Use our cookie scanner to identify, list, and define all cookies your website uses. Our CMP then creates a custom cookie consent banner and cookie policy for you to easily add to your website.

This Cookie Consent Banner is actively developed, tested, and maintained by a team of engineers, designers, and data privacy attorneys. Termly’s cookie banner and consent solutions receive consistently positive reviews in the industry — from small companies and budding startups to web development agencies, legal offices, and larger enterprises.

FAQ

Where can I learn more about this plugin?

To learn more about how this plugin works, visit the support page.

How does Termly’s plugin help with data privacy legislation compliance?

Laws like the GDPR, UK GDPR, ePrivacy Directive, and UK’s Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations have strict requirements about how websites can use cookies. Termly’s plugin can help you comply with cookie consent requirements, including scanning your site for cookies, gathering user consent, creating a cookie preference center, and more.

Where can I find out more about the EU and UK laws regarding the use of cookies?

You can find more details about EU and UK regulations like the Cookie Law on the European Commission’s site, and the UK’s PECR on the Information Commissioner’s Office site. For information about how the GDPR affects your website, visit Termly’s GDPR guide.

Is the consent banner customizable?

Yes, you can customize your consent banner to match the look and feel of your website. Edit the colors, theme, text, font, display style, and position using our banner settings editor.

Do visitors need to consent to cookies to use my site?

If you choose to display your consent banner as a top or bottom bar, or as a left- or right-side tooltip, users will be able to continue using your site without interacting with the consent banner. You can also set your banner to disappear when a user scrolls (scroll to consent function). However, if you choose to display your consent notification as a full-screen modal, users will need to interact with the notice before continuing to use your site.

Will cookies on my site be blocked until a user gives consent to their use?

Yes, if you enable auto-blocking through the plugin, non-essential cookies will be blocked until your site’s visitors have consented to your use of cookies. To learn more about setting up and customizing auto-blocking, read our developer’s guide.

Is GDPR Cookie Consent Banner free?

The base version of GDPR Cookie Consent Banner is free and includes all of the basic plugin features.

The free plan has a 10,000 monthly unique visitor limit to your consent banner. When that limit has been reached, your banner will be deactivated until the following month. Consider upgrading to a paid plan to unlock additional monthly visitors and access even more features on your consent banner. Visit our pricing page for more information.

Enables a bot

rospapergirl August 11, 2023

This dreadful plugin has enabled a bot in robots.txt file. It’s only by searching for the user agent name that I found out in a Wordpress thread that this could be the culprit. Take my advice, delete the files in the database and use another Cookie plugin.

Used to work

ksnakew June 4, 2023

Used to work but today I had discovered that is not anymore and demands API key and payment.

Furious – it stopped working months ago

cywo March 25, 2023 1 reply

This plugin apparently stopped working months ago – which is bad. But worse – we don’t recall seeing any warning or communication. For months we were relying on a plugin that turned itself off. And of course – we don’t notice because we are not new users. The new free version doesn’t meet our needs and is convoluted – so we have to select and install an alternative.
