Install

No release zip yet. The repository archive installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow:

wp plugin install https://github.com/mrlennyman/alchemy-cookie-consent/archive/refs/heads/main.zip

Ships its own WordPress updater (Plugin Update Checker), so new versions show up under Dashboard → Updates.

Readme

Alchemy Cookie Consent

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.
