Cookie Plus - GDPR Cookie Consent Solution for WordPress 1.6.3

Cookie Plus is a premium WordPress plugin (developed by abcFolio on CodeCanyon) specifically designed to automate GDPR compliance. Its standout feature is its ability to automatically block all non-essential scripts (like Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and even WooCommerce cookies) before a user gives explicit consent.1

Unlike simpler "notification" plugins that just show a banner, Cookie Plus prevents data from being collected in the first place, which is a core requirement of strict GDPR laws.

🚀 Key Features

Automatic Script Blocking: It intercepts and stops tracking scripts from loading until the "Accept" button is clicked.2

Cookie Categories: You can group cookies into 5 distinct categories (e.g., Necessary, Analytics, Social Media) so users can selectively choose what to allow.3

Geo-Detection: You can configure the popup to only show to visitors from the European Union (or specific countries), keeping the experience clean for non-EU users.4

Consent Logs: Maintains a backend database of user consents, including timestamps and anonymized IPs, which is vital for legal audits.5

3 Presentation Modes:

Tabs: Detailed view with descriptions for each category.

Compact: A simple, non-intrusive bar.

Full Overlay: Blocks the entire site until a choice is made (best for high-compliance needs).

🛠️ How to Set It Up (Quick Start)

Installation: Upload the plugin zip to your WordPress dashboard.

Select Blocking Method: Choose between "Block All" (strictest) or "Block by Groups" (granular).6

Define Your Cookies: Go to the "Cookie Manager" settings and assign your scripts (like your GA4 tag or Pixel ID) to their respective categories.

Styling: Use the live previewer to match the popup colors and fonts to your brand.7

Enable Geo-Location: If you only want to target EU users, enter your license key to enable the Geo-Detection feature.

💰 Pricing & Licensing (2026 Status)

Regular License: Approximately $29 on CodeCanyon. This is a one-time payment for lifetime updates on a single site.
