Samtykkr

Samtykkr is a lightweight cookie consent banner built to be correct under Norwegian law out of the box. Since 1 January 2025, the Norwegian Electronic Communications Act section 3-15 requires consent that is valid under the GDPR before cookies and similar technologies are used. Most banners get the details wrong. Samtykkr ships with defaults that follow the requirements, so you do not have to be a privacy expert to set it up correctly. Correct by default Accept and Reject are placed in the first layer, with the same size and contrast, as the Norwegian Data Protection Authority requires. There are no pre-ticked boxes, and consent is specific, with a separate choice per purpose. No tracking before consent Google Consent Mode v2 starts at denied for every category and is updated only when the visitor consents. Tracking scripts are blocked until then. Samtykkr runs Basic consent mode, so no data is sent to Google before consent. Withdraw at any time A permanent button lets visitors change or withdraw their choice whenever they want. Every choice is recorded in a local consent log that serves as documentation. Norwegian and Nynorsk The banner and settings are available in Bokmal and Nynorsk, with English as a fallback. The purpose texts are written for Norwegian law, not generically translated. Lightweight and accessible The banner is small, reads client-side, and does not break caching or Core Web Vitals. It works with common caching plugins and page builders. It follows WCAG, is keyboard friendly, and is accessible. Your data stays on your site The consent log lives in your own WordPress database. It is not sent to us or to a cloud abroad. Pro Samtykkr Pro adds a tracker scanner, automatic tracker and rule updates, an audit PDF for documentation, white-label, and multi-site management for agencies.

1.0.6

• Fix: the consent blocker no longer runs in wp-admin. This prevents a conflict where the block editor (and other plugins' blocks) could fail to render.

1.0.5

• Banner: the buttons and the floating manage button are now isolated from the host theme's button styling, so they always show the correct colours. The manage button is a touch smaller and tidier.

1.0.4

• Banner: now inherits your theme font for a more native look.
• Internal: the banner engine can render documents in a scrollable in-banner panel, used by Samtykkr Pro to show Privacy and Cookies inside the banner.

1.0.3

• Banner: the floating "manage consent" button is now a compact icon that expands to its label on hover and focus, so it takes far less space on the page.
• Admin: a short guide to the Pro features and an updated install description.

• Banner: the "Secured by Samtykkr" mark now uses the brand accent colour.
