WPSimpleCompliance is a lightweight WordPress plugin for EU-oriented cookie consent, privacy/cookie policy pages, Google Consent Mode v2 defaults, cookie scanning and an accessibility statement helper.

The plugin is intentionally self-contained: no SaaS dependency, no external update library, no telemetry.

Main Features

• First-layer cookie banner with accept, reject and granular preferences.
• Consent categories: necessary, preferences, statistics and marketing.
• Google Consent Mode v2 default-denied initialization.
• Runtime activation for blocked scripts marked with type="text/plain" and data-lde-consent.
• Generated privacy policy, cookie policy and accessibility statement pages.
• Technical scan of HTTP Set-Cookie headers and common third-party scripts.
• GitHub Releases updater for WordPress admin updates.

Compliance Notes

This plugin provides technical controls and legal-document templates, but it is not a substitute for a legal review. The site owner remains responsible for verifying real processing activities, legal bases, processors, international transfers, retention periods and configured third-party tags before publication.

EU/Italian cookie compliance depends on the whole site implementation: non-essential scripts must be blocked before consent, the cookie table must reflect actual vendors, and consent must be renewed when processing conditions materially change.

See COMPLIANCE-REVIEW.md for the current technical review and residual risks.

WordPress Update Flow

The plugin checks public GitHub Releases from:

https://github.com/CodyCloudSrls/WPSimpleCompliance

Each production release must include an asset named:

simple-privacy-cookie-policy.zip

The ZIP must contain the plugin files inside a root folder named simple-privacy-cookie-policy. This preserves update compatibility with existing installations that used the previous plugin slug.

Releasing

1. Update the plugin version in simple-privacy-cookie-policy.php.
2. Update CHANGELOG.md.
3. Commit the changes.
4. Tag the release, for example:

git tag v1.2.0
git push origin main --tags

The GitHub Actions workflow builds and attaches simple-privacy-cookie-policy.zip to the GitHub Release.
