A Wordpress plugin to load CookieConsent by Orest Bida.
This plugin is designed to make it very easy to integrate CookieConsent by Orest Bida into a Wordpress website.
Either:
- Click the <> Code button above, select Download ZIP, or
- Go to the latest release in Releases on the right, then download the latest Source code (zip)
Extract the ZIP file, then find the cookieconsent-loader.zip file within for installing the plugin.
- Go to your Wordpress site, log in as Admin
- Go to the Plugins > Add New Plugin section
- Click the Upload Plugin button
- Select the
cookieconsent-loader.zipfile per above
There are three steps to configure the plugin. In Wordpress Admin, go to Settings > CookieConsent, then..:
This plugin is distributed without the CookieConsent JS and CSS files. Select the version you want to use from the dropdown, and click the Update to Selected Release button. This downloads the cookieconsent.umd.js and cookieconsent.css files for the selected release from Github, and serves them from your webserver.
Warning
This plugin may not play well with optimisation plugins, such as Autoptimize. You may wish to exclude all files beginning with cookieconsent. from any optimisations if you run into problems.
Choose who sees the CookieConsent banner. By default, the banner is displayed to all users. While you are refining what the banner looks like, you may want to limit it to specific (logged in) users. Once ready to publish, you can set this back to all users. After making a selection, click the Save Display Settings button.
A boilerplate Configuration JS file is included to get you up and running quickly, however this file has to be saved at least once before it will load. There are a huge number of configuration options available; you should try them out to see what works for you! If you are using Google Tag Manager to load analytics and marketing pixels, there are two dataLayer.push() commands in the boilerplate configuration that will help with integrating consent signals in your GTM container.
If you want to reset this back to defaults, simply delete the cookieconsent.config.js file from the plugin assets folder.
The Custom CSS box can be left empty, unless you want to customise the colours etc.. You can find examples of custom CSS in the CookieConsent Playground - scroll to the Themes section.
