Cookie Rocket – Cookie Consent & Privacy Compliance
Cookie Rocket is a lightweight cookie consent plugin that actually blocks third-party tracking scripts until your visitors consent — not just a banner on top. Automatic blocking of Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, Hotjar and more, plus Google Consent Mode v2, a cookie scanner and a consent log, are all included in the free version. Native compliance for GDPR, LGPD (Brazil) and LFPDPPP (Mexico).
It is a fully self-hosted alternative to cloud cookie-consent services: no account, no monthly SaaS fee and no external calls. Real script blocking, Google Consent Mode v2 and on-demand cookie scanning are free here — features that comparable consent tools typically gate behind a paid plan or a remote service.
- Automatic script blocking: common third-party trackers (Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, Hotjar, Microsoft Clarity, LinkedIn, TikTok and more) are blocked until consent, with Google Consent Mode v2 built in.
- Built-in cookie scanner: detect on demand which known tracking services are present on your site and the cookies they set.
- Automatic cookie policy / cookie declaration: a single shortcode (or one-click page) publishes a table of every cookie your site uses — provider, purpose and duration — grouped by category and updated from your scans.
- Consent audit log with an admin viewer: every consent decision is recorded and browsable for compliance.
- Editable cookie categories: rename, re-describe and reorder the categories shown on the banner.
- Unified Cookie Banner editor: layout, content (text and labels) and colours, all in one place.
- Zero external scripts and zero CDN dependencies — everything is served from your own site.
- Native compliance for LFPDPPP (Mexico) and LGPD (Brazil).
- GDPR compatible out of the box.
- 100% local — no consent data is sent to third-party servers.
- WooCommerce aware: respects shop pages and checkout.
- Fully customizable colors, fonts sizes, copy and banner position.
- WCAG 2.1 AA accessible: keyboard navigation, focus states, ARIA labels.
- Multisite compatible.
- Five banner layouts: bottom bar, top bar, floating card, modal and drawer.
