This isn’t the first consent form I’ve had on my sites, but this one definitely fits the bill better than the other. I like the fact that you can yes or know it and that’s it. I don’t know how many sites I have been put off of browsing just because there’s virtual war and peace to go through just to switch off the cookies. So thank you.

Why Website Owners Implement Global Privacy Control
GPC is the future of privacy signals. Get ahead of the curve.
California Law Requires GPC Compliance
The California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) requires businesses to treat GPC signals as valid opt-out requests for data sale/sharing. Ignoring GPC signals puts you at legal risk. WPConsent automatically detects and honors these signals.
Major Browsers Support GPC
Firefox, Brave, and DuckDuckGo have built-in GPC support. Privacy extensions like Privacy Badger add GPC to other browsers. Millions of users are already sending GPC signals. Is your site listening?
Better User Experience for Privacy-Conscious Visitors
Users who set GPC don't want to click through consent popups on every site. WPConsent detects their preference automatically and respects it without showing unnecessary dialogs, creating a seamless experience.
Document Compliance Automatically
When regulators ask how you handle GPC signals, you need documentation. WPConsent logs all GPC detections and how they were honored, giving you proof of compliance.

What our users say about us
4.8/5 on WordPress
This is an extremely well thought out and designed plugin for important functionality most of us probably don’t want to have to deal with. Easy to set up and flexible to make the cookie notice match your site design. I especially like how the plugin can analyze your site and determine which cookies are present...

I installed WPConsent hoping for a simple solution, and it delivered. The setup process was incredibly smooth and straightforward. I was up and running in minutes. What I appreciate most is the design; it looks very sleek and adds a level of professionalism to the site...
Richard
I was using a different and popular Cookie consent type plugin, but changed to WPConsent and was happy to see that my page speed became faster. That alone, plus the simple and tidy look of the consent banner made me switch to WPConsent...
Grant
This plugin is so simple to set up without the usual trial and error. Instructions on how to set this plugin up are easy to follow and looks great on the front end of the website too.

What is Global Privacy Control (GPC)?
GPC is a browser signal that tells websites a user doesn't want their personal information sold or shared. It's a standardized way for users to express privacy preferences once, rather than on every website.Which browsers support GPC?
Firefox, Brave, and DuckDuckGo have native GPC support. Users can add GPC to Chrome, Edge, and Safari via extensions.Is GPC compliance legally required?
Yes, in California. CPRA requires businesses to honor GPC signals as valid opt-out requests for data sale/sharing. Colorado's privacy law also recognizes GPC.How does WPConsent detect GPC?
WPConsent checks for the navigator.globalPrivacyControl JavaScript property on every page load.What happens when GPC is detected?
WPConsent treats the user as opted out of data sale/sharing. Data-sharing scripts are blocked, and the user's preference is logged without requiring any consent UI interaction.Does GPC replace cookie consent?
No. GPC specifically addresses data sale/sharing (CCPA/CPRA). You still need cookie consent for GDPR compliance. WPConsent handles both.Is my website fully compliant by using WPConsent?
WPConsent expressly disclaims all representations and warranties that WPConsent will comply with applicable data privacy laws and regulations. It is your sole responsibility to comply with applicable data privacy laws and regulations. WPConsent does not provide legal advice and you should consult legal counsel for advice on this topic.
