WPConsent 1.0.10 – Introducing Respect Global Privacy Controls + Shared Consent Features 

Cookie compliance headaches keeping you up at night?

WPConsent is here to help! And with the latest 1.0.10 version, it’s easier than ever to manage cookie on your WordPress sites.

This latest update introduces a game-changing Global Privacy Controls (GPC) support. With a click of a button, you can automatically respect GPC signals for a user’s browsers.

Plus, you can configure cookie consent in a way that’s shared between subdomains using WPConsent. This intelligent subdomain cookie sharing eliminates those annoying repeated consent banners once and for all.

Let’s look at the new feature in more detail.

Enable Respect Global Privacy Controls

Did you know that most modern browsers come with a feature or extension for Global Privacy Controls (GPC)?

With GPC, you can signal to websites that you prefer not to have your personal data shared or sold. It’s a straightforward tool designed to give you control over your privacy effortlessly.

This is especially helpful for compliance with privacy laws like the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

Now with WPConsent 1.0.10, you can effortlessly respect the Global Privacy Controls.

When enabled, it automatically respects users’ browser-level privacy preferences, making your site compliant with the latest privacy standards without any additional user interaction required.

Simply head to the WPConsent settings from your WordPress dashboard and enable the new Respect Global Privacy Controls option under the ‘Advanced’ tab.

Subdomain Cookie Consent Sharing

Let’s be honest, who has time to manually configure complex cookie settings across multiple domains?

In the latest WPConsent version, you’ll also find the new Shared Consent feature.

Now you can set up cookie consent preferences that work across all your subdomains. As a result, your visitors will only see the consent banner once across your entire website network.

For example, if a user accepts the cookie consent banner on your homepage (wpcode.com), then they won’t see the banner again on another subdomain (library.wpcode.com).

All you have to do is go to the WPConsent settings from your WordPress dashboard and enable the Shared Consent option under the ‘Advanced’ tab.

Besides these 2 new advanced settings options, WPConsent 1.0.10 also brings a host of improvements and bug fixes to the plugin.

So don’t let poor cookie experiences drive away your visitors for another day.

Update to WPConsent 1.0.10 today and give your users the seamless, privacy-respecting experience they deserve across your WordPress website network.
