Most current cookie CCPA and GDPR notices for WordPress are just that: Overlays that display information but do not actively manage cookie creation and life-cycles. Your site is still responsible for handling cookies, fingerprinting and Do-Not-Sell consent correctly. In contrast to this, the XcooBee Cookie Plugin is a true cookie-consent and life-cycle manager. It will help you implement the premises of the CCPA advent GDPR (European e-directive) correctly.
In addition, the XcooBee Cookie Plugin makes it easy for other plugins to manage their cookies and scripts correctly by simply setting html based tags for the cookies and scripts they need to have user consent to load. This way you will be compliant and continue to use your plugins.
The XcooBee Cookie Plugin Add-on does most of its work by establishing an integration to the open source
Xcoobee Cookie Kit (XCK).
Extensive details on how the XcooBee Cookie Kit operates can be found on our
documentation pages.
The objective of the XcooBee Cookie Kit (XCK) and this plug-in is to enable websites to manage their Cookie, Fingerprint and Do-Not-Sell consent more effectively and with less annoyance to their users. The XcooBee Cookie Plugin can work in concert with the XcooBee network to improve overall management for users and businesses but that is not required. A subscription also allows override in the visual style and allows you to add your own company branding. However, the XcooBee Cookie Plugin does work independently of XcooBee network.
