WP Consent Configuration

This guide provides a step-by-step process to set up WP Consent, an efficient cookie notice plugin for WordPress. The process involves automatic scanning for services and cookies, customizing the appearance of your cookie banner, and configuring additional settings for effective cookie compliance.

Step 1

Begin by setting up WP Consent, the leading cookie notice plugin for WordPress. Upon initiation, WP Consent automatically scans your website to identify specific services and cookies.

Step 2

Here, you will find a detailed report of the specific services detected. Click on "Automatically Configure Cookies," and WP Consent will collect the necessary data. Proceed to the "Cookie Banner" section to customize its appearance. Enable preview mode to view changes in real-time.

Step 3

Choose your preferred banner style: long banner, floating banner, or modal banner. Opt for the long banner and position it at the bottom. Navigate to "Style" to adjust colors and to "Content" to edit the text in the cookie banner.

Step 4

Once satisfied, save your changes and disable preview mode. Return to the WP Consent dashboard, where automatic script blocking is enabled. Explore additional settings like Google Consent Mode, view cookie category details, and create a cookie page, which WP Consent facilitates automatically.

Step 5

WP Consent also enables consent logs and daily auto-scanning. Save your settings and revisit the WP Consent dashboard to review cookie policy configurations.

Step 6

Having configured the necessary settings, you can create or modify a specific page and adjust any other settings. Execute a new website scan to identify new plugins or additional cookies.

Step 7

Review the report displaying services and cookies identified (e.g., three services and 17 cookies). With these configurations, your website is now compliant with cookie policies.
