Global Consent Gate by INformigados provides a customizable cookie banner and privacy choices panel. It is designed to assist a WordPress site with cookie/tracking consent requirements. It does not and cannot guarantee legal compliance. Legal obligations depend on your jurisdiction, sector, users, technologies, vendors, purposes and current law.
The default "Global Strict" configuration takes a conservative approach:
- Necessary technologies can run immediately.
- Preferences, Analytics and Marketing are off until the visitor grants that category.
- Accept All and Reject Non-essential are equally prominent by default.
- Visitors can reopen the panel and withdraw/change choices.
- Choose a cookie, shield or sliders icon, text or both; customize its colors, size, spacing and side.
- Settings are organized into General, Appearance, Text & links, Integrations, Records and About tabs.
- Global Privacy Control (GPC) forces Marketing off when enabled.
- Google Consent Mode v2 can be set to denied before supported tags and updated after the choice.
- Optional pseudonymous consent receipts can be stored locally in WordPress.
- No front-end JavaScript framework, jQuery dependency, remote CSS, remote fonts or external service is required by the plugin itself.
The built-in integrations accept only a Google Analytics 4 Measurement ID or a numeric Meta Pixel ID. No custom JavaScript, HTML snippets, arbitrary URLs or tag-manager containers can be entered. Both services are disabled by default. Preferences remains available through the consent API for integrations implemented separately by developers.
Blocking applies only to the built-in integrations. Remove duplicate trackers inserted by themes, tag managers or other plugins. Existing custom snippet fields from development builds are ignored and removed when settings are saved; they are not converted automatically.
