124 ## Frequently Asked Questions ##
125
126 ### Is Cookiebot free? ###
127
128 Yes. You can start on a **Free plan** to try the core consent features and upgrade anytime as your needs grow.
129
130 ### My banner isn’t showing on my site, what do I do? ###
131
132 First, confirm that your **Domain Group ID** is correct in the plugin settings. If it still doesn’t appear, open the **Support** tab, copy the **debug info**, and **contact support** so we can check your setup.
133
134 ### How do I customize my banner? ###
135
136 Open the Cookiebot Admin. You can adjust layout, colors, texts, and buttons to match your brand and choose how choices are displayed.
137
138 ### How can I check my cookie scan results or repeat them? ###
139
140 Go to the Cookiebot Admin to view scan results. You can also trigger a new scan there whenever you update tags, plugins, or embeds.
141
142 ### Why am I being offered a trial? ###
143
144 The trial lets you experience the product before deciding. If you’re not ready to upgrade after the trial, you can continue on the Free plan.
145
146 ### Can I switch to a different legal framework? ###
147
148 Yes. The Cookiebot by Usercentrics plugin for WordPress supports multiple legal frameworks by allowing you to set up separate banner configurations for different regions or countries.
149
150 To do this, enable “Multiple Configurations” under the Multiple Configurations tab in the Cookiebot plugin settings, then add banner configurations for the specific regions you want to support.
151
152 This setup uses separate Domain Groups for each configuration and the data-georegions attribute in the Cookiebot script to display the correct banner based on the visitor’s location — for example, one for GDPR and another for CCPA/CPRA. You can run multiple configurations, as long as only your primary Domain Group contains your actual domain.
153
154 ### What is Google Consent Mode and how can I use it with Cookiebot? ###
155
156 Consent Mode lets Google tags adapt to each visitor’s choice. Cookiebot sends that consent status automatically, so conversions from consenting users are tracked as usual, and non-consenting visits are handled in a privacy-safe way to reduce data gaps in your reports. Result: clearer conversion visibility and steadier campaign optimization, without custom code — just enable Consent Mode in the Cookiebot Admin.
157
158 ### Does Cookiebot integrate with the WP Consent API? ###
159
160 Usercentrics Cookiebot is fully integrated with the WP Consent API. When your visitors give consent using Usercentrics Cookiebot, the consent will automatically be sent to the [WP Consent API](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-consent-api/).
161
162
163 ## Changelog ##
164 **Cookiebot by Usercentrics Plugin will soon no longer support PHP 5. If your website still runs on this version we recommend upgrading so you can continue enjoying the features Cookiebot by Usercentrics offers.**
