It adds a customizable consent banner to your site, records what every visitor agreed to, and gives you the reporting you need to show it — all configurable from the WordPress admin, with no coding. The plugin supports **IAB TCF v2.3**, Google Consent Mode v2 and the IAB Global Privacy Platform (GPP), so it covers the EU/EEA and Switzerland, the United Kingdom, the United States (national and the California, Virginia, Colorado, Utah and Connecticut state sections), Canada, Türkiye, Brazil, South Africa, Japan, Australia, South Korea, Thailand and India. The admin interface is available in **41 languages**, including Turkish, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Russian, Japanese, Korean and Simplified Chinese. ### Features * **GDPR, CCPA and IAB TCF v2.3 support**: Attain compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and avoid fines. * **Simple integration, easy to use**: Show a consent notice to your visitors within minutes — the plugin injects the script for you, no manual code editing required. * **No vendor limits**: Manage both IAB and non-IAB vendors under the TCF v2.3 framework. * **Google Consent Mode v2**: Enabled automatically as soon as you select a browser- storage region, so your analytics and ads tags respect visitor choices. * **13 consent regions**: Apply the right rules per region, with United States Section Preferences for US National, California, Virginia, Colorado, Utah and Connecticut. * **Geo Preview**: See exactly how the consent message will appear to a visitor from a specific region, country, state and language before you publish. * **Cookie Manager**: Scan your site for cookies, classify them by storage type( HTTP cookie, local storage, session storage, tracking pixel) and import or export them as JSON. * **Consent Logs**: A sortable, paginated record of the consent choices made on your site, exportable as CSV as proof of consent. * **Collect consent on any device**: Our compliance solution extends to all customer- oriented enterprises, encompassing brands, websites, applications, and blogs. * **Advanced reporting**: Comprehensive insights into how visitors interact with consent messages, for in-depth analysis of your consent rates. * **Privacy-conscious by design**: Your API key is stored encrypted and never sent to the browser — all calls to the FlexyConsent API go through a server-side proxy. #### User Guide After activating FlexyConsent plugin, it will appear in the WordPress Admin Menu. Then, click it and you will be redirected to start page. Just click the continue button int this page. You don’t need to enter any information. After that you will see FlexyConsent Dashboard. This dashboard is designed for representing statistical data about the registered web pages. All these data provide statistics of how effectively FlexyConsent works with the web pages by collecting the number of visits, page views etc. In addition, It mainly consists of 3 buttons; Website Settings, User Settings and Subscription. ** Website Settings ** This button is used to create a configuration set for web pages. A user can do the following: * Add websites to the “Domains” field to specify on which sites the plugin will work. * You should Cookie Policy and Privacy Policy URLs to the related fields. * Check the “Consent Management Enabled” checkbox to decide whether the plugin will work or not on the web pages. * Check “GDPR Applies Globally” checkbox to enable GDPR compliance globally. ** User Settings ** * The button represents basic information about the user and invoice. * Users can enter and change their email address with another that is not used actively in the plugin. * Users can close their accounts, * Users can update their user information and invoice details by using the “Update user info” button. ** Subscription ** * When the plugin is installed for a website, a free subscription (which might take up to 10% of ad impressions placed only by FlexyConsent after 3 months) is assigned to it. * Users can upgrade or downgrade their subscription with one of the subscription plans. * For plan upgrades the process is immediate and if the user has an existing plan a discount is applied for the first payment. * For plan downgrades, the process completes at the end of the current period and the new plan becomes active for the following periods. ** Cookie Manager ** * The Cookie Manager is a feature that scans your website for cookies and provides a list of cookies found on your site. * It allows you to manage cookies, view their details, and add new cookies as needed. * Adding cookies is done by clicking the “Add Cookie” button, which opens a modal where you can enter the cookie name, description, type, and other relevant information. ### 3rd Party Services Our plugin uses flexyconsent.com services (https://flexyconsent.com/rest/) * to display consent screen and store consent states of website visitors * use vendor databases from Internet Advertising Bureau and Google Inc * to decode and encode TCF Consent strings ### Service Terms and Privacy Policies * [Terms of Service](https://flexyconsent.com/terms-of-use) * [Privacy Policy](https://flexyconsent.com/privacy-policy) ### Bundled Libraries The plugin ships these open-source libraries inside its own folders and loads no code, styles or data from a public CDN.

A CMP, Consent Management Platform, is a tool used by websites to manage permissions for collecting and processing data from visitors. It informs visitors about data usage and obtains necessary permissions. IAB-approved CMPs facilitate the collection and processing of personal data in compliance with Transparency and Consent Framework( TCF) standards. ### What is TCF and why is it important? The Transparency and Consent Framework is a standard used in the digital advertising industry to comply with data protection laws in Europe. This framework provides internet users with more transparency and control over the digital advertising ecosystem. ### What are the advantages of using an IAB-approved CMP? An IAB-approved CMP manages data collection and processing processes in compliance with TCF standards. This is important to protect user privacy rights and ensure advertisers comply with legal requirements. Additionally, it provides the advantage of adhering to a trusted industry standard. ### Why should I, as a website owner, use an IAB-approved CMP? Using an IAB-approved CMP ensures compliance with data protection laws in Europe and helps you better manage your visitors’ privacy preferences. It also provides a reliable solution for regulating your relationships with advertisers. ### Can I turn off your plugin at any time? Yes. There is no commitment that binds you to FlexyConsent. From the dashboard, you can turn it on/off at any time. ### How can I follow up on stats? We provide you with a dashboard to follow up on your stats. ### How can I contact you?

Consent states are translated and colour-coded correctly. * Consent Logs: a “Load more” button fetches older decisions 40 at a time. A failed refresh or load no longer empties the table or hides the button; you see an error message instead. The CSV export has translated headings and is protected against spreadsheet formula injection. * Dashboard: new “Decisions by source” card (decisions, accepts, rejects, partial accepts and accept rate per source), also included in the dashboard CSV export. * Dashboard: new “Consent by region” table with the consent outcomes per country and US state for the selected dates, with country names in your admin language. Countries with only a few visitors are grouped as “Other”, so no single visitor can be identified. * Dashboard: the date-range presets and the Apply, Cancel and Custom Range buttons are translated, and the CSV export names each group instead of printing internal keys. * New Privacy requests tool: when a visitor asks what you hold about them, or asks you to delete it, look up their record by the key stored in their browser, download it as JSON, or erase it. Your daily reports keep their numbers. * New Cookie policy text: a cookie section built from what the scanner actually found on your site, listing each cookie with its provider, purpose and retention, ready to copy into your cookie policy page. * New banner wording editor: replace the banner heading and description with your own words, or leave them empty to keep our wording, translated into every language. * New banner experiments: show a version B of the banner heading or description to a share of your visitors, and read the results (completion rate per version, and whether one is ahead) in the plugin. * Website Settings: the Consent & Privacy tab is redesigned, with collapsible sections, region cards, a tab per US state, a Configure dialog that turns whole feature groups on or off, and a world Coverage Map shading every region you cover. The map’s libraries ship with the plugin; nothing is loaded from a third-party CDN. * Website Settings: new options for a monthly scan report e-mail (off by default), a placeholder with a one-click allow where a blocked video or embed would be ( on by default), a visitor display-preferences button for text size, contrast, motion and font (off by default), and hiding embeds again when a visitor withdraws consent mid-visit (off by default). * Website Settings: the page now says that saved changes appear on your site within a few minutes. * Fixed connecting a brand-new install, which failed with “Unknown error: Can not encode NULL or empty byte array.” * Fixed the messages explaining why an account cannot be closed, which showed raw[ endDate], [projectNames] and [serviceNames] placeholders in every language. The values sent by the server are now filled in, escaped, next to the link to the page where you can change them. * Translations: every string is translated in all 42 bundled languages, including everything new in this release. * The readme lists the open-source libraries the plugin bundles, with their licences. #### 1.5.1 * Subscriptions: fixed an error that left the page blank when the subscription list failed to load, and a crash when an over-limit subscription had no assigned website. * Cookie Manager: the scanner status, cookie details and edit dialogs now show a proper error message instead of appearing to hang when a request fails. * Cookie Manager: cookie names, descriptions and other fields are now HTML-escaped everywhere they are displayed, so a cookie discovered by the scanner cannot inject markup into the admin screen. * Cookie Manager: fixed the “Start Scan” and “View Status” buttons reverting their loading state before the request finished. * Fixed an empty accessibility label on the Cookie Manager domain and language selectors. * Housekeeping: removed dead code, corrected an admin redirect helper, and hardened the payment page against direct access. #### 1.5.0 * IAB TCF support updated to **v2.3**. * Fixed 26 of the 42 bundled translations, which never loaded because their files used locale codes WordPress does not recognise (for example ja_JA instead of ja, ko_KO instead of ko_KR, zh_ZH instead of zh_CN, pt_br instead of pt_BR). Turkish, German, French, Spanish, Italian and ten other locales were unaffected. * Completed every bundled translation. The 184 strings added by the Cookie Manager, Consent Logs, Geo Preview and tabbed settings screens were previously shown in English in all languages; all 41 languages WordPress can load are now fully translated. * Rebuilt the translation template (flexyconsent.pot) from the current source, so external translators see the real string set. It had last been generated before the 1.2.0 interface changes. * The download no longer contains the 42 .po translation sources, which WordPress never reads — about 2.7 MB smaller. The compiled .mo files and flexyconsent.pot still ship. * Bundled translations now act as a per-string fallback behind translations from translate.wordpress.org, instead of being ignored entirely as soon as one exists there. Previously the first community-translated string would have switched the whole bundled catalogue off, reverting every other string to English. * Lowered the WordPress requirement to 5.9, so sites that were held back from the 1.2.0 security fixes by a stricter requirement can now update. The oldest WordPress API the plugin actually calls dates from 4.7. * Updated the plugin description and tested-up-to version. #### 1.4.0 * Reorganised the Website Settings page into tabs — General, Consent & Privacy, Layout Properties and Geo Preview — matching the FlexyConsent web panel. All settings still save together with one Save button. #### 1.3.2 * Fixed checkboxes on the settings pages appearing blank when ticked (a white checkmark on a white background, caused by a conflict with WordPress admin styles). Checked boxes now show a clear blue box with a checkmark. #### 1.3.1 * Fixed the plugin disconnecting itself (account information lost, returning to the Welcome screen) after visiting an admin page. The account identifier was being wiped because it was validated as an e-mail address, which it is not for WordPress accounts. * Fixed a related issue where the stored API key could be dropped when the settings were re-saved. * Fixed sign-up being blocked on a brand-new install: the connection request was refused because the site was not yet connected. #### 1.3.0 * Added Geo Preview to Website Settings: see how the consent message appears to a visitor from a specific region, country, US state and language, based on your current settings. #### 1.2.1 * Fixed the settings preview not refreshing when you change an option (it tried to reload a cross-origin frame). * The Website Settings page no longer stops setting up its controls when an account has an unusual project shape (missing subscription or consent-mode data), which could leave some checkboxes unresponsive. #### 1.2.0 * Websites: cookie and privacy policy links are now set per domain instead of once for the whole account, so sites with several domains can point each one at its own policies. * Added a Consent Logs page: sortable, paginated, with CSV export. * Cookie Manager: added Storage Type (HTTP cookie, local storage, session storage, tracking pixel) and import/export of cookies as JSON. * Dashboard: added CSV export of the statistics currently on screen. * Consent: IAB TCF now covers all 13 regions (adds Türkiye, Brazil, South Africa, Japan, Switzerland, Australia, South Korea, Thailand and India), up from 4. * Consent: added browser storage consent, with per-region control over when visitors are asked before data is stored in their browser. * Consent: added United States Section Preferences for US National, California, Virginia, Colorado, Utah and Connecticut, plus an “apply US National to all states” shortcut. * Consent: Google Consent Mode is now enabled automatically whenever a browser storage region is selected, instead of being a separate switch. “Wait for update” now defaults to 1000ms. * Design: added banner theme (19 presets), banner position, custom icon and an allow-page-interaction option. Theme, logo, icon and position are no longer hidden behind “Enable customization”. * Added “Show Reject all on the first layer” and “Hide empty cookie categories”. * Security: the API key is no longer sent to the browser. All calls to the FlexyConsent API now go through a server-side proxy, and the key is stored encrypted. * Security: the API key and account email were previously readable on every wp- admin page by any logged-in user, including Subscribers. Fixed. * Security: the settings REST endpoint now accepts only known keys and validates every value. The front-end script URL is restricted to flexyconsent.com. * Removed the loader that was installed into wp-content/mu-plugins. It hardcoded the plugin folder name, so renaming the folder caused a site-wide fatal error that could not be cleared from the admin. Existing installs are cleaned up automatically on upgrade. * Fixed the settings registration, which sanitized an array with sanitize_text_field() and so discarded saved settings. * Requires PHP 7.4. Fixed a call to str_starts_with() that fataled on PHP below 8.0. * Translations now load on init, avoiding the WordPress 6.7 notice about early loading. * Admin page templates are no longer loaded on front-end requests. * Updated Bootstrap to 5.3.3 and removed unused vendor files, reducing the plugin by about 6.4 MB. * Added uninstall cleanup so deleting the plugin removes its options. #### 1.1 * Added Cookie Manager #### 1.0 * Initial version ## Meta * Version **1.6.0** * Last updated **3 roj ago** * Active installations **10+** * WordPress version ** 5.9 or higher ** * Tested up to **7.1.2** * PHP version ** 7.4 or higher ** * Language * [English (US)](https://wordpress.org/plugins/flexyconsent/) * Tags * [consent](https://kmr.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/consent/)[consent management](https://kmr.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/consent-management/) [cookie](https://kmr.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/cookie/)[GDPR](https://kmr.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/gdpr/) [privacy](https://kmr.wordpress.org/plugins/tags/privacy/) * [Advanced View](https://kmr.wordpress.org/plugins/flexyconsent/advanced/) ## Ratings No reviews have been submitted yet.
