Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Harbor Privacy Guard for WooCommerce

It can, but it also works alongside one. If you already run another consent-management plugin, consider disabling its visitor-facing banner so your store does not show two banners; its other features (cookie scanning, privacy-policy pages) can remain active alongside this plugin.

GPC is a browser-level opt-out signal (like Do Not Track, but legally binding in 12 US states). When a user enables it in their browser or privacy extension, their browser sends Sec-GPC: 1 on every HTTP request. This plugin detects that header server-side and blocks tracking without requiring the user to interact with a banner.

No. The plugin only dequeues scripts that are enqueued through WordPress's script system. It does not modify orders, prices, or checkout logic. If you use a tracking script that is injected outside of wp_enqueue_scripts (for example, hardcoded into a theme), the free tier will not block it — that case is handled by the Pro output-buffer feature.

Yes, for Consent Mode v2 purposes. The plugin emits gtag('consent','default',...) before GTM loads so GTM respects the consent state and suppresses or permits its tags accordingly. Note: the free tier does not prevent the GTM container script itself from loading — it only controls what GTM does once loaded. If you need to block the GTM script entirely when consent is denied, enable the Pro output-buffer mode.

The consent log is stored in the {prefix}gpcg_opt_out_log database table. A monthly summary is shown at the bottom of the WooCommerce > GPC Compliance settings page. Pro users can download a full date-ranged CSV from that same page.

IPs are hashed with SHA-256 and a site-specific salt before storage. The raw IP is never stored. Hashed IPs cannot be reversed to identify individuals, which means the log does not constitute personal data under most interpretations of GDPR. You should still mention the log in your privacy policy and confirm with your legal counsel whether your specific jurisdiction requires additional disclosures.

The server detects Sec-GPC: 1 on every request independently. No cookie or session is required for GPC to be honored — the header is checked fresh on each page load. The JavaScript fallback cookie (gpcg_gpc_js) is also checked on each request but is only a fallback for environments where the HTTP header is stripped.

Yes for script blocking. The plugin dequeues scripts by WordPress handle name, which works regardless of which page builder renders the page. The Consent Mode v2 defaults are emitted via wp_head at priority 1, which fires before any page builder output. If your page builder injects tracking scripts by hardcoding them into a template (outside of wp_enqueue_scripts), those scripts will not be blocked by the free tier — use the Pro output-buffer mode in that case.

Deleting the plugin via Plugins > Delete removes all plugin options and all plugin transients from wp_options on every site of the network. The consent audit log table ({prefix}gpcg_opt_out_log) is also dropped. This is irreversible — export a CSV before uninstalling if you need to retain the log for compliance purposes.

The plugin only blocks tracking for visitors who have actively opted out (declined the banner or enabled GPC) or who have not yet interacted with the banner. Visitors who accept cookies are unaffected. For opted-out visitors, GA4's consent mode modeling can still estimate conversions from anonymized signals — which requires the gtag('consent','default',...) call this plugin provides.
