CookieGuard — GDPR Cookie Consent & Banner for WordPress
Preview and demo
Status: unchecked. Availability checks are not a security guarantee.
Description
CookieGuard adds a clean, configurable cookie consent banner to WordPress and records each visitor's choice — no third-party service, no account, no per-view fees. You own the code and the data.
Pick a bottom bar, top bar or floating box; set the title, message, privacy-policy link and brand colors; offer Necessary / Analytics / Marketing categories with Accept all, Reject all or save individual choices; and let visitors reopen preferences with the [cookieguard_settings] shortcode. A cookieguard:consent JavaScript event lets your own scripts react.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the minimum server and WordPress requirements to run CookieGuard?
CookieGuard requires WordPress 6.2 or higher and PHP 8.0 or higher. The plugin uses namespaced, standards-first PHP code, so no legacy server configurations are supported.
Does CookieGuard rely on any third-party service, external account, or per-view fees?
No — CookieGuard is entirely self-hosted. There is no third-party consent platform, no account to create, and no per-pageview or subscription fees; you own the code and all the consent data it collects.
Which cookie categories and consent choices can visitors make with this banner?
The banner presents three built-in categories — Necessary, Analytics, and Marketing. Visitors can Accept all, Reject all, or individually save their own category-level choices, giving them granular control.
How much can I customise the banner's appearance and placement?
You can display the banner as a bottom bar, top bar, or floating box, and set a custom title, message, privacy-policy link, and brand colors directly from the plugin settings. No coding is required to match the banner to your site's design.
How can I let visitors reopen their cookie preferences after the banner has been dismissed?
Place the [cookieguard_settings] shortcode anywhere on a page — such as your Privacy Policy — to render a link or button that reopens the consent preferences panel. This makes it straightforward to comply with requirements that give users ongoing control over their choices.
How do I load third-party scripts conditionally based on a visitor's consent choices?
CookieGuard fires a cookieguard:consent JavaScript event on the page whenever consent is given or updated, which your own scripts can listen for before initialising analytics or marketing tools. This keeps you in control of script loading without needing a separate tag manager. Consent is stored in a first-party cookie for a configurable number of days so returning visitors are remembered.
