A GDPR cookie compliance plugin for EU and UK WordPress sites

GDPR Cookie Compliance is a free WordPress plugin that helps make your site compliant with the EU GDPR and cookie laws. The easy-to-use system manages the use and storage of cookies and requires minimal setup.

The concern around privacy has led to the need for many applications for removing certain cookies, like Cookienator, but GDPR and CCPA laws still require website owners to take certain additional actions. The GDPR Cookie Compliance plugin enables you to take swift action easily.

Fully customizable

GDPR Cookie Compliance allows WP site admins to customize the message displayed to their visitors. It makes it possible to change the font, colors and add logos. You can also change the text in the message. Users can even set the notification position and display it at the top or bottom of web pages.

Full control to users

The plugin grants visitors full control over which website cookies are permitted, including the ability to revoke cookie permissions completely. Additionally, site admins can adjust consent expiration settings and control the duration required before visitors need to renew their consent, if at all.

Useful features

Besides the core functions, the plugin also offers other helpful features, including GeoIP functionality, which lets you display the notification only to visitors from areas where EU laws apply. Users can also hide the notifications on certain pages, and the system stores consent logs so that site admins can provide consent records as needed.

Simple and effective

GDPR Cookie Compliance makes it easy for WordPress site admins to ensure their site is fully compliant with GDPR and CCPA laws. Setup is extremely simple, and there's a range of customization settings to modify its behavior and appearance. It can also block third-party content from displaying until users give consent, such as embedded YouTube videos.

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
