## Description
Pressidium Cookie Consent makes it easy to add a stylish, customizable cookie consent
banner to your website and conditionally load third-party scripts (analytics, performance,
targeting, etc.) based on the user-selected preferences to help you comply with
EU GDPR cookie law, CCPA, and similar regulations.
#### ⚙️ Fully customizable
Easily modify the cookie consent banner and settings modal text. Pick one of the
built-in color presets to match your website’s aesthetic, or adjust the color of
individual components via our convenient color picker. Choose from a variety of
layouts, positions, and transitions directly from the WordPress dashboard.
#### 🪶 Lightweight
The plugin is built on top of the Cookie Consent JS library by Orest Bida, a standalone
vanilla JavaScript library with no third-party dependencies, that loads blazingly
fast and won’t slow down your website.
#### ♿ Accessible
An a11y friendly plugin — fully accessible and WAI-ARIA compliant.
#### 🌐 Translatable
Modify any text in the cookie consent banner and settings modal, and provide translations.
Choose the language auto-detection strategy you prefer — either read the user’s
browser language or read the markup of the current page to identify its primary
language.
#### 📱 Responsive
Fully responsive and mobile-friendly cookie consent banner and settings modal.
#### 🙅 Block scripts
Control which scripts are loaded based on the user’s preferences. List the URLs
of the scripts you’d like to block (both exact matches and regular expressions are
supported) and prevent them from running until the user has given consent.
#### 🧹 Auto-clear cookies
Automatically delete cookies when a user opts-out of a specific category inside
cookie settings.
#### ✋ Force consent
Block the user from interacting with the page until they consent to your cookie
policy.
#### 🔁 Re-consent
Ask users to consent again when you update your cookie policy.
#### 📝 Consent records
Record user consents to be able to provide proof of consent for auditing purposes.
#### 🎛️ Floating settings button
Add a floating settings button to your website that allows users to change their
cookie preferences at any time.
#### 🤖 Hide from bots
Automatically parse the user agent to detect bots, crawlers, and webdrivers. If
one is detected, you have the option to hide the cookie consent banner from them.
#### 🧩 Google Consent Mode (GCM) integration
Integrate with Google Consent Mode (GCM) to adjust how Google tags behave based
on the user’s consent preferences. Supports both Google tag (gtag.js) and Google
Tag Manager (GTM) implementations.
#### 🚪 Google tag gateway integration
One-click PHP proxy to quickly route traffic to Google tag gateway for advertisers.
#### ✨ AI integration
Integrate with AI to generate translations and cookie descriptions. Supports both
GPT and Gemini.
#### 🧱 Block for the WordPress Block Editor
Add the **Pressidium Cookies Table** block for the Block Editor to display a dynamic
table listing all cookies under the selected category, making it easy for users
to understand what cookies are being used on the site.
#### ⌨️ Control it programmatically
Programmatically control the plugin. Conditionally show/hide the cookie consent
banner and/or the settings modal, accept one (or more) cookie categories, erase
cookies, load previously blocked scripts, etc.

### [It just works](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/it-just-works-885/)
[peteryak](https://profiles.wordpress.org/peteryak/) آپریل 6, 2026
I tested the top ten plugins and only this one managed to block analytics cookies
for my setup unless the user gives full consent. It also offers consent logs as
a free feature. Problem solved – kudos to the developers!
### [Simple the best](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/simple-the-best-25/)

[jdevreede](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jdevreede/) نوامبر 16, 2025
Having struggled with free plugins without consent log, and payed pluging which
were still very hard to configure. This is now my favourite. Yes I needed help from
chat GPT, but now my site is fully GDPR proof.
