3rd. party services

When using the Conzent CMP Plugin you will communicate with our backend, where you will need to create an account. Its also here that you will make all layout, text and color changes. All your settings are placed in 2 seperate JSON files, that our script reads. That script uses your settings and configuration to handle the consent banner.
We do not send or recieve any personal information. the only thing we send is your domain name and the Website key that you enter in the plugin.
You can find our website here https://conzent.net and the privacy policy here: https://conzent.net/privacy/

We also make it easy for you to use Google Tag Manager. So the only thing you need to do is to copy the GTM-xxxxxx tag from your GTM Container and we insert the same script as Google would on your website. It cannot get any easier. Also we load GTM as soon as possible so that consent is secure.
For google see their website here https://tagmanager.google.com and their privacy policy here https://policies.google.com/privacy?gl=DK&hl=en-US

What does this plugin do?

This WordPress cookie plugin will:

• Add a cookie banner to the top/bottom of all pages on your website, notifying visitors that you have a clearly defined privacy and cookie policy.
• Allow you to record which cookies your site uses and neatly display a list of these cookies. You can add this list to your Privacy Policy page or Cookie Policy page using a shortcode.
  Note: If you connect your site to the Conzent web app, you have to replace the shortcode with an HTML code.

What is a cookie notice?

A cookie notice, also known as a cookie banner, is a message informing visitors about the site’s use of cookies. It typically explains what cookies are, why they are used, and how they affect user privacy. It often includes options for users to consent to or manage cookie preferences, ensuring compliance with privacy laws like the GDPR and CCPA. The goal is to provide transparency and allow users to make informed decisions about their data.

Do visitors now have to accept/refuse cookies in order to use websites?

No, Only the ‘Necessary’ cookies will be loaded until the user gives consent.

Does this plugin stop cookies from being stored?

Visitors can reject the category of cookies they don’t want to be installed. In such cases, all cookies in that category will be blocked for the user.

But if another plugin adds scripts or places a cookie, we have no control. We have no way of knowing what plugins you use or how they work, so blocking/deleting cookies on a WordPress website/blog might possibly/probably break your site. Larger websites with substantial budgets may well invest in such technology, but this plugin aims to help you provide a certain level of compliance without taking drastic action.

Does this plugin guarantee that I comply with GDPR?

This plugin can be used to comply with the cookie consent requirements of major data privacy laws such as the GDPR. However, you need to assess your website’s use of cookies to confirm that it aligns with GDPR guidelines. If you are seeking specialist legal advice regarding your website, we suggest that you consult a lawyer to understand how you can achieve full GDPR compliance.

What is GDPR?

GDPR, or the General Data Protection Regulation is a comprehensive data protection law in the EU aimed at safeguarding EU individuals’ privacy and regulating how organizations handle their personal data. It is also known as DatenSchutz-Grundverordnung or DSGVO in German.

What is CCPA?

CCPA is the California Consumer Privacy Act, a law granting California residents more control over their personal information held by businesses. Businesses must be transparent, offer opt-out options, and ensure data security.

What is GDPR cookie consent?

GDPR requires websites to obtain explicit consent from users before storing or accessing cookies on their devices. This is known as GDPR cookie consent.

GDPR mandates cookie consent because cookies allow websites to collect data and track users across multiple sessions. Since this impacts user privacy, consent is required before enabling cookies, especially non-essential cookies like analytics, advertisements, etc.

What is CCPA compliance?

CCPA Compliance refers to adherence to the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), a law designed to protect the privacy rights of California residents. It mandates that businesses handling the personal information of California residents provide certain rights and protections to those individuals. Compliance involves ensuring that businesses meet the CCPA’s requirements regarding data collection and processing.

Does the plugin block cookies before consent?

Non-essential cookies are automatically blocked until explicit consent is given by users. Essential or strictly necessary cookies are allowed by default to ensure site functionality.

Can I export or log user consent as per GDPR requirements?

Yes, you can export a log of all user cookie consent and preferences related to cookies. This helps meet GDPR compliance needs.

Can the plugin help me generate a GDPR-compliant cookie policy?

Yes, we provide an easy wizard to customize and generate a GDPR-compliant cookie policy based on your scanned site cookies.
