202615 releases

  1. GDPR Cookie Compliance 5.3.1Latest

    • Fixed: in browsers that block cookie notices, such as Brave or Malwarebytes Browser Guard, the Cookie Settings Screen showed as an unstyled box on the page. It now stays hidden, as it did before 5.3.0
    • Geo location with Google Consent Mode v2 (Premium): when a visitor’s location cannot be determined, the cookies Google tags set before the location check answered are now removed, and the next pages start with consent denied
  2. GDPR Cookie Compliance 5.3.0

    • Saving the settings now clears the cache of supported caching and optimisation plugins, so visitors see the changes straight away: WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache, NitroPack, Autoptimize, W3 Total Cache, WP Super Cache, WP Fastest Cache, WP-Optimize, Cache Enabler, SiteGround Speed Optimizer, Hummingbir…
    • Where no supported caching plugin is found, the “Settings saved” message reminds you to clear the page cache
    • Light colour scheme: banner text outside a paragraph, such as lists, is no longer white on a white background
    • Cookie Settings Screen on mobile: the popup now fits the visible screen when the browser toolbars are showing, so the buttons at the bottom can always be reached
    • Cookie Settings Screen on mobile: when the buttons wrap onto two rows, the footer grows to fit them instead of pushing them past the bottom edge
    • Cookie Settings Screen on mobile: removed the extra gap under the logo in the tabbed layout
    • Geo location with Google Consent Mode v2 or Microsoft Clarity: visitors who are not shown the banner because of their location now have consent granted on their first page view, not only from the next page
    • A script that fails to load, for example one blocked by an ad blocker, no longer stops the scripts and the Google Consent Mode update that come after it
    • Google Consent Mode v2: the consent update is now sent before the scripts of the accepted cookie category run, so Google tags added there count the page view with the updated consent
    • Google Consent Mode v2 with geo location (Premium): the consent default now follows the geo location rules by region, so visitors outside the targeted regions are measured with consent from the start of their first page view instead of after the location check
    • Withdrawing consent now stops Google tags in the current page straight away, before the page reloads: Google Analytics is switched off, and Google Consent Mode is updated to denied for the withdrawn categories. Previously the tags already loaded kept sending data with the earlier consent until the…
    • GTM4WP integration: when the Google Consent Mode v2 integration already loads the same GTM container, it is no longer loaded a second time once the visitor accepts cookies
    • Google Consent Mode v2, Microsoft Clarity and WP Consent API: when only one of the Analytics and Marketing categories is switched on, it now covers both the analytics and the advertising consent. Previously, visitors who switched it on and saved their settings had advertising consent denied, while…
    • Google Consent Mode v2: consent code added to a cookie category’s scripts, such as a gtag(‘consent’, ‘update’) block, no longer overrides the visitor’s choices. The plugin sends the visitor’s consent again after that category’s scripts have run
    • Google Consent Mode v2: when a visitor turns on more cookie categories without the page reloading, the consent update and the cookie_consent_update event are now sent straight away, so tags waiting for that consent fire on the same page. Previously the new consent only applied from the next page
    • Dismissing the Premium Add-On’s update notice no longer fails with a PHP error on PHP 8
  3. GDPR Cookie Compliance 5.2.2

    • Minor fix in plugin licence manager
  4. GDPR Cookie Compliance 5.2.1

    • Cookie settings titles and the banner’s screen reader heading no longer use H2 tags, so they no longer appear in SEO heading audits. Screen readers still announce them as headings.
  5. GDPR Cookie Compliance 5.2.0

    • Accessibility fixes
    • Google Tag Manager integrations: Google tag IDs (G-, GT-, AW-) now load via gtag.js, as required by Google from 2 October 2026
    • GTM container IDs (GTM-) are unaffected
    • Cookie removal fixed: Google Ads and Meta cookies (e.g. _gcl_au, _fbc) are now deleted when consent is revoked
    • Consent Mode v2: GA4 cookieless pings are now sent before consent
    • Geo location fixed: the cookie banner is now always shown when the visitor’s location cannot be determined
    • Admin settings: invalid tab parameters now fall back to the default tab
