CookieYes | GDPR Cookie Consent & Compliance Notice (CCPA Ready)

The CookieYes GDPR Cookie Consent & Compliance Notice plugin will assist you in making your website GDPR (RGPD, DSVGO) compliant. In addition to compliance with this GDPR WordPress plugin also supports cookie compliance in accordance with the LGPD of Brazil, CNIL of France, and California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) which is a state statute intended to enhance privacy rights and consumer protection for residents of California.

The plugin is one of the best WordPress GDPR compliance plugins as it comes with a host of features some of which are listed below.

Key Features

• The plugin will enable a WordPress cookie notice with Accept and Reject options. The cookies are not rendered by default and only upon user consent. (The cookie value will be set to ‘null’ by default; it takes a value ‘yes’ when the user clicks ‘Accept’ and ‘no’ upon ‘Reject’. Your developer can check this value to set a cookie accordingly.)

• The plugin allows single click automatic scanning and categorization of cookies.

• Lets you display the list of cookies on your cookie policy page by using a shortcode.

• This GDPR plugin adds a subtle cookie banner to your WordPress website either in the header or footer so you can show your compliance status regarding the new GDPR law.

• With the help of this WordPress GDPR plugin, you can fully customise the cookie notice style so it blends with your existing website: change the colours, fonts, styles, the position on the page and even how it behaves when you click “Accept”.

• You can choose to make the cookie notice bar disappear after a few seconds (completely configurable) or to accept on scroll.

• It also has a Cookie Audit module so you can easily show what cookies your site uses and display them neatly in a table on your Privacy & Cookies Policy page.

• The plugin can be configured to have a CCPA ‘Do Not Sell My Personal Information’ control to the cookie notice.

• Assists in compliance of CNIL – A french administrative regulatory body

• Helps in compliance with POPIA (Protection of Personal Information Act) – South Africa’s data protection law
