Complianz GDPR/CCPA Cookie Consent Banner 7.5.7Latest
- November 4th, 2026
- Fix: On sites with more than one consent type, the cookie banner briefly appeared unstyled with an oversized close icon, because its stylesheet was only fetched after the banner script ran.
- Fix: The cookie banner stylesheet URL in the page source kept its unresolved {banner_id} and {type} placeholders, which search engines reported as a 404. With a single consent type, the URL is now resolved server-side. Code filtering css_file through cmplz_cookiebanner_settings should no longer ass…
- Fix: With Google Site Kit inserting the Tag Manager container, Complianz added a second, empty Tag Manager container to the page. With Consent Mode enabled the signals are now printed in the header, before Site Kit’s container, instead of in the footer.
- Fix: On sites upgraded from before 7.0, a placeholder switched off on the old Integrations page could not be switched back on for services with a dash in their name, such as Google Maps: Integrations > Services reported the placeholder as enabled while the content was blocked with no placeholder at…
- Fix: Switching a placeholder on or off now takes effect on the front end immediately, instead of after up to 30 minutes.
- Fix: On some setups, the cookie banner and script blocking could be silently absent because the cookie-warning check ran before other plugins’ filters were registered.
- Fix: The “accept service” button label showed a raw {Service} placeholder in some German translations.
- Fix: The accessible name of the placeholder buttons now includes their visible text (WCAG 2.5.3).
- Fix: Google Analytics 4 sent the first page view of a returning visitor as unconsented. Consent Mode now waits up to 500 ms for the saved consent, adjustable with the cmplz_gtag_wait_for_update filter.
Complianz GDPR/CCPA Cookie Consent Banner 7.5.6
- October 13th, 2026
- Security: Rate-limited the public data request endpoint and removed an email enumeration oracle.
- Security: Fixed a Stored XSS vulnerability in the Document block.
- Security: Fixed a Stored Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability in the YotuWP cookie blocker.
- Fix: Website Scan now recovers from a token error state instead of staying stuck.
- Fix: Vimeo placeholder thumbnails now use HTTPS for the oEmbed request and cache failed lookups, preventing repeated requests on every page load.
- Fix: On sites with a non-English default language, strings were registered with WPML as English, making them untranslatable.
- Fix: Corrected the “Dismiss on scroll” tooltip and limited dismiss on scroll and dismiss on timeout to opt-out banners, where they actually apply.
- Fix: Only the first [cmplz-manage-consent] shortcode on a page was initialized, leaving the other ones empty with a “without javascript support” notice.
- Fix: Cookie Policy page detection now matches the configured page, including translated pages.
- Fix: The cookie banner no longer stays dismissed site-wide when the [cmplz-manage-consent] shortcode is used outside the Cookie Policy page.
- Fix: The cookie banner no longer fails to show after a cookie policy change on sites with a page cache, which left visitors without a banner and with all consent denied.
- Fix: On sites using more than one consent type, the Manage consent button referenced the wrong cookie banner in its aria-controls attribute.
- Fix: With the soft cookie wall enabled, a page using the consent shortcodes could stay unclickable with no banner visible.
- Fix: On sites with multiple cookie banners, all banners registered their WPML strings under the same names, so one banner’s texts overwrote another’s. Translations that were shared between banners are marked as needing an update in WPML String Translation.
- Fix: On locked premium settings, the upgrade link text no longer showed raw placeholder tokens.
Complianz GDPR/CCPA Cookie Consent Banner 7.5.5
