Answer

Does this make my site legally compliant?

Updated Cookie Consent 1.6.0Tested with WordPress 7.1

No. Cookie Consent cannot make a site compliant, and no plugin can promise that: it does the technical half properly, and the rest depends on your site.

The technical half is what the plugin handles:

  • analytics and advertising tags are held back until a visitor agrees, not just asked about;
  • Accept and Reject are the same size, nothing is pre-ticked, and scrolling counts as agreement only if you switch on Treat scrolling as agreement;
  • a browser that sends Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track is taken as a refusal, by default;
  • every answer is recorded with a random reference, the date and what was agreed, so you can show what was answered.

The other half is yours: what your site collects, where your visitors are and what your privacy policy says. [cookie_list] puts the list of cookies on your policy page, but the plugin cannot write the policy. If you are unsure, ask somebody qualified.

Cookie Consent

Ask before you set a cookie, and actually hold the scripts back until somebody says yes.
