GDPR Compliance & Cookie Consent 1.7.1Latest
- Fixed typos: “Coockie Consent” in the settings and “Your request have been submitted” in the default data request message (sites that kept the default message get it corrected).
GDPR Compliance & Cookie Consent 1.7.0
- Added Google Consent Mode v2 (on by default): consent defaults are printed in the page head, and accept, decline or category changes update Google tags. Returning visitors get their stored choice applied on load.
- Added a Decline button: on by default for new installs, off for existing sites until you enable it (General tab).
- Fixed the banner coming back on every page behind a page cache: it is now shown or hidden in the browser from the consent cookie, and an expired nonce on a cached page no longer prevents the choice from being saved.
- Fixed the JavaScript cookie blocker, which blocked the consent cookie itself and was only loaded for visitors without the cookie.
- Saving the settings now clears the page cache of WP Rocket, W3 Total Cache, WP Super Cache, SiteGround Optimizer and LiteSpeed Cache.
- The banner, cookie blocker and Consent Mode no longer run inside page builder editors such as the WPBakery frontend editor.
- Added a Gutenberg block for the data access and erasure request form; the shortcode accepts title and description.
- Translation-ready: remaining strings, including the default texts, can be translated.
- Review reminder in the admin after two weeks, dismissible.
- Requires WordPress 5.7 or higher.
GDPR Compliance & Cookie Consent 1.6.3
- Security hardening: all output of the cookie popup, consent checkboxes, widget and data access form is now escaped; popup colours, position and custom CSS are validated.
- Replaced the bundled CMB2 library with a native WordPress Settings API page. Stored settings are unchanged.
- Fixed a fatal error when a comment was submitted without ticking the consent checkbox, and the Contact Form 7 consent tag handler.
- Translations load through WordPress itself; settings load their admin assets only on the plugin page; the consent cookie is set with the Secure and SameSite attributes.
GDPR Compliance & Cookie Consent 1.6.2
- Tested with WordPress 7.1. Outbound credit links now carry rel=”nofollow”.
