Consent Warden Wordpress Plugin - Rating, Reviews, Demo & Download
Plugin Description
Consent Warden adds a clean, accessible cookie consent banner to your WordPress site. Visitors see a simple Accept button with an optional link to your privacy policy. Once accepted, the banner disappears and consent is remembered for up to a year.
Free edition features:
- Accept-only banner — no unnecessary complexity
- Three layout positions: bottom bar, bottom-left card, bottom-right card
- Customisable heading, message text, and button label
- Optional privacy policy link (URL and link text)
- Six colour options: background, text, link, accept button, button text, and hover
- Configurable consent expiry (1–3650 days, default 365)
- Fires a
cwarden:consentJavaScript event on accept — hook your own scripts to it - Accessible:
role="region"andaria-labelon the banner element - Zero external dependencies on the frontend
- Consent stored in a
cwarden_consentcookie withSameSite=Lax - No data sent to the server — consent stays on the visitor’s device
Upgrade to Standard or Pro for:
- Granular consent categories (Analytics, Marketing, Preferences) with per-category toggles
- Script blocking — prevent third-party scripts from loading until consent is given (soft dequeue and hard HTML rewrite)
- Google Consent Mode v2 integration (gtag / GTM)
- Full consent log — record and review visitor consent decisions
- Geo-targeting — show the banner only to visitors in targeted regions (EU, UK, US, Brazil, and custom country lists)
- Automatic cookie scanner — passively discover and categorise cookies set on your site
