Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →
WP PlugIndex currently records Consent Warden version 1.0.1 as active, updated 2mo ago and tested up to WordPress 7.1.
Overview
About this plugin
Consent Warden adds a clean, accessible cookie consent banner to your WordPress site. Visitors see a simple Accept button with an optional link to your privacy policy. Once accepted, the banner disappears and consent is remembered for up to a year.
Free edition features:
Accept-only banner — no unnecessary complexity
Three layout positions: bottom bar, bottom-left card, bottom-right card
Customisable heading, message text, and button label
Optional privacy policy link (URL and link text)
Six colour options: background, text, link, accept button, button text, and hover
Fires a cwarden:consent JavaScript event on accept — hook your own scripts to it
Accessible: role="region" and aria-label on the banner element
Zero external dependencies on the frontend
Consent stored in a cwarden_consent cookie with SameSite=Lax
No data sent to the server — consent stays on the visitor’s device
Upgrade to Standard or Pro for:
Granular consent categories (Analytics, Marketing, Preferences) with per-category toggles
Script blocking — prevent third-party scripts from loading until consent is given (soft dequeue and hard HTML rewrite)
Google Consent Mode v2 integration (gtag / GTM)
Full consent log — record and review visitor consent decisions
Geo-targeting — show the banner only to visitors in targeted regions (EU, UK, US, Brazil, and custom country lists)
Automatic cookie scanner — passively discover and categorise cookies set on your site
