Everything runs on your own site: no external service, no account, no subscription. #### Consent banner * Tabbed banner — **Consent**, **Details** (a full cookie declaration) and **About** * Three layouts: centre popup, bottom bar or corner box * Four categories: Necessary (always on), Preferences, Statistics and Marketing— hide any category your site does not use * Equal-weight Accept all / Accept selected / Decline buttons * Floating cookie-settings button so visitors can change or withdraw consent at any time * Your own title, message, button labels, accent colour, text colour and logo ( or hide the logo row) * Keyboard accessible, mobile friendly, no jQuery on the front end #### Proof of consent * Every decision is logged: categories, date and time, page, policy version and IP address (anonymised by default) * Consent Logs screen with totals, a detailed table and CSV download * Works on page-cached sites (logging uses the WordPress REST API, not an expiring nonce) * Records of logged-in users are included in WordPress personal data exports and erasures #### Cookie Policy generator * Generates and publishes a Cookie Policy page from your business details, active categories and cookie lists * UK businesses get UK GDPR / PECR wording and an ICO complaint link * Publishing a new version asks visitors to consent again (optional) * Style the policy content — font, text and heading sizes, text, heading and link colours, table colours — or keep your theme’s style * `[matrixinn_gdpr_cookie_policy]` shortcode shows the always-current policy inside Elementor or any other page builder #### Google Consent Mode v2 * Denies all Google storage types by default at the top of ``, before your Google tags run * Updates `analytics_storage`, `ad_storage`, `ad_user_data`, `ad_personalization`,` functionality_storage` and `personalization_storage` from the visitor’s choice * Returning visitors’ choices are applied immediately on every page #### Blocking other scripts Mark any script with `type="text/plain" data-minn-category="statistics"` (or `preferences`/` marketing`) and it only runs after the visitor allows that category. #### Data subject requests * `[matrixinn_gdpr_export]` — visitors request a copy of their personal data * `[matrixinn_gdpr_erasure]` — visitors request deletion of their personal data Requests use WordPress core privacy tools: the visitor confirms by email and you process the request under **Tools Export / Erase Personal Data**. #### Support & documentation Setup guide and FAQs: [MatrixInn GDPR documentation](https://matrixinnsolutions.com/plugins/matrixinn-gdpr) Built by [MatrixInn Solutions](https://matrixinnsolutions.com), the software house behind the [MatrixInn Floating Buttons](https://wordpress.org/plugins/matrixinn-floating-buttons/) plugin and the WA Float WhatsApp button for Shopify. **Please note:** this plugin gives you the tools for cookie consent; it is not legal advice. How the law applies depends on your site, so review your cookie lists and policy wording, or ask a qualified adviser. ## Screenshots [⌊Consent banner — Consent tab⌉⌊Consent banner — Consent tab⌉[ Consent banner — Consent tab [⌊Details tab with the cookie declaration⌉⌊Details tab with the cookie declaration⌉[ Details tab with the cookie declaration [⌊Bottom bar layout⌉⌊Bottom bar layout⌉[ Bottom bar layout [⌊Admin — Appearance settings⌉⌊Admin — Appearance settings⌉[ Admin — Appearance settings [⌊Admin — Consent Logs⌉⌊Admin — Consent Logs⌉[ Admin — Consent Logs [⌊Admin — Cookie Policy generator⌉⌊Admin — Cookie Policy generator⌉[ Admin — Cookie Policy generator ## Installation 1. Install from **Plugins Add New** (search for “MatrixInn GDPR”), or upload the ` matrixinn-gdpr` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`. 2. Activate the plugin. 3. Go to **GDPR Compliance** in the admin menu. 4. Under **Cookie Categories**, list the cookies your site sets and untick categories you do not use. 5. Under **Cookie Policy**, enter your business details and click **Create Cookie Policy page**. 6. Optionally add `[matrixinn_gdpr_export]` and `[matrixinn_gdpr_erasure]` to your Privacy Policy page. ## FAQ ### Does it block Google Analytics before consent? With Google Consent Mode enabled (the default for new installs), Google tags start in “denied” mode and only store cookies after consent. For non-Google scripts, use` type="text/plain" data-minn-category="…"` as described above. ### Where is consent stored? The visitor’s choice is stored in their browser in a first-party cookie called ` minn_gdpr_consent` (365 days by default). A copy of each decision is stored in your database as proof of consent. ### Does it work with page caching? Yes. The banner and consent state are handled in the browser, and consent records are sent to the WordPress REST API, which is not cached. ### How do visitors change their choice later? With the floating cookie button in the bottom-left corner, or any link with the class `minn-gdpr-open` (or a link to `#cookie-settings`). ### I upgraded from 1.x — what happens to my settings? Your banner texts, button labels, logging, policy and business settings are kept, your accept-button colour becomes the new accent colour, and existing consent records and visitor choices remain valid. Only the banner design changes; review it under** Appearance**. ### My Cookie Policy page is built with Elementor. How do I keep it up to date? Page builders keep their own copy of the page, so the “Update Cookie Policy page” button cannot change it. Add a Shortcode widget with `[matrixinn_gdpr_cookie_policy]` instead — it always shows the current policy, using the styling from **Cookie Policy Page styling**. ### My site is behind Cloudflare or another proxy. Consent records use the connecting IP (`REMOTE_ADDR`). If your host does not pass the real visitor IP, use the `minn_gdpr_client_ip` filter to read your proxy’s header. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “MatrixInn GDPR & UK Compliance” is open source software.
