This plugin is designed to help you prepare your website for the GDPR regulations related to cookies but IT WILL NOT MAKE IT FULLY COMPLIANT – this plugin is just a template and needs to be setup by your developer in order to work properly.

Once installed, the plugin gives you a template that you can customize; you can modify all text and colours to suit your needs.

You can also allow users to enable and disable cookies on your site, however, this will require bespoke development work as every site is unique and uses different cookies.

The plugin creates a page where users can request access to their personal data, stored on your website. You can find this page in the list of WordPress pages. In the backend you’ll get an overview of the requests users send and you can see which plugins collect personal data and need a ‘ask for approval’ checkbox.

Users who ask to view their personal data will get an email with a unique url on which they can view, update and download their comments and ask for a removal per comment. When they ask for a removal, the admin has the ability to delete the comment through the wp-gdpr backend. All emails will be sent automatically.

This plugin helps your website to comply with GDPR cookie regulations by asking every visitors to accept or decline cookies. If visitor choose to decline, than the tracking codes (Google Anayltics, Facebook Pixel) are not loading. If visitor accepts cookies, than the tracking codes (Google Anayltics, Facebook Pixel) are loading. So visitors can choose to be tracked or not, before they visit any page of the website. They even can change their minds and set again the cookies.
