About this plugin
GL Consent is a lightweight consent-management plugin for WordPress. It provides a compact consent banner, a preferences drawer, and built-in integrations for common analytics and advertising services.
Site administrators configure supported services using provider-specific IDs instead of pasting arbitrary JavaScript. An enabled integration is loaded only after the visitor grants consent for its matching category.
Supported Analytics integrations:
- Google Analytics 4
- Microsoft Clarity
- Yandex Metrica
- Hotjar
Supported Marketing integrations:
- Google Ads
- Meta Pixel
- TikTok Pixel
- Microsoft Advertising UET
- LinkedIn Insight Tag
- Pinterest Tag
Features include:
- Compact first-visit consent banner.
- Accept All, Reject All, and custom consent choices.
- Analytics and Marketing consent categories.
- Built-in provider integrations with structured ID-based configuration.
- No custom JavaScript editor and no arbitrary script execution field.
- Consent preference storage in browser localStorage with a first-party cookie fallback.
- 365-day consent lifetime before the visitor is asked again.
- Consent withdrawal handling with page reload when a previously granted optional category is disabled.
- Floating Preferences Button that can be enabled or disabled.
- Left or right Preferences Button positioning.
- Small or standard Preferences Button size.
- Cookie Settings Link trigger using #gl-consent-settings, so consent preferences can be reopened from a menu, footer, button, or text link.
- Automatic link to the WordPress Privacy Policy page when one is configured.
- Frontend glconsent:changed event for developers and integrations.
- Local plugin assets and locally bundled fonts for the GL Consent admin interface.
GL Consent itself does not send visitor consent state to Gabbasov Labs and does not require a Gabbasov Labs account or cloud service.
GL Consent has a deliberately defined scope. It controls only integrations configured and enabled inside GL Consent. Tracking or third-party services loaded independently by themes, other plugins, tag managers, or custom code are not automatically detected or blocked.
GL Consent is a technical consent-control tool. It does not provide legal advice and does not guarantee compliance with any particular privacy law or regulatory framework. Site owners are responsible for evaluating their own legal and regulatory requirements and for configuring the plugin appropriately.
External Services
GL Consent can load third-party analytics and marketing services when all of the following are true:
- The site administrator configures the service in GL Consent.
- The integration is enabled in GL Consent.
- The visitor grants consent for the matching Analytics or Marketing category.
GL Consent does not contact these services merely because the plugin is installed or activated. Each integration below is optional. The listed services are independent third parties and may collect or process visitor data according to their own terms and privacy policies after the relevant integration is loaded.
