the banner loads before any tracking does.
Connecting takes about a minute. Press Connect ConsentCook in the plugin's settings, sign in, choose your site, and you are done. Your ConsentCook password stays with ConsentCook — WordPress never sees it — and until you connect, the plugin does nothing at all.
ConsentCook has a free plan for one site with no card needed, and nothing in this plugin is locked behind payment.
For developers
- The banner script is placed at the earliest point of the page head, so consent is resolved before analytics and marketing tags run. If a theme hard-codes analytics above the head output, move those tags after ConsentCook.
- When the WP Consent API plugin is active, ConsentCook keeps its consent categories in sync with it.
- Sites enforcing a strict nonce-based Content Security Policy can supply the
request nonce through the
consentcook_csp_noncefilter.
External services
This plugin connects your site to ConsentCook (https://consentcook.com), the service that provides the banner. Once connected:
- Every public page loads the banner script and your site's published banner settings from consentcook.com.
- When a visitor makes a choice on the banner, that choice is sent to ConsentCook so it can be recorded and enforced.
- If the banner hits a problem in a visitor's browser, a limited error report may be sent to ConsentCook so it can be fixed. No other visitor data is collected by the plugin itself.
Pressing Connect opens ConsentCook so you can sign in there; your password stays with ConsentCook and is never shared with this site.
While an administrator has the plugin's settings page open, the site also fetches your published banner settings so the screen can show what is live. That request identifies your site only by its public key, carries no visitor data, and is remembered for five minutes. If your host blocks outgoing requests, the screen says so and everything else keeps working.
