WordPress Cloudflare Cookie Manager

A WordPress plugin that provides GDPR-compliant management of Cloudflare's bot management cookie (__cf_bm) in conjunction with CookieYes consent management.

Overview

Cloudflare's bot management system sets a cookie (__cf_bm) that helps protect your site from malicious bots. However, under GDPR and similar privacy regulations, this cookie requires user consent as it's considered a non-essential analytics cookie.

This plugin automatically:

Monitors the CookieYes consent status
Removes the __cf_bm cookie when consent is not given
Allows the cookie when analytics consent is granted
Responds to consent changes in real-time

Requirements

WordPress 5.0 or higher
CookieYes used on the site.
Cloudflare's bot protection in use on the site.

Installation

Download the plugin
Upload to your WordPress site
Activate through the WordPress plugins page

How It Works

The plugin injects a small JavaScript that:

Monitors the CookieYes consent cookie
Checks if analytics cookies are allowed
If consent is not given, removes the __cf_bm cookie
Watches for consent changes and updates cookie status accordingly

Configuration

No configuration is needed. The plugin works automatically once activated, integrating with your existing CookieYes settings.
