WP Consent API: Essential Compliance Tool for WordPress
WP Consent API is a WordPress plugin designed to enhance the management of user consent across various plugins. This tool standardizes how consent categories are communicated, ensuring that plugins can work together effectively to comply with privacy regulations. It requires a cookie banner plugin and at least one other plugin that supports the WP Consent API, facilitating improved compliance with laws like GDPR. The plugin does not handle consent directly but provides essential insights into which plugins are compliant with the API, aiding webmasters in achieving better compliance on their sites.
The plugin addresses key issues in consent management, particularly how it interacts with third-party services and cookies. It allows for a more streamlined approach to consent management, enabling plugins to check and register consent categories dynamically. By using hooks and filters, developers can easily integrate the API into their plugins, making it a flexible solution for WordPress sites. With existing integrations for popular consent management providers and a demo site available, WP Consent API offers a practical solution for managing user consent efficiently.
