Be fully GDPR and CCPA compliant through Content Security Policy.

Multilingual support through WPML, PolyLang or probably any multilingual plugin out there since this plugin follows WordPress Coding Standards. See FAQ below on how to translate with WPML or PolyLang.

Does this make my site GDPR compliant?
Yes, if you set it up right.
Does this make my site CCPA compliant?
Yes, if you set it up right.
How do I know what resources are used on my site?
After install, open a console and see what is blocked by Content Security Policy. Then just go to the settings and white list all domains you want to accept.
The settings does not seem to have an effect. What do I do?
In some cases (like WP Engine) cookies are cached. Just contact them and ask them to uncache the cookies_and_content_security_policy cookie.

Is the plugin responsive?
Yes.
Is the plugin translatable?
Yes, all texts are translatable. There is a .pot file. It’s available in English and Swedish for the admin, but you can add your own translations. And all texts on the front end can be changed in the admin. If you are using WPML or PolyLang, there is also support for multilanguage translations.
How do I translate in WPML?
- Make sure you have “WPML String Translation” installed.
- Go to Settings > Cookies and Content Security Policy > Texts and save your texts.
- Go to WPML > String Translation.
- Search for “cacsp_” (without quotes).
- Click the plus sign to add translation.
- If you have a string named “cacsp_option_settings_policy_link”, the value is a number. It is the ID of the Cookie policy page. Translate this by entering the ID of the cookie policy page in the language you are translating to.
How do I translate in PolyLang?
- Go to Settings > Cookies and Content Security Policy > Texts and save your texts.
- In the WordPress admin bar, choose “Show all languages”.
- Go to Languages > Strings translations.
- In the “View all groups” dropdown, choose cookies-and-content-security-policy, and click “Filter”.
- Translate your texts in the form.
- If you have a string named “cacsp_option_settings_policy_link”, the value is a number. It is the ID of the Cookie policy page. Translate this by entering the ID of the cookie policy page in the language you are translating to.
Can I change the look of it?
Yes, there are settings for using a modal or a banner. Also you can choose if the site should be locked behind the modal or if the site should be usable without setting your preferences. You can also change the colors of everything. And if you want you can disable the css entirely and use your own.
Does it include a cookie policy page?
No, but you can make your own, and in the settings you can select it and the modal won’t show there so that the user can read it without accepting first.
What if the user wants to change their settings?
You can add a link anywhere on your site that links to
#cookiesAndContentPolicySettingsand clicking that will open the settings.Are the css and js files minified?
Yes, but you also get them unminified and the css also comes as SASS so you can change anything.
Can I bypass the plugin for testing purposes?
Yes, just add the querystring ?cacsp_bypass=true to your url, when running speedtest in Gmetrix for instance. It will set a session cookie that accepts all Domains you’ve set.
I have just spent the last 48 hours setting up a GDPR/CCPA Compliant Privacy Policy and Cookie Content Banner. Tried a number of similar plugins but it’s either a premium/paid plugin or the cookie blocking setup is too complicated or not working.
When I tried this plugin, I first encountered a conflict in one of my custom js files. But after removing/solving that conflict, the plugin worked great! Kudos to the plugin author!
One of the best plugins for cookie policy settings (Including paid ones). Easy to adjust and configure. 100% recommended. The plugin is great, but the support is even better!
Great job!
Thanks.
Very complete plugin, as a suggestion would be to put a fixed floating tab to be able to always check cookies, but the plugin is great, perfect and free, and also, efficient and fast support… I can’t ask for more. Congratulations!
As we all are really annoyed by having to click all those consent modals it is a great experience to be working with a plugin that both make it easy for us developers / web site owners to comply with the law and at the same time give the user a chance to understand why the damn modal is there.
If you want to comply with the law and also be nice to your visitors – you could not be using a better WordPress plugin
A simple and easy to use plugin if you really want to do right with cookies and content security.
This is the first cookie plugin that I understand what It is doing and how to setting things up.
“Cookies and Content Security Policy” is open source software. The following people have contributed to this plugin.
