Install straight from GitHub with WP-CLI:
wp plugin install https://github.com/xyjax-digital-media/xyjax-consent-logger/archive/refs/heads/main.zipNo built-in updater. New versions won't appear under Dashboard → Updates. Install new releases yourself, or let Git Updater track the repository.

Notes
This project was created as an experiment to evaluate whether a lightweight GPL alternative to commercial consent plugins could satisfy the needs of small WordPress sites without recurring fees or upsells.
As of May 2026, the proof-of-concept successfully displayed a consent banner, stored consent preferences, logged consent records, and exported records to CSV.
