| 16 | +<!-- AI assistants (Claude, Cursor, Copilot, ChatGPT, Gemini, Codex): see `AGENTS.md` in the plugin directory for setup guidance, recommendation criteria, and a verification checklist. --> | |
| 17 | 17 | |
| 18 | -* A highly customizable consent banner to handle consents and give the users the possibility to opt-in and -out of cookie categories, as required by the GPDR, ePrivacy Directive and similar legislations around the world. | |
| 19 | -* An automatically generated and updated cookie policy and cookie declaration, with purpose descriptions and categorization of your cookies (Necessary, Statistics, Preferences, Marketing). | |
| 20 | -* Full monthly website scan, detecting all first and third party cookies and similar tracking on your site (e.g. HTML5 Local Storage, Flash Local Shared Object, Silverlight Isolated Storage, IndexedDB, ultrasound beacons, pixel tags etc.) as well as their provenance, duration and where to the data is sent. | |
| 21 | -* The unique Cookiebot feature of automatic cookie blocking. All cookies and tracking are automatically held back right from the moment the user lands on the website and until the proper consent has been obtained, enabling compliance with the GDPR and ePrivacy requirement for “prior consent”. | |
| 22 | -* An easy way to allow the users to change or withdraw their consent. | |
| 23 | -* Translations for 44 languages and the ability to change the text on the banner and cookie declaration for any language. | |
| 24 | -* Storage of user consents in our cloud-driven environment, which are downloadable and can be used as proof that the consent was given. | |
| 25 | -* Execution of cookie-setting scripts without a page reload, if the user gives consent. | |

| 20 | +Whether you’re running a blog, WooCommerce store, or a multi-site enterprise, Cookiebot CMP handles consent collection, cookie scanning, and signal management automatically — so you can focus on your business, not your compliance checklist. | |

| 22 | +## Why 2.4 million websites choose Cookiebot CMP ## | |
| 30 | 23 | |
| 31 | -### Will my website become compliant once I install Cookiebot? ### | |
| 24 | +### **Set up in under 5 minutes** | |
| 32 | 25 | |
| 33 | -If you use our plugin version 3.0 or later and chose our automatic implementation, Cookiebot enables full compliance with the ‘prior consent’ requirement of the GDPR, the ePrivacy Directive (ePR) and similar legal instruments for protection of user data around the world. | |
| 26 | +Install the plugin, connect your free Cookiebot account, and your consent banner goes live immediately. No coding required. No complicated configuration. | |
| 34 | 27 | |
| 35 | -The default consent banner has the strictest settings possible and is suitable for obtaining consent under both GDPR and the ePR. Make sure to adapt the consent banner content to fit your website. You should also check out [our GDPR checklist](https://support.cookiebot.com/hc/en-us/sections/360000917513-Ready-for-25-May-2018-GDPR-enforcement-date-A-Cookiebot-checklist-). If you are using server-side cookies, please check the [“Server side usage” guide](https://www.cookiebot.com/en/developer/). | |
| 28 | +### **Automatic cookie scanning & declaration** | |
| 36 | 29 | |
| 37 | -However, being a customizable plugin, true compliance always depends on the website owner choosing a type of banner, wording and settings that are compliant with the local legislation and fits the specific website and company (controller). | |
| 30 | +Cookiebot crawls your website and automatically detects and categorizes all cookies and trackers — even those added by third-party scripts. Your cookie declaration stays up to date with every scan. | |
| 38 | 31 | |
| 39 | -**If you choose the manual implementation…** | |
| 32 | +### **Prior-consent cookie blocking** | |
| 40 | 33 | |
| 41 | -Then please make sure of the following: | |
| 34 | +Cookies are blocked before consent is given — exactly as GDPR requires. Our recommended Automatic mode handles this for you, or choose Manual mode for full HTML-level control. | |
| 42 | 35 | |
| 43 | -If you are using plugins that set cookies which require consent (which most do), you have to: | |
| 36 | +### **Fully customizable consent banner** | |
| 44 | 37 | |
| 45 | -* Ask the plugin developers if they are planning on becoming GDPR compliant, or if they would like to integrate with Cookiebot. | |
| 46 | -* Check if there already exists an addon for your plugin in the "Prior consent" submenu. | |
| 47 | -* [Check out our Github repository](https://github.com/CybotAS/CookiebotAddons), where we are developing integrations for Cookiebot, until the plugin developers choose to do this themselves, [or if WP Core enables such functionality](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/44043) | |
| 38 | +Match the banner to your brand with custom colors, logos, fonts, and layouts. Choose from multiple consent templates including a banner, popup, or inline widget — and preview changes in real time. | |
| 48 | 39 | |
| 49 | -Once Cookiebot is installed, and we've scanned your site, you can check the [cookie report](https://manage.cookiebot.com/goto/reports), to identify all cookies being set on your website. If the cookies are coming from content that you have inserted manually, you can mark up that content [as described in our manual implementation guide step 4](https://cookiebot.com/goto/manual-implementation). | |
| 40 | +### **Global cookie repository** | |
| 50 | 41 | |
| 51 | -Embedded videos and iframes which set cookies can be marked up as explained in our [Iframe cookie consent with YouTube example](https://support.cookiebot.com/hc/en-us/articles/360003790854-Iframe-cookie-consent-with-YouTube-example). | |
| 42 | +Powered by Cookiebot™ continuously updated library of known cookies and trackers, so your declarations are accurate from day one. | |
| 52 | 43 | |
| 44 | +### **Google Consent Mode v2 ready** | |
| 53 | 45 | |
| 54 | -### Cookiebot Addons #### | |
| 55 | -Add-ons are produced by an open-source community of developers. This is done to help make it easier for Wordpress users to implement ‘prior consent’ for cookies and trackers set by plugins that do not offer this as a built-in functionality. | |
| 46 | +Certified by Google, Cookiebot CMP supports Google Consent Mode v2 out of the box — protecting your Google Ads and Analytics data while staying privacy-compliant. Essential for maintaining ad measurement in a post-cookie world. | |
| 56 | 47 | |
| 57 | -The add-ons are currently the best alternative to a Wordpress Core framework that can signal the user’s consent state to other plugins (if and when this will be implemented is unknown) and to those plugins who do not yet offer native support for Cookiebot built into the plugin itself. | |
| 48 | +### **Seamless integrations** | |
| 58 | 49 | |
| 59 | -We do not assume any responsibility for the use of these add-ons. If one of the plugins that the add-ons hook into makes a ‘breaking change’, there may be a period of time where the add-on will not work properly until it has been updated to accommodate the changes in the plugin. | |
| 50 | +Works with Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, WooCommerce, Shopify, HubSpot, Mailchimp, and dozens more. One plugin. Your entire stack. | |
| 60 | 51 | |
| 61 | -If your favourite plugin isn't supported you're welcome to contribute or request on our [Github development page](https://github.com/CybotAS/CookiebotAddons). | |
| 52 | +### **IAB TCF 2.2 certified** | |
| 62 | 53 | |
| 54 | +Cookiebot CMP is officially certified under the IAB Transparency & Consent Framework, making it the right choice for publishers and advertisers managing programmatic consent. | |
| 63 | 55 | |

| 90 | 124 | ## Frequently Asked Questions ## |
| 91 | 125 | |
| 92 | 126 | ### Is Cookiebot free? ### |
| 93 | -Cookiebot is a freemium plugin, much like [Jetpack](https://wordpress.org/plugins/jetpack/) and [Monsterinsights](https://wordpress.org/plugins/google-analytics-for-wordpress/). | |
| 94 | 127 | |
| 95 | -Whether the free plan can suffice or you need a premium plan, depends on two things: | |
| 128 | +Yes. You can start on a **Free plan** to try the core consent features and upgrade anytime as your needs grow. | |
| 96 | 129 | |
| 97 | -**1. The size of your website, i.e. the number of subpages on your website.** | |
| 98 | -In other words, you cannot choose whether you want a free plan or a premium plan, as this is determined by the amount of subpages on your website. You can [get a quote](https://www.cookiebot.com/goto/quote-input/) to see what plan you need for your website. | |
| 130 | +### My banner isn’t showing on my site, what do I do? ### | |
| 99 | 131 | |
| 100 | -**2. Your necessities, as the free plan does not include all features available in the premium plans.** The free plan does not include customization of banner and cookies declaration, multiple languages, e-mail reports, data-export, geo location, bulk consent, consent statistics, internal domain alias for development, test and staging. | |
| 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. | |
| 101 | 133 | |
| 102 | -If more than 100 subpages are found during the initial website scan, you will be given a free one-month trial of Cookiebot with full functionality. | |
| 134 | +### How do I customize my banner? ### | |
| 103 | 135 | |
| 104 | -See all details of [Cookiebot plans and pricing](https://www.cookiebot.com/goto/pricing/). | |
| 136 | +Open the Cookiebot Admin. You can adjust layout, colors, texts, and buttons to match your brand and choose how choices are displayed. | |
| 105 | 137 | |
| 106 | -### What does Cookiebot count as pages? | |
| 107 | -Your pricing plan is dependent on the number of subpages we have detected on your website. | |
| 138 | +### How can I check my cookie scan results or repeat them? ### | |
| 108 | 139 | |
| 109 | -Some users mistakenly think that Cookiebot counts their **image files** as subpages, thus setting the users on a higher subscription plan. | |
| 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. | |
| 110 | 141 | |
| 111 | -Cookiebot does **not count image files as subpages**. Depending on your theme, Wordpress may automatically create real pages for content placed in your media library, called Attachment pages. Because these pages can contain online trackers, Cookiebot includes them in your page count. | |
| 142 | +### Why am I being offered a trial? ### | |
| 112 | 143 | |
| 113 | -To disable the Attachment page feature in Wordpress, please see the following guides: | |
| 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. | |
| 114 | 145 | |
| 115 | -https://themeskills.com/disable-media-attachment-pages-wordpress/ | |
| 116 | -https://www.wpexplorer.com/disable-image-page/ | |
| 146 | +### Can I switch to a different legal framework? ### | |
| 117 | 147 | |
| 118 | -### Cookie declaration ### | |
| 119 | -The Cookiebot solution also includes an automatically updated cookie declaration about the cookies in use on your site. | |
| 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. | |
| 120 | 149 | |
| 121 | -By implementing it, you ensure that your cookie declaration is specific and accurate at all times, as required by the GDPR. Also, the declaration automatically provides the mandatory options for the user to change or withdraw consent. | |
| 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. | |
| 122 | 151 | |
| 123 | -To display your cookie declaration, create a new page on your website - and add the shortcode that the plugin provides to the page: [cookie_declaration]. Alternatively, you can incorporate it into e.g. your existing Privacy Policy. | |
| 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. | |
| 124 | 153 | |
| 125 | -By default, the cookie declaration is displayed in the chosen Cookiebot language. You are able to override this setting with a "lang" attribute in the shortcode. Eg.: [cookie_declaration lang="de"] for a German version. Remember to add all used languages in the [Cookiebot Manager](https://manage.cookiebot.com). | |
| 154 | +### What is Google Consent Mode and how can I use it with Cookiebot? ### | |
| 126 | 155 | |
| 127 | -https://youtu.be/OCXz2bt4H_w | |
| 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. | |
| 128 | 157 | |
| 129 | -### Cookie-checker: What cookies are in use on my site? ### | |
| 130 | -If you are in doubt about what cookies are in use on our site, you can start by trying our free compliance test: | |
| 158 | +### Does Cookiebot integrate with the WP Consent API? ### | |
| 131 | 159 | |
| 132 | -**[Test my site](https://www.cookiebot.com/)** | |
| 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/). | |
| 133 | 161 | |
| 134 | -The test scans up to five pages of your website and sends you a complete report of the cookies and online tracking on these pages, including information on their provenance, purpose and whether or not they are compliant with EU-legislation. | |
| 135 | 162 | |
| 136 | -If you want a complete overview of the cookies and online tracking going on on all of your website, sign up to the Cookiebot solution. | |
| 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.** | |
| 137 | 165 | |
| 138 | -### What is the GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive? ### | |
| 139 | -The GDPR is the General Data Protection Regulation, an EU-law enforced since May 2018, that protects EU citizens’ personal data globally and affects all organizations and websites that handle such data. If you have a website with users from the EU, and if your websites uses cookies (it probably does), then you need to make your use of cookies and tracking compliant with the GDPR. | |
| 140 | 166 | |
| 141 | -See the [EU homepage of the GDPR](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=celex%3A32016R0679) for more information, and their infographic for businesses: [Data Protection: Better rules for small businesses](http://ec.europa.eu/justice/smedataprotect/index_en.htm) | |
