Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about CookieRay – Cookie Banner for Cookie Consent (GDPR/CCPA Compliant)

Strict blocking delays known tracking scripts from running until consent covers the categories you associate with those tags. Log Only records consent without enforcing blocking; ensure third-party integrations respect consent appropriately in that mode.

Consent Mode is a mechanism for signaling consent defaults and updates to Google tags loaded on your pages. CookieRay emits the signals those tags consume when Consent Mode is enabled. Google's documentation describes how tags respond when analytics or advertising cookies are refused.

No. CookieRay does not send usage data, telemetry, or visitor content to CookieRay-operated servers. If you install third-party analytics or advertising tags (such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel, or similar), those vendors may collect or process visitor data according to their own implementations, tags, accounts, region settings, and policies. See External Services for how CookieRay interacts with your own-site HTTP requests during scans and browser-side Consent Mode output.

In Strict mode CookieRay intervenes early so many known tracking snippets do not execute before consent applies. Detailed techniques can vary between releases; the goal is delaying third-party trackers until consent allows them within the categories CookieRay exposes. If you temporarily need maximum compatibility troubleshooting, compare behavior against Log Only mode alongside your caching and optimization stack.

CookieRay does not store raw IP addresses in consent logs. Before storage CookieRay derives a compact visitor fingerprint from combined request signals (currently IP plus user-agent material) so raw IP octets never persist verbatim. Separately, CookieRay saves a shortened hash suffix suitable for distinguishing devices in the admin, not the verbatim user-agent string. Prefer treating stored fields as opaque identifiers suitable for aggregate operational review, not as airtight legal identity proof. Country hints primarily come from common CDN or reverse-proxy HTTP headers stored by your host stack. Where the optional PHP GeoIP extension is enabled on the server with a local database, CookieRay may perform a server-local lookup without calling an external geolocation API service.

The checklist contributes to a summarized score reflecting selected setup items (Strict mode, categorized cookies, a configured policy link, recency reminders for scans or consent expiry boundaries, whether Google Consent Mode output remains enabled, and related items), each influencing the weighted display. Treat the score as internal guidance, not a statutory compliance certification.

Yes. The Consent Logs screen lets you search, filter, and export CSV. Individual PDF receipts are available where supported. Use exports within your organizational policy for retention and auditing.

The banner initializes from front-end scripts after page load. CookieRay aims to behave sanely alongside common optimization plugins (WP Super Cache, W3 Total Cache, WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache, SG Optimizer, and others); still verify behavior with your caching rules.

CookieRay targets standard single-site installations. Network-wide multisite setups are not a supported configuration in this release.

Running two consent-management solutions together can duplicate banners or fight over script interception. Disable overlapping plugins while evaluating CookieRay.
