## Description
Clarke Cookie Consent asks visitors for permission before any non-essential cookies
are set, as the UK GDPR,
PECR and the ICO’s guidance require.
* A cookie banner with **Accept all** and **Reject all** buttons given equal prominence.
* A preferences panel where visitors choose by category: Necessary (always on),
Analytics and Marketing.
* Tracking scripts are held back until the visitor accepts their category – nothing
runs on page load.
* A small cookie settings button on every page, so visitors can change or withdraw
their choice at any time.
Withdrawing consent removes the tracking cookies the
site set and reloads the page.
* A Cookie Policy page is created for you when the plugin is activated, ready for
you to review.
* Works with page caching – the choice is read in the visitor’s browser, not on
the server.
#### Blocking your scripts
Paste tracking code (Google Analytics, Meta Pixel and so on) into Settings > Cookie
Consent > Scripts, under
the right category. It is added to every page, but only
runs once the visitor accepts that category.
Scripts already in your theme can be blocked by changing the script tag to:
```
```
using `analytics` or `marketing` as the category.
#### Changing the choice later
As well as the floating button, you can add a button anywhere with the shortcode`[
cd_cookie_settings]`,
link a menu item to `#cd-cookie-settings`, or give any element
the class `cd-cookie-settings`.
#### For developers
* `window.cdCookieConsent.hasConsent( 'analytics' )`, `.getConsent()` and `.showPreferences()`.
* Document events `cd-cookie-consent:ready` and `cd-cookie-consent:change` (the
choice is in `event.detail.consent`).
* Filters `cd_cookie_consent_categories` and `cd_cookie_consent_clear_cookies`.
* Colours can be changed with CSS variables such as `--cd-cc-accent` and `--cd-
cc-bg`.
A Pro add-on adds banner position and colour options, and holds back YouTube videos
and Google Maps until visitors consent.

## Installation
1. Upload the plugin zip from Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin.
2. Activate the plugin. A Cookie Policy page is created and linked from the banner.
3. Go to Settings > Cookie Consent to add your tracking scripts and adjust the wording.
4. Review the Cookie Policy page and list the cookies your website uses.
## FAQ
### Does this make my website compliant?
It gives you the tools the ICO expects – opt-in consent, an equally easy way to
refuse, and a way to change
your mind – but you still need to block every non-essential
script and describe your cookies accurately.
### What happens to the Cookie Policy page if I delete the plugin?
The page is kept, as it’s your content. All of the plugin’s settings are removed.
