Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Real Cookie Banner: GDPR & ePrivacy Cookie Consent
We offer a knowledge base and fast support on our website. Please feel free to open a support ticket if you have questions, issues or feedback about the plugin. We love to make Real Cookie Banner better!
Yes, Real Cookie Banner has a scanner that checks your website for used services. It recommends you from service templates and content blocker templates suitable configuration. It will also alert you to unknown services on your website that may require consent. For more information on how our service scanner works, see our knowledge base. However, the service scanner is not a cookie scanner. A cookie scanner could, if at all, only find cookies, but not legally assess the processing of personal data. Moreover, it is highly complex to find all cookies and most so-called cookie scanners do not find all cookies. We have explained in detail why this is so in our knowledge base.
Yes, all core features of Real Cookie Banner are free and you are able to create unlimited services (cookies) and content blockers. But most of the service templates and content blocker templates that will save you many hours of research work are included only in the PRO version. Learn more about the PRO version.
The PRO Version offers you many additional features like consent to data processing in unsafe third countries, statistics about consents, advanced visual content blockers, cookie banner design presets, TCF support, geo-restriction, Google Tag Manager and Matomo Tag Manager support, consent forwarding or many service templates and content blocker templates. Learn more about the PRO version.
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), also referred to as GDPR, RGPD, RODO, or AVG in different regions, is a comprehensive data protection law enacted by the European Union in 2018. It aims to standardize data protection laws across all EU member states, safeguarding EU citizens' personal data while regulating how data is processed by organizations. The GDPR enhances individuals' control over their personal data, granting rights like access to data, correction, deletion, and the option to object to data processing under certain circumstances. It mandates transparency, consent, and accountability from organizations, making them responsible for ensuring data privacy and security. Although the GDPR significantly impacts how cookies are used on websites, it does not directly regulate the use of cookies. The regulation of cookies falls under the ePrivacy Directive, often referred to as the "Cookie Law", which requires user consent for the storage of and access to cookies on their devices. However, since cookies can store personal data such as user preferences or behavior tracking information, the GDPR's consent and transparency principles come into play. In essence, while the ePrivacy Directive governs the use of cookies, the GDPR sets the broader framework for the protection of personal data, which indirectly influences how cookies are handled when they process personal data.
The ePrivacy Directive, also known as the "Cookie Directive", is an EU directive focused on the protection of personal data in electronic communications. It requires companies and website operators within the EU to obtain users' consent before storing or accessing information on their devices, such as through cookies. It is the reason why most website in the EU have cookie plugins, also known as cookie consent dialogs or cookie banners. Member states have transposed the directive into their national laws, leading to various names for the legislation in different countries, like TDDDG (former TTDSG) in Germany, LOPD-GDD in Spain, DTA in Netherlands, TLA in Poland, LEK in Sweden, and the E-com Act in Norway. Inspection of plugin source files Most plugin files (PHP, templates, assets) are in the ZIP in human-friendly, unprocessed form (soure files). The plugin’s JavaScript/TypeScript is bundled (e.g. by Webpack) from plugin-specific packages and third-party open source to produce build files. Each build ends with //# sourceMappingURL=… to source maps with the original, human-readable code; these maps are public and the included source code can be inspected by anyone directly in your browser, if you have installed the plugin. To conveniently view the complete codebase of the consumed script in e.g. Chromium/Google Chrome, open ⋮ > More tools > Developer tools > ⋮ (in DevTools) > Settings > Preferences > Sources and enable "JavaScript source maps", "CSS source maps", and "Allow DevTools to load resources, such as source maps, from remote file paths". Reload, then open DevTools > Sources > "devowl-local-files" to inspect all readable sources. Source maps are hosted outside the ZIP to keep size manageable; otherwise the plugin could exceed limits of web hosts and become non-installable. The repository with all source files can be do be inspected by anyone at assets.devowl.io/wordpress-plugins-source-code.zip. Please check out the README.md in the repository to learn how to get started! For details on the data procession of our servers, please read devowl.io/privacy-policy.
