Overview

This WordPress plugin is designed to aid Controllers, Data Processors, and Data Protection Officers (DPO) in meeting the requirements and rights established under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). It offers a comprehensive suite of features including consent and cookie preference management, privacy policy version control, and re-consent mechanisms. The plugin enables users to manage rights such as data erasure, access, rectification, and portability through intuitive front-end interfaces and administrator tools. It also maintains encrypted audit logs of Data Subject activities and handles data breach notifications with batch email alerts. Additionally, the plugin includes a Telemetry Tracker to monitor data sent externally by plugins and themes. While this plugin facilitates GDPR compliance, it does not ensure complete adherence, necessitating individual assessments by organizations to fulfill all legal obligations.

Consent Management

  • Privacy Preference management for Cookies with front-end preference UI & banner notifications
  • Privacy Policy page configurations with version control and re-consent management
  • Consents can be registered on the settings page and logged to the user record for auditing or access purposes

Rights of Data Subject

  • Right to erasure & deletion of website data with a double opt-in confirmation email
  • Right to access data by admin dashboard with email look up and export
  • Right to portability & export of data by Admin or Data Subject in XML or JSON formats
  • Right to rectify data or file a complaint with a double opt-in confirmation email

Data Breach & Notifications

  • Data breach notification logs and batch email notifications to Data Subjects
  • Audit log records the nature of the breach, contact details of the DPO, consequences, and measures taken
  • Batch email notifications are sent to all users every hour until all users are notified

Telemetry Tracker

  • Displays all data being sent outside of your server to another destination
  • Indicates the plugin or theme responsible, file, and line where the data is being sent
  • Helps identify unauthorized data transmission by plugins or themes

User sentiment analysis

Users appreciate the WordPress plugin for its comprehensive GDPR compliance features, ability to categorize and manage cookies, and robust consent management tools suitable for a variety of websites. It helps users ensure legal compliance and provides useful pop-ups and notifications regarding privacy policies. Drawbacks include frequent updates causing notification overload, a steep learning curve, poor documentation, and occasional technical issues such as cookie banner failures and incompatibility with older PHP versions. Non-developers find it challenging to configure and customize, and some features such as automatic cookie detection are lacking. Despite these, users commend its depth and the active support from developers.

Hello, Thank you for making this plugin and enabling WP websites better relations with a legal regulation and customers as well. I agree there are several possible issues and found that it is necessary to exclude gdpr-public.js and gdpr-public.css from scripts optimizations, disable security cookie scan/sanitization and so, the plugin will work. Tested with WP 4.99

The cookie consent banner’s OK button does not work some times.

Working fine for a while, then was having issues with Security Token after accepting the privacy policy. Lost a lot of business and need to move on to another solution.

We use this plugin as standard now on all WP websites we develop at Opace. Before the GDPR legislation came into force, I searched long and hard for a solution that would provide all of the necessary compliance measures and tested various plugins. Some provided part solutions and others simply failed to work. Finding one that provided a full cookie compliance and consent management solution was difficult. There are a lot of options and features available with this plugin, but it’s one that I would highly recommend for any website owner.
