## Description

**New in 3.0** — a modern React dashboard, a 5-step setup wizard, and an audit trail
for every consent decision. Formerly known as Cookie Notice.

Compliance by Hu-manity.co gives your WordPress site a polished cookie banner that’s
compliant out of the box — and a connected Consent Management Platform (CMP) when
you need automatic script blocking, audit-ready consent records, and Google/Facebook/
Microsoft Consent Mode.

Designed for site owners and agencies who want compliance without the legalese: 
install, run the wizard, pick your laws, go live. The free banner works standalone;
connecting a free Cookie Compliance account unlocks autoblocking and audit trail
in two clicks — no credit card.

#### Why teams pick Compliance

### Set up in under 5 minutes

A guided wizard walks you through banner design, applicable laws, and consent modes.
Six banner presets, 5-position placement (top, bottom, floating L/R/center), and
live preview — no code, no jargon.

### Block cookies before consent

When connected to Cookie Compliance, non-essential scripts are paused automatically
until your visitor decides — exactly as GDPR requires. Works alongside WP Rocket,
LiteSpeed Cache, Autoptimize, NitroPack, Cloudflare Rocket Loader, Jetpack Boost,
and SG Optimizer.

### Equal accept, reject, and customize buttons

Three equal choices in the first layer of the banner. No dark patterns, no pre-ticked
boxes, no buried “reject all.” Complies with the equal-choice principle under GDPR
and similar laws.

### See every consent decision

The Audit Trail tab pulls live consent records from the platform — searchable, with
timestamps and consent levels — and exports to CSV for proof of consent.

### Google, Facebook & Microsoft Consent Mode

Configure Google Consent Mode v2, Facebook, and Microsoft consent toggles directly
from the plugin. Your ad and analytics stack keeps working while respecting visitor
choices.

### Plays nicely with WooCommerce, Site Kit & Smash Balloon

Compliance registers as a WP Consent API CMP — so when you run WooCommerce, Google
Site Kit, Burst Statistics, WP Statistics, AddToAny, Pixel Manager for WooCommerce,
or AFL UTM Tracker, they pick up your visitor’s consent state automatically. No 
per-plugin toggles, no “trust the banner” workarounds. Smash Balloon Instagram and
Twitter feeds are recognised natively by the banner; Facebook and YouTube feeds 
work via the optional legacy-cookie bridge.

### Privacy

Compliance by Hu-manity.co is a CMP client. Depending on how you use it, the plugin
may send data to Hu-manity.co services on your behalf.

**Banner Only mode** — the plugin operates entirely on your WordPress site and does
not initiate calls to Hu-manity.co.

**Connected mode (Free or Professional)** — the plugin connects to Hu-manity.co’s
platform (`*-api.hu-manity.co`) over HTTPS to handle account sign-in, banner configuration,
and consent analytics. Data sent includes account email, site URL/title/language,
application credentials, plugin version, admin UI mode (React or Legacy), and — 
for Professional signups — a one-time Braintree payment token (raw card data is 
tokenized in the browser and never reaches Hu-manity.co’s servers).

**The banner served to visitors** is loaded from `cdn.hu-manity.co/hu-banner.min.
js` and communicates directly with Hu-manity.co to record consent decisions. Because
requests originate in the visitor’s browser, the visitor’s IP is visible to Hu-manity.
co as part of standard HTTPS handling.

**Local state** — the plugin stores operational state in WordPress options/transients,
admin localStorage (setup-wizard flags), and a 5-minute `hu-form` visitor cookie
for form consent. None of this is transmitted to Hu-manity.co.

**Data the plugin does not send** — visitor IPs as data fields, page URLs, page 
content, or WordPress post/page/user content. The only third party invoked from 
the plugin is Braintree, for Professional plan signups.

**Storage location** — account and consent data are processed in the EU (AWS Ireland).
Marketing websites (hu-manity.co, cookie-compliance.co) are hosted separately in
the US.

**Your rights** — deactivate the plugin to stop sends, export consent records as
CSV, delete your account (cancels subscriptions and removes platform data), or request
visitor-data erasure under GDPR Article 17 / CCPA Delete via the privacy contact
page (processed within 30 days). Visitors can adjust their consent at any time via
the banner.

**Service providers** — Hu-manity.co (primary; [terms](https://cookie-compliance.co/terms-of-service/)·
[privacy contact](https://cookie-compliance.co/documentation/privacy-contact/)) 
and Braintree (PayPal — plugin-initiated payments only). When you manage your subscription
from the web app, additional payment gateways may apply.

## Installation

 1. Install Compliance by Hu-manity.co from the WordPress.org plugin directory, or 
    upload the files to your server.
 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu in WordPress.
 3. Open **Compliance** in the admin sidebar — the setup wizard launches automatically
    on first run.
 4. Pick a banner template, select your laws, and choose Banner Only or connect a free
    Cookie Compliance account for autoblocking and audit trail.
 5. Sign in to the Cookie Compliance web app any time to customize advanced settings.

## FAQ

### Is the plugin free?

Yes. Compliance by Hu-manity.co is free WordPress software. Cookie Compliance — 
the connected platform that adds autoblocking, audit trail, and Consent Mode — has
both a Free plan (no credit card) and paid Professional plans with higher visitor
allowances and additional features.

### How long does setup take?

Most sites are live in under five minutes. The first-run wizard handles banner template,
applicable laws, and Consent Mode setup; if you connect a Cookie Compliance account,
autoblocking turns on automatically.

### Will this make my site fully GDPR / CCPA compliant?

Banner Only is a cookie notice — it informs visitors but does not block scripts 
or store consent records. For technical compliance (block-before-consent, purpose
categories, proof-of-consent records), connect a Cookie Compliance account; the 
Free plan is enough for most small sites.

### Will it work with my caching or optimizer plugin?

Yes. The plugin sets the standard exclusion attributes for WP Rocket, LiteSpeed 
Cache, Autoptimize, NitroPack, Jetpack Boost, Cloudflare Rocket Loader, SG Optimizer,
W3 Total Cache, and Swift Performance so the banner and admin pages don’t get delayed
or stripped. Stable script IDs (`hu-banner-options`, `hu-banner-js`) are provided
for tools that need a manual exclusion keyword.

### Does it integrate with WooCommerce, Site Kit, or Smash Balloon?

Yes. Compliance registers as a WP Consent API CMP, which means WooCommerce, Google
Site Kit, Burst Statistics, WP Statistics, AddToAny, Pixel Manager for WooCommerce,
and AFL UTM Tracker automatically read your visitor’s consent state — no per-plugin
configuration. For Smash Balloon, Instagram and Twitter feeds are recognised natively;
Facebook and YouTube feeds need the optional legacy-cookie bridge enabled in the
plugin’s compatibility settings.

### What happens if I deactivate the plugin?

The banner stops loading and the plugin stops sending data to Hu-manity.co. Your
existing consent records in the Cookie Compliance web app are preserved and can 
be exported or deleted from there.

### Does the plugin support multisite?

Yes — including network-wide override of blocking data, custom patterns, and cache-
purge transients.

### Does Cookie Compliance support Google Consent Mode v2?

Yes, with Facebook and Microsoft consent modes also configurable from the plugin’s
Consent Modes panel.

### Where is my data stored?

Account and consent records are processed in the European Union (AWS Ireland region).
See the Privacy section below for full data-flow detail.

 [Corrado Prever](https://profiles.wordpress.org/artphotoasia/) മെയ്‌ 16, 2026

Il plugin “”Compliance by Hu-manity.co”” ultima versione 3.0.5 si comporta in modo
davvero strano 1) la stessa versione del plugin se viene reinstallata cambia grafica
2) il salvataggio della posizione del banner top/bottom genera un errore ajax 3)
abilitando wordfence tool su quella chiamata in whitelist l’errore scompare 4) anche
disabilitando wordfence e cache dopo aver salvato senza errore faccio il refresh
della pagina e di fatto non è stato recepito il salvataggio ed il banner finisce
sempre bottom

 [Luke](https://profiles.wordpress.org/luke820/) മാർച്ച്‌ 15, 2026

Installed it to handle the cookie notice on my site. The setup was pretty simple,
and it started working right away. Good options to customize the banner, too. Overall
works well for my needs. tnx devs.

 [Umberto](https://profiles.wordpress.org/umberto69/) മാർച്ച്‌ 4, 2026

I have a website with several flipbooks. When a user accepts or declines the banner,[
Cookie Notice & Compliance for GDPR / CCPA] modifies a JavaScript file, and the 
flipbooks no longer load. I deactivated the plugin, and all the flipbooks are visible
again and everything works properly.I asked for support, but no one responded.

After the, low, threshold is reached they will send you emails hinting that you’ll
get fined and try to scare you into buying a pro license. Untrustworthy behavior.

 [Silhouettist](https://profiles.wordpress.org/silhouettist/) ഡിസംബർ 9, 2025

I’m not a fan of increasingly of asking everybody to confirm increasingly complex
cookie options. However, it must be done! This plugin works well, makes the job 
bearable, and even the basic version has lots of customisation options so you can
make it blend well with the theme of your site.

 [jgasba](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jgasba/) ഡിസംബർ 1, 2025 1 reply

Once again a notification is polluting the dashboard. “Microsoft Clarity Enforcement
Begins October 31 — Add Consent Support Now”. I don’t really care and would prefer
to ignore it. I click the dedicated link “Ignore notification”. Which does nothing,
is hooked to no script and triggers no link. Is that a (recurring) bug or is there
something I don’t know about those links?

## Changelog

#### 3.0.6

 * Tweak: The Consent Security Policy (CSP) warning on the Compliance settings page
   now clears immediately once a valid .htaccess is detected — reloading the page,
   clicking Purge Cache, or clicking Pull Configuration each re-evaluate in real
   time.

#### 3.0.5

 * Fix: Disabling Autoblocking via the legacy settings form on multisite sites now
   saves correctly.

#### 3.0.4

 * Fix: The Compliance settings page no longer breaks on sites where Cloudflare 
   Rocket Loader or a caching/optimizer plugin (WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache, Autoptimize,
   NitroPack, SG Speed Optimizer, or Jetpack Boost) is configured to process WP 
   admin scripts. The plugin’s admin bundle now signals these tools to skip it, 
   extending the same banner-script protection added in 3.0.3.
 * Fix: If the Compliance settings page fails to load, you now see a “Loading Compliance
   dashboard…” message that reveals troubleshooting steps (caching plugin, browser
   extension, incognito mode) and a link to support — replacing the silent white
   screen some users hit when a CDN, optimizer, or browser extension blocked the
   admin bundle.

For the full version history including 3.0.0 rebrand notes and prior 2.x releases,
