    Cookie Consent v0.0.2 — Theme shield Stable

    Robin released this 2026-08-30 20:53:37 +02:00 | 0 commits to main since this release

    Second release. Two fixes to how the banner renders inside a theme, plus the
    value+unit "Custom" option on every appearance scale.

    The banner now looks the same on the front as in the preview

    The banner is a plugin-owned island dropped into an unknown theme, and styling
    bare button is a near-universal theme habit — frequently through selectors
    that outrank a plain class. Any layout property the banner did not set itself
    could be taken over by the theme, and the admin preview could never warn you:
    it renders in wp-admin, where no theme stylesheet is loaded. So the preview
    promised one banner and the front delivered another.

    On a theme giving buttons a min-width, that meant a close (×) stretched across
    the whole header, action buttons stacking one per row instead of sharing a line,
    and the "continue without accepting" link rendered as a wide centred block.

    The banner's controls are now shielded from theme layout rules — widths,
    margins, letter-spacing, native appearance and the rest — without a single
    !important. Colours, font family and sizes are deliberately not shielded:
    those still come from your theme through the plugin's CSS variables, so the
    FSE-first "looks native with zero configuration" behaviour is unchanged.

    If your banner already looked right, nothing changes.

    Closing the banner is no longer the highlighted default

    The banner used to hand focus to its first control when it opened. That control
    is the close (×) — which counts as refusing everything. Browsers drew a focus
    ring around it, so the most visually prominent thing in the banner was refusal,
    and it was the default keyboard action too.

    The banner now takes focus itself. The × keeps a proper focus ring when you
    actually tab to it.

    New: close-button size

    The × has joined the appearance controls: Small / Medium / Large, or Custom with
    your own value and unit. The default matches the previous size exactly.

    Since closing the banner counts as refusing everything, a discreet × next to
    clearly-presented choices is the better default — this makes that adjustable.

    Also in this release

    • Custom + unit on every appearance scale. Width, spacing (padding/gap),
      text and title size, and corner radius each offer a Custom option backed by a
      value + unit control, alongside a free-text font family. The live preview
      resolves them exactly as the front does.
    • "Continue without accepting" outside the box — an extra placement pinning
      the refusal link to the top of the viewport (the French press pattern), with
      its own colour option.
    • CAPTCHA fixes. A CAPTCHA rule set to "always blocked" now renders nothing
      instead of a dead "Accept & load" button, and the admin warns you when a
      CAPTCHA rule is set that way.
    • Cookies tab: scan and list merged into one view, an "Ignore" status to hide
      a cookie from visitors, and a shorter, less unwieldy editor.

    Upgrading

    Update from wp-admin as usual. If you run a page-cache or CSS-minify plugin,
    purge its cache afterwards — the previous banner stylesheet is otherwise frozen
    in the minified bundle.

    Cookie Consent v0.0.1 — First release Stable

    Robin released this 2026-08-01 04:07:36 +02:00 | 2 commits to main since this release

    First packaged release — an early one, as the version number says. The plugin is
    feature-complete for its scope and builds clean, but it hasn't been through a
    long production shakedown yet. Install it where you can keep an eye on it.

    What it does

    A lean, opinionated GDPR / ePrivacy consent plugin: an opt-in banner, a real
    blocking engine, and proof of consent — without the weight of a full consent
    platform.

    • Opt-in by default. Nothing optional loads until the visitor agrees.
    • Blocking engine that neutralises third-party <script> and <iframe> tags
      before consent and re-activates them on acceptance. Blocked embeds show a
      sized, click-to-load placeholder naming the source — including CAPTCHAs
      (Turnstile / reCAPTCHA / hCaptcha), rendered inside their own widget. Crawlers
      get the unmodified page, and the blocking is page-cache-safe.
    • Auto-detect — scan your site (database content, or by visiting pages) to
      find third-party scripts and embeds, then add them as rules in one click.
    • FSE-first appearance. The banner inherits your block theme's colours,
      fonts and buttons, so it looks native with zero configuration. Light / Dark /
      Midnight / Ocean / Sand / Custom themes, position and edge offsets, width,
      density, corners, entrance animations and a live preview are all there when
      you want them.
    • Proof of consent (on by default) — one record per event with an anonymous
      subject ID, the granular per-purpose decisions, the act, and the exact banner
      as the visitor saw it. Hashed or full IP, ~13-month renewal, configurable
      retention, and an audit view with CSV export.
    • WP Consent API mirroring, for plugins that read consent from it.

    Requires PHP 8.2+ and WordPress 6.8+.

    Install

    Download the ZIP below, then Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin. Nothing is
    blocked until rules exist, and the banner only appears once there is something
    to manage — so start with Settings → Cookie Consent → Cookies → Auto-detect.

    From here on the plugin updates itself: new versions appear under Plugins and
    Dashboard → Updates, pulled from
    git.lrob.net/WP/cookie-consent.
