Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about FAZ Cookie Manager

No required cloud account or subscription is needed. Core consent features run locally, while some optional refresh/download features can contact documented third-party services such as GitHub, IAB Europe, MaxMind, or AMP infrastructure.

It's free and open source (GPL-3.0). There are no premium upgrades, no feature gates, and no upsells. The plugin is based on the GPL-licensed CookieYes v3.4.0 codebase, with cloud dependencies removed and all included features running locally.

Yes. The plugin sends all 7 consent signals (ad_storage, analytics_storage, ad_user_data, ad_personalization, functionality_storage, personalization_storage, security_storage) and supports Google Additional Consent Mode (GACM) for ad technology providers.

Yes. Any script tagged with data-faz-tag="category-name" is blocked until the visitor grants consent for that category. This helps you implement consent-based blocking for ePrivacy/GDPR workflows.

Go to FAZ Cookie > Cookies and click Scan Site. The scanner runs in your browser using iframes, crawling your site's pages to detect all cookies. Choose from quick scan (10 pages), standard (100), deep (1000), or full scan. No external service involved.

Yes. Every consent action (accept, reject, customize) is recorded in a local database table with timestamp, consent ID, categories chosen, anonymized IP, and page URL. Export to CSV anytime from the Consent Logs page.

Yes. The Languages page lets you select from 180+ available languages. The banner text is automatically translated based on the visitor's browser language, and you can customize every string.

Yes. A floating revisit widget appears on every page, letting visitors reopen the preference center and change their choices at any time.

Yes. The banner supports full keyboard navigation (Tab, Enter, Escape), proper ARIA labels, and is responsive down to 375px viewports. Buttons have equal visual prominence to avoid dark patterns.

Yes. The consent banner is rendered via JavaScript from a cached template, so it works with all major caching plugins (WP Super Cache, W3 Total Cache, LiteSpeed Cache, etc.).
