Kansleri Cookie Consent is a free, lightweight, and easy-to-use WordPress cookie consent plugin. There are no ads, no pro version, and no upsells. It is perfect for personal websites, small businesses, and hobby sites who want no-hassle cookie consent.
Features:
- Three banner styles: bottom bar, centered modal, corner popup
- Customizable colors, texts, and button labels
- Plugin or Theme typography mode for consistent banner styling (Plugin style is the default)
- Four consent categories: Necessary, Analytics, Marketing, Preferences
- Script auto-blocking — prevents third-party scripts from running until consent is given, including WordPress-enqueued scripts and raw HTML scripts from page builders (Bricks, Elementor, custom code injectors)
- YouTube & Vimeo iframe blocking — video embeds are blocked until marketing cookies are accepted, with a user-friendly placeholder
- Google Consent Mode v2 integration with automatic default/update signals
- GTM dataLayer push on consent changes
- Integration tab recommends Google Site Kit (Google’s official WordPress plugin) for installing Google Analytics 4 and Google Tag Manager, so Consent Mode v2 signals work out of the box without manual GTM snippet management
- Built-in cookie scanner that auto-identifies common cookies (Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, WordPress core, and more) — including cookies from consent-blocked scripts via service inference
- AI-assisted cookie descriptions — copy a prompt, paste into an AI tool, import the result
- AI-assisted policy page generation — generate a complete cookie/privacy policy page with one prompt
- Cookie policy page defaults to the WordPress Privacy Policy page, with a dynamic
[kncc_cookie_policy]shortcode (theme styling by default; plugin styling optional) - Floating settings button for visitors to update preferences (on by default)
[kncc_cookie_settings]shortcode — add a cookie settings link anywhere (footer, menu, etc.) with customizable text- “Edit cookie preferences” button on the policy page for easy consent withdrawal
- Per-user consent logging — anonymized audit trail for GDPR compliance with CSV export
- Consent statistics dashboard (no personal data stored)
- Graceful multilingual policy page fallback — if a language is missing a translated policy page, the banner links to the default-language page instead of a 404
- Google Site Kit integration — auto-detects and avoids duplicate consent signals
- WP Consent API integration — shares consent status with other plugins
- Full WPML and Polylang support — per-language banner texts, cookie descriptions, banner style, colors, and policy page
- Finnish translation included with auto-localized defaults
- Daily cron check for missing cookie descriptions with admin notifications
- Comprehensive documentations tab with installation guide, option explanations, and troubleshooting
- Clean uninstall — removes all data when deleted
