About this plugin
BusinessConsent adds a consent banner to your WordPress site and keeps tracking off until visitors agree.
- Banner for each visitor’s location – opt-in for visitors from the EU, the UK and similar regions, and an opt-out “Your Privacy Choices” link for US states that use opt-out, with Global Privacy Control respected.
- Google Consent Mode v2 built in – Google Analytics, Google Ads and Tag Manager start in “denied” mode and follow each visitor’s choice.
- Automatic blocking – the Meta Pixel, TikTok, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Microsoft Clarity, Hotjar, HubSpot and other known trackers wait until the visitor agrees, without editing your theme.
- Proof of consent – every decision is recorded with a signed receipt in your dashboard.
- WP Consent API support – plugins that read the WP Consent API (such as WooCommerce and Site Kit) see the visitor’s choice.
- Works with caching and optimisation plugins – the banner script is excluded from deferring and delaying in WP Rocket, Autoptimize, LiteSpeed Cache, Cloudflare Rocket Loader and others.
You design the banner, choose languages and run compliance checks in the BusinessConsent dashboard. This plugin connects your site to it.
A BusinessConsent account is required. A free plan is available.

External services
This plugin connects your site to the BusinessConsent service, which provides the cookie banner. Nothing is sent until you enter a property ID and switch the banner on in Settings → BusinessConsent.
When the banner is on, each visitor’s browser:
- loads the banner script from https://cdn.businessconsent.com/v1/{property ID} on every page;
- loads the banner settings for your property from https://api.businessconsent.com/v1/config/{property ID}, and asks https://api.businessconsent.com/v1/geo for the visitor’s region so the right rules apply;
- when the visitor makes a choice, sends a consent record to https://api.businessconsent.com/v1/consent: your property ID, a random visitor ID stored in the browser, the choices for each category, how the choice was made, whether Global Privacy Control was on, the banner and policy versions, the language and the time;
- if the banner script itself fails, may send an error report (error message and stack trace, no page address) to https://api.businessconsent.com/v1/errors/client.
As with any web request, these services also receive the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent.
The service is provided by BusinessConsent: Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, Data Processing Agreement.
