We just made cookie banner translations in WordPress a lot EASIER 🌍 My team at @WPConsent just dropped the newest version with AI-powered auto-translations. - 70 languages with 1-click - Translates banners, buttons, cookie descriptions—everything - No expensive translation services needed - Hours of work → seconds PLUS: We added a New Google Tag Manager custom event which loads tags based on actual consent! This makes sure that your tracking tools, like the Facebook Pixel, only runs after a visitor has given you their specific permission when loaded as a tag in GTM. No more complex workarounds or custom code. We're making privacy compliance easier for WordPress sites. Read more here: wpconsent.com/introducing-wp…

My team at WPConsent (@wpconsent) just added a Microsoft Clarity Consent mode (@msftClarity) to make privacy compliance easier for WordPress site owners. Starting October 31st, 2025, Microsoft Clarity will begin implementing a Consent Mode for visitors from the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom (UK), and Switzerland (CH). As a result, the Consent Mode only sets cookies once a user gives consent. I highly recommend giving our WPConsent plugin a try 😀 Link in the comment below:

Location-based cookie banners just got easier with @wpconsent. You can now 1-click add region-specific rules for GDPR, CCPA, etc. and even hide the banner for some visitors. Check out the latest version or create your custom rules.

Did you know that many visitors only engage with videos on a site that respects their privacy preferences? To give you more control over user privacy and website compliance, @wpconsent now has a new Content Blocking feature which prevents third-party services from loading iframes before consent is given. What this means is that WPConsent now automatically blocks embedded content from popular video platforms (YouTube, Vimeo, and Dailymotion) until a user grants consent. Not only that, but it also prevents content embedded in iframes for reCAPTCHA and Google Maps before consent is given. Give your users complete transparency! wpconsent.com/introducing-wp…

New update out today!

CCPA emphasizes letting users know what data you collect and giving them the right to opt out. 🔒 A #cookie popup (like @wpconsent) easily covers both—inform and empower your visitors!

✨ NEW: Do Not Track Addon for WordPress My team at WPConsent (@wpconsent) just launched a new Do Not Track addon to manage privacy requests for better compliance. I really love what @mircea_sandu is building here. We launched the plugin earlier this year and already 20,000 sites are using it 😍 wpconsent.com/introducing-wp…

Managing Do Not Track requests from your WordPress site is now easy and clear. We just released an update for @wpconsent that introduces our Do Not Track addon. Configure a page with a form to start collecting requests with 1-click. Keep track of requests and mark them as processed for proof. Easy export of data. And, of course, fully self-hosted. This update also enables service-level consent for your visitors and more customization options. Full info in the link below.

Managing @wpconsent on multiple sites is easier with last week's update. You can now import/export your settings, cookie data or banner design. We also made it super easy to import cookie data for any service in our library. Very useful for those services our scanner can't detect (although we detect most things automatically).
