Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Cookie Compliance for WordPress – Cookie Consent, GDPR & CCPA

Yes! This plugin is free software, and Cookie Compliance has a free plan. There are paid plans too, depending on your needs and your website traffic.

Yes. Cookie Compliance is one product, and this plugin is its WordPress component — it runs the consent banner on your site. The Cookie Compliance dashboard is the other half, where you configure the banner, manage every domain you own and keep your consent records. It was previously published as "Compliance by Hu-manity.co", and before that "Cookie Notice"; the plugin, your settings and your updates are unaffected by the name.

No. Banner Only mode DOES NOT include technical compliance features such as automatic script blocking, consent purpose categories, or consent record storage. Those need the plugin signed in to Cookie Compliance.

Not by itself — it gives you what you need to configure it that way. Signed in to Cookie Compliance you get the technical compliance features — automatic script blocking, consent purpose categories and consent record storage — covering requirements for over 100 countries and legal jurisdictions. Whether your site is fully compliant depends on how you configure them and on how your site uses personal data.

Yes. Point an MCP-capable assistant (Claude Code, Cursor, and others) at https://mcp.cookie-compliance.co/mcp — no account is required to start. On WordPress, keep using this plugin for placement rather than pasting a snippet. Details: https://cookie-compliance.co/mcp/
