Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about ConsentOwl — Cookie Consent & Tracker Blocker

More than most people expect. Maps (Google Maps, Yandex.Maps — the Contacts page almost everyone has), videos (YouTube, RUTUBE, VK Video, Dzen, Vimeo), online chats and callback widgets (Jivo, Bitrix24, Callibri), review and booking widgets (Yandex.Maps, 2GIS, YClients), and social embeds (Instagram, VK, Telegram, X) — all of these typically load as soon as the page opens, before the visitor makes a choice. In the free version you handle each one manually by wrapping it (Method B). ConsentOwl Pro detects and blocks them automatically, with a preview placeholder, so nothing loads before consent.

This is exactly where manual wrapping gets hard. Any author can publish a page with a video or a map and forget to wrap it — and that page then loads cookies before consent. In the free version you'd need to remind the team and re-check articles regularly. ConsentOwl Pro blocks embeds automatically regardless of who added them or how. See https://itorbita.by/product/consentowl-pro

No. That's the whole point of Method A: once you tick a built-in service and enter its ID, ConsentOwl loads that tracker for you — but only after the visitor consents. You do NOT need to paste the tracker code into your theme, header.php, footer.php or a widget; add it via Google Tag Manager; wrap anything in data-consentowl-category; change type="text/javascript" to type="text/plain"; or install a separate plugin for that counter. Important: if the tracker code is already on your site, remove it. Otherwise it loads twice — once immediately (before consent, which is what the law prohibits) and once through the plugin.

Yes. Consent is stored client-side and submitted via a cache-safe AJAX endpoint, so it works with WP Rocket, LiteSpeed and similar full-page caches.

Yes. Built-in services and scripts wrapped with the data-consentowl-category attribute load only after the visitor consents to the matching category.

Yes. ConsentOwl Pro adds an automatic tracker scanner, one-click blocking, weekly auto-scan, a statistics dashboard, Google Consent Mode v2, iframe blocking with preview, and GPC support — so you don't have to find and wrap trackers by hand. It is available at https://itorbita.by/product/consentowl-pro

Yes. ConsentOwl provides the cookie-consent building blocks 152-FZ expects: a banner shown before non-essential cookies load, active per-category consent, an audit log of decisions, and a draft cookie policy page. Full compliance also requires steps outside the plugin (such as a Roskomnadzor notification and a published personal-data policy). ConsentOwl is a tool, not legal advice.
