PolicyDesk

PolicyDesk is a professional-grade cookie consent management plugin designed to help WordPress websites achieve full compliance with GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act), LGPD (Brazil), and other global privacy regulations.

Why Choose PolicyDesk Over Basic PolicyDesk Plugins?

While many cookie notice plugins offer basic compliance, PolicyDesk goes beyond with professional-grade features. We implement the Intentional Consent framework, which eliminates dark patterns and ensures equal prominence for Accept, Decline, and Preferences options – a requirement for true GDPR compliance. With full Google Consent Mode v2 integration, automatic script blocking, intelligent cookie scanning, and comprehensive analytics dashboard, PolicyDesk provides everything you need for professional privacy compliance.

What Makes Us Different:

• Intentional Consent Framework – Unlike basic plugins, we offer 3 equal buttons (Accept None, Some, All) that comply with GDPR’s equal choice principle
• Google Consent Mode v2 – Full implementation with all consent parameters, not just basic integration
• Automatic Cookie Scanner – Automatically detects and categorizes cookies on your website (most plugins require manual entry)
• Analytics Dashboard – Track consent rates, export records, and generate compliance reports
• Automatic Script Blocking – Blocks third-party scripts before consent (many plugins only show notices)
• Default Configurations – One-click GDPR, CCPA, and Basic templates for instant setup

Key Compliance Features:

• GDPR-Ready Features – Equal choice principle, granular consent, consent duration control, privacy paper, and consent record storage (Note: Plugin provides tools to help with GDPR compliance, but does not guarantee compliance)
• CCPA-Ready Features – “Do Not Sell” option, privacy contact information, and data subject request forms (Note: Plugin provides tools to help with CCPA compliance, but does not guarantee compliance)
• Google Consent Mode v2 – Full implementation with all consent parameters for Google Analytics 4
• Intentional Consent – 3 equal buttons (Accept None, Some, All) that comply with GDPR equal choice principle
• Automatic Script Blocking – Blocks third-party scripts (Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, etc.) before consent
• Cookie Scanner – Automatically detects and categorizes cookies on your website
• Analytics Dashboard – Track consent rates, export records, and generate compliance reports
• Fully Customizable – Customize colors, text, layout, position, and styling to match your brand
• Accessibility – WCAG/ADA compliant with keyboard navigation and screen reader support

Perfect for e-commerce sites, blogs, business websites, and any WordPress site that needs to comply with privacy regulations while maintaining a great user experience.
