CookieFox – Cookie Notice Plugin

CookieFox helps you to make your WordPress site compliant with privacy laws such as GDPR by providing an easy-to-use and customizable cookie notice. It is optimized for performance and to have a minimal impact on loading times.

Key Features

• The cookie notice can either be displayed as a modal or a banner on the bottom of the viewport.

• Two consent types available: Simple consent offers a general accept/deny option. Category consent offers separate consent by cookie categories.

• Basic design customizations (fonts, colors, …) are available in the admin settings. Advanced customizations are possible through the use of CSS variables or by providing a custom stylesheet.

• All texts and buttons can be customized to fit your requirements.

• Configured scripts and services can be executed when a user accepts or rejects the use of cookies.

• Multi-Language Support: Use WPML or Polylang to easily translate your privacy notice.

• Block Auto-Embedding: Optionally, you can prevent external content from being automatically embedded. The content will be embedded when accepting the privacy notice.

Performance

• Javascript: There’s just one 11kb (gzip) Javascript file. No dependencies. No jQuery.
• CSS: You can either use an external CSS file (2.5kb, gzip), inline all styles, or provide a custom stylesheet.
• HTML: CookieFox just injects only a single \<div> tag in the wp_footer hook. It is used as a root tag for initiating the script.
