ConsentPress — GDPR/CCPA Cookie Consent & GTM Consent Mode for WordPress
A lightweight, professional cookie consent solution for WordPress that pairs a great user experience with serious compliance. ConsentPress ships with native Google Consent Mode v2 (no GTM triggers needed), smart script blocking for non-Google vendors, and privacy-first consent logs—so you can deploy fast and stay future-ready.
Why ConsentPress
- Compliant by design: GDPR/CCPA/ePrivacy aligned with explicit opt-in and clear categories.
- Works with (and without) GTM: Default “denied” before GTM loads, instant updates after choice—no custom GTM triggers required.
- Blocks what should be blocked: Built-in Script Manager templates for popular vendors; custom rules for anything else.
- Privacy-first logging: IP anonymization + hashed UA by default, retention controls, CSV export.
- Hybrid cookie catalog: Auto-scan the browser + enrich with open vendor data; store definitions as editable JSON.
- Clean UI, flexible design: Positions, layouts, typography, and button styles that fit any theme.

FAQs
Can I customize the banner?
Absolutely. Choose position (top, bottom, center, corner), layout (full, centered, compact, minimal), fonts, button styles/radius, and accent color. You can also edit labels, add a Learn More link, and inject custom CSS—plus preview changes live in the admin.
Will it still work when third-party cookies are restricted?
Yes. ConsentPress doesn’t rely on third-party cookies to show the banner or manage preferences. It uses Google Consent Mode v2 signals and can gate/auto-block embeds and scripts based on user choices—useful even as browsers phase out third-party cookies.
Where is my data stored? Is it self-hosted?
ConsentPress is fully self-hosted. Consent logs are saved in your WordPress database (or an external DB you control). No vendor cloud is required, and you can export logs to CSV anytime.
Do I need to enable Google Consent Mode in GTM?
Yes—ConsentPress sends Consent Mode v2 signals automatically, but you should load GTM through ConsentPress → Pixels & GTM (enter your GTM ID). No custom triggers are required. GA4/Google Ads will honor the consent updates (analytics/ad_storage, etc.) that ConsentPress pushes when a visitor accepts or rejects.
