How do I add cookie consent in WordPress?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 12:08 am

Cookie consent is a common requirement on websites, as it allows websites to keep track of users’ browsing habits. This can be useful for Targeted advertising, or for keeping track of user preferences.

Adding cookie consent in WordPress is easy. Simply go to the Settings page, and under the General tab, click on the Privacy section. Here, you’ll find a list of all the cookies that WordPress will allow.

PRO TIP: Adding cookie consent to your WordPress website is easy, but there are a few things you need to be aware of before you do so. First, you need to make sure that your website complies with the law. Cookie consent is required by law in some countries, including the European Union. If you do not add cookie consent to your WordPress website, you may be subject to fines.

Second, you need to be aware of how cookies are used on your website. Cookies are small pieces of data that are stored on your computer when you visit a website. They are used to track your browsing activity and can be used to target ads at you. If you do not want cookies to be used on your website, you will need to disable them in your browser settings.

Third, you need to choose a plugin or service that provides cookie consent. There are many plugins and services available, but not all of them are created equal. You should read reviews and compare features before choosing a plugin or service.

Fourth, you need to configure the plugin or service you choose. This includes specifying which cookies should be allowed and which should be blocked. You also need to specify how users will be notified about the use of cookies on your website.

Finally

To add a new cookie, click the button next to the cookie you want to add, and then enter the details of the cookie. WordPress will then ask you to confirm that you want to allow WordPress to set the cookie.

Once you’ve added the cookie consent, you can restart WordPress to make the changes take effect.
