  4. Does it work with my caching plugin?Yes, without configuration.
  5. My analytics numbers dropped after installing thisThey did, and the old ones were counting people who had not agreed to be counted.

  10. What exactly do you store about my visitors?One cookie on their device holding the date, which kinds of cookie they were asked about and which they agreed to, and a random reference.

  14. Will my visitors be asked again after I update?No, except on a network set up with sub-directories (see Does it work on multisite?).
  15. I have changed what we do with visitors' data. Can I ask everyone again?Yes: Settings → How it asks → Ask everybody again.
  16. Will it notice when a plugin adds a new tracker?Once a month it reads your pages again, and when it finds something new the Dashboard says what, with one button, Add what was found, that adds it to the banner and the cookie…
  17. Does it work with WP Consent API, Site Kit and WooCommerce?Yes.
  18. Does it work with Microsoft Advertising and Clarity?Yes.
  19. Can I copy my set-up to another site?Yes: Settings → Import / Export.
  20. Somebody said no and now wants to say yesThey press the Cookie choices button in the bottom corner of any page.
  21. Somebody took their agreement back. Are their cookies gone?From your site, yes.
  22. What happens to YouTube videos?They are held back too — a video on a page is a visit to YouTube, and YouTube sets cookies.
  23. Does it respect Do Not Track?Yes, and Global Privacy Control, which several places now treat as a legally valid refusal.
  24. Will it break my site?It only touches scripts belonging to services you have told it to hold back.
  25. Does it work on multisite?Yes.
