About this plugin
Samtykkr is a lightweight cookie consent banner built to be correct under Norwegian law out of the box. Since 1 January 2025, the Norwegian Electronic Communications Act section 3-15 requires consent that is valid under the GDPR before cookies and similar technologies are used. Most banners get the details wrong.
Samtykkr ships with defaults that follow the requirements, so you do not have to be a privacy expert to set it up correctly.
Correct by default
Accept and Reject are placed in the first layer, with the same size and contrast, as the Norwegian Data Protection Authority requires. There are no pre-ticked boxes, and consent is specific, with a separate choice per purpose.
No tracking before consent
Google Consent Mode v2 starts at denied for every category and is updated only when the visitor consents. Tracking scripts are blocked until then. Samtykkr runs Basic consent mode, so no data is sent to Google before consent.
Withdraw at any time
A permanent button lets visitors change or withdraw their choice whenever they want. Every choice is recorded in a local consent log that serves as documentation.
Norwegian and English
The banner, the choice window and the settings are available in English, Bokmal and Nynorsk, and follow the language of the site. A site in any other language gets English. The purpose texts are written for Norwegian law, not generically translated.
Lightweight and accessible
The banner is small, reads client-side, and does not break caching or Core Web Vitals. It works with common caching plugins and page builders. It follows WCAG, is keyboard friendly, and is accessible.
Your data stays on your site
The consent log lives in your own WordPress database. It is not sent to us or to a cloud abroad.
Pro
Samtykkr Pro adds a tracker scanner, automatic tracker and rule updates, an audit PDF for documentation, white-label, and multi-site management for agencies. no
