ONiDEA Consenso Cookie Conforme Italia Wordpress Plugin - Rating, Reviews, Demo & Download
Plugin Description
ONiDEA Consenso Cookie Conforme Italia is a free, self-hosted alternative to subscription services like CookieYes or Cookiebot, covering the essential cookie consent features for WordPress sites:
- Consent banner with “Accept all” / “Reject all” buttons of equal visual prominence (as required by the Italian Data Protection Authority’s — Garante Privacy — guidelines) plus a “Customize” option.
- Preferences panel with categories: Necessary (always on), Statistics, Marketing, Functional — enabled individually per site.
- Automatic blocking of scripts marked as non-essential until the user gives consent.
- Google Consent Mode v2: sets consent signals for Google Analytics 4 / Google Ads / AdSense before their scripts load, so they automatically honor the user’s choice (only needs enabling where relevant).
- Server-side consent log (date, chosen categories, page, hashed IP — never stored in the clear) for the accountability record required by the GDPR, with CSV export.
- Engine built on the open-source “CookieConsent” library by Orest Bida (MIT license), served from your own site: no third-party calls, no subscription fee.
What it does NOT do (unlike paid services)
- No automatic recurring scan of the site’s cookies: categories and the scripts to block are configured manually (see GUIDA-RAPIDA.md, in Italian, in the plugin folder).
- Not IAB TCF certified: suited to Google AdSense/Ads/GA4 (via Consent Mode) and to the general run of editorial/business/e-commerce sites, not to publishers selling ad inventory through multiple ad exchanges/SSPs that require IAB certification.
- Does not provide legal privacy/cookie policy text: that remains your responsibility or your legal counsel’s.
Included features
Every feature of the plugin — banner, categories, script blocking, Google Consent Mode v2, proof-of-consent log with CSV export, and the Dashboard with consent reporting/trends (accepted/rejected/partial breakdown, last-7-days chart) — is included and active for anyone who installs the plugin, with no distinctions. The “Powered by ONiDEA adv” credit at the bottom of the banner is disabled by default and can be turned on by anyone from Settings.
Any future premium extensions (if and when they arrive) will be a separate, independently distributed add-on — never functionality hidden inside this same package.
Credits and licenses
The banner engine is the open-source CookieConsent library by Orest Bida (https://github.com/orestbida/cookieconsent), released under the MIT license — fully compatible with this plugin’s GPLv2+ license. The library’s code is bundled unmodified in assets/js/cookieconsent.umd.js and assets/css/cookieconsent*.css; the original MIT license text is available at the repository above.
Plugin developed and maintained by ONiDEA adv, a web agency based in Milan, Italy.
