Install

Download source zip No release zip yet

This is the repository archive. It installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow.

Install straight from GitHub with WP-CLI:

wp plugin install https://github.com/mrlennyman/alchemy-cookie-consent/archive/refs/heads/main.zip
Updates itself. It ships its own updater (Plugin Update Checker), so new versions appear under Dashboard → Updates.

Self-hosted WordPress cookie consent banner — WP Consent API + Google Consent Mode v2, optional geo-targeting, no external cookie scanner. Built for the Website Alchemy client portfolio.

Features

  • Opt-in cookie banner with Necessary / Analytics / Marketing categories
  • Registers with the WP Consent API so Google Site Kit's Consent Mode v2 picks it up automatically
  • window.dataLayer bridge for wiring non-Google tags (Bing UET, Facebook Pixel, Hotjar, Clarity, etc.) through GTM
  • Hand-maintained cookie list with a quick-add helper for common services — no automated scanner, no false positives
  • Optional geo-targeting: Strict (opt-in banner), Light (auto-granted, visible opt-out), or Exempt (auto-granted, no UI) by country — off by default
  • Consent log with CSV export for compliance audits
  • [alchemy_cookie_policy], [alchemy_cookie_consent_settings_link], and [alchemy_regulatory_links] shortcodes

Requirements

  • WordPress 6.2+
  • PHP 7.4+

Installation

Download the latest release zip from the Releases page and upload it via Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin. This plugin isn't on WordPress.org — updates are delivered by checking this repo's releases directly, so once installed, new versions show up as a normal "Update available" notice on the Plugins page instead of requiring a manual re-upload.

Documentation

See readme.txt for full setup instructions, the FAQ, the external-services disclosure (Cloudflare-based geo-detection), and the version changelog.
