Overview

The WP Consent API plugin is designed to streamline compliance with privacy laws by standardizing the communication of accepted consent categories among various WordPress plugins. Requiring a cookie banner plugin and at least one other supporting plugin, WP Consent API enables all participating plugins to utilize consistent methods to read and register current consent categories. This coordination enhances the functionality of consent management plugins and supports the seamless integration of plugins that set cookies or track user data. By facilitating this interoperability, WP Consent API improves website compliance and allows plugins to interact effectively without manual configuration. However, the plugin itself does not handle consent but rather, enhances the communication framework between consent management solutions and other plugins.

Standardized Communication

  • Allows all supporting plugins to use the same set of methods to read and register the current consent category.
  • Facilitates smooth communication between cookie banner plugins and plugins that set cookies or track user data.
  • Improves compliance with privacy laws by ensuring consistent consent management.

Enhanced Compliance

  • Helps ensure that all plugins adhere to privacy regulations by standardizing consent management.
  • Provides a mechanism to check and register consent categories, improving overall site compliance.
  • Shows how many plugins lack Consent API support, helping site owners address compliance gaps.

Prevents Site Breakage

  • Addresses issues where blocking third-party services can break the site.
  • Ensures that consent management plugins can handle PHP cookies and client-side tracking codes effectively.
  • Reduces the risk of site functionality being disrupted by consent management actions.

Flexible Integration

  • Supports integration with various consent management providers like Complianz GDPR/CCPA, Cookiebot, and GDPR Cookie Compliance.
  • Allows plugins to dynamically manipulate consent types and set cookie categories.
  • Provides hooks and filters for plugins to listen for changes and extend functionality.
