## Description

**Replai – Cookie Consent** is a privacy-first cookie consent plugin — a self-hosted
alternative to subscription-based consent services. The banner, the consent log 
and the prior blocking all run on your own WordPress by default: no external calls
are made unless you explicitly connect the optional REPLAI service (see “External
services”).

 * **Prior blocking (before consent):** the most common third-party scripts (Google
   Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel, Google Ads, LinkedIn, TikTok, Hotjar,
   Microsoft Clarity, Matomo, YouTube, Vimeo, Google Maps…) are automatically neutralized
   until the visitor consents. Add extra domains with one line each.
 * **Google Consent Mode v2 (Basic or Advanced):** consent state is set to “denied”
   by default and updated automatically when the visitor chooses, so Google Analytics
   4 and Google Ads receive the correct signals. In **Advanced** mode (recommended)
   Google tags are allowed to load and send cookieless pings (with `url_passthrough`
   and `ads_data_redaction`), recovering anonymous data and modeling conversions
   even before consent, while every other tracker stays blocked.
 * **Region-based consent:** ask for prior consent everywhere, or opt-in only in
   the EU/EEA/UK/Switzerland and opt-out where the law allows it (more conversions
   outside the EU). Visitor country is detected from a hosting/CDN header (Cloudflare
   and others) with a filter to plug in your own GeoIP; if there is no signal, prior
   consent is applied for safety.
 * **Granular categories:** Necessary (always on), Preferences, Statistics and Marketing,
   with an “Accept all”, “Reject all” and “Customize” flow.
 * **Consent log (GDPR proof):** every consent is stored locally (date, policy version,
   choices, hashed IP, page) and can be exported to CSV. IP addresses are never 
   stored in plain text (hashed with a plugin-specific salt).
 * **Fully customizable banner:** bottom bar or corner box, light/dark theme, accent
   color, custom title and message, links to your privacy and cookie policies.
 * **Embeddable cookie declaration:** the `[replai_cookie_declaration]` shortcode
   renders a ready-to-paste page for your cookie policy — a table per category with
   provider, purpose, duration and type for every declared cookie, plus the visitor’s
   current consent (per-category status, consent ID and date). `[replai_cookie_settings]`
   reopens the preferences panel.
 * **Global Privacy Control (GPC):** the US GPC browser signal is honored automatically—
   non-essential categories are rejected and logged without an intrusive banner.
 * **Automatic banner language:** the banner follows the visitor’s browser language
   across 7 languages, independently of the site language.
 * **Optional REPLAI monitoring:** if you are a REPLAI customer, you can add a REPLAI
   token to monitor this installation from your REPLAI dashboard. This is off by
   default; nothing is sent unless you add a token.

### External services

This plugin can optionally connect to **REPLAI** (https://app.replai.net), a service
by REPLAI, to let REPLAI customers monitor their cookie-consent installation from
the REPLAI dashboard.

This connection is **optional and disabled by default**. No data is sent to REPLAI
unless the site administrator explicitly enters a REPLAI token in Settings  Banner“
REPLAI connection”. If the token field is empty, the plugin makes no external calls.

When a token is configured, the plugin contacts REPLAI in these cases:

 * When you save or test the token: a request is sent to validate the token (the
   token/API key is sent).
 * Periodically (a daily WordPress cron event) and in real time when a visitor gives
   consent: the plugin sends site information (site URL, site name, WordPress/PHP/
   plugin versions, locale and the banner settings), consent aggregates (totals 
   and per-category opt-ins) and individual consent events (consent id, date, chosen
   categories, method, page URL, a hashed IP — never the raw IP — and the browser
   language).

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin to `/wp-content/plugins/` or install it from the Plugins screen.
 2. Activate it.
 3. Go to **Replai Cookies  Settings** and configure the banner, categories and policy
    links.
 4. If you were using another cookie banner service, deactivate it and remove its header
    script — your third-party scripts will be blocked automatically until consent.

## FAQ

### Does it send data to any external service?

By default, no — the plugin is fully self-hosted and consents are stored in your
own database. It only connects to the optional REPLAI service if you explicitly 
add a REPLAI token (see “External services”). With no token, no data leaves your
site.

### Does it work with Google Analytics 4 / Google Ads?

Yes. Keep Google Consent Mode v2 enabled and the plugin will signal consent automatically.

### How do I add scripts that are not blocked by default?

Settings  Scripts, add a line `domain|category` (category = preferences, statistics
or marketing).

## Changelog

A full changelog is also available in CHANGELOG.md.

#### 1.3.1

 * Clicking outside the panel now closes it without changes **only when a consent
   choice was already made** (e.g. reopening from the floating button). On the first
   visit, clicking outside does not dismiss the banner and never counts as acceptance—
   a choice is still required.

#### 1.3.0

 * **Region-based consent is now the default:** prior consent (opt-in) in the EU/
   EEA/UK/Switzerland via Google’s native region defaults, and opt-out where the
   law allows it — more conversions outside the EU while EU visitors keep full prior
   consent. Non-Google trackers stay blocked until consent when no country signal
   is available. You can switch back to “prior consent everywhere” from the settings.
 * **Embeddable cookie declaration** via the `[replai_cookie_declaration]` shortcode:
   a ready-to-paste table per category (Necessary, Preferences, Statistics, Marketing)
   listing each declared cookie with provider, purpose, duration and type — plus
   a “Your consent” block showing the per-category status, the consent ID and the
   date (filled from the stored consent).
 * **Global Privacy Control (GPC) support:** when a visitor has not consented yet
   and their browser sends the GPC signal, non-essential categories are automatically
   rejected and logged, without showing an intrusive banner. The floating button
   still lets them change their choice. Can be turned off from the new “Advanced
   compliance” card.
 * **Automatic banner language:** the banner is now shown in the visitor’s browser
   language across 7 languages (English, Spanish, Catalan, French, Italian, Portuguese,
   German), independently of the site language. Any custom title/message set by 
   the admin still takes precedence and is not translated. Can be disabled to fall
   back to the site locale.
 * **Expanded auto-blocking:** many more known trackers are blocked by default —
   Plausible, Segment, FullStory, LogRocket, Amplitude, Heap, Yandex Metrica, WordPress
   Stats (statistics); Bing Ads, Pinterest, Twitter/X Ads, Criteo, Taboola, Outbrain,
   AdRoll, Reddit, Quora (marketing); Disqus, SoundCloud, Spotify embeds (preferences).
 * **Consent log CSV export:** the consent log can be streamed to a CSV file (consent
   id, date, language, per-category choices, method, policy version and hashed IP—
   never a raw IP).

#### 1.2.0

 * Google Consent Mode **Advanced** (recommended, new default): Google tags are 
   no longer blocked, so they load and send cookieless pings, recovering anonymous
   data and modeling conversions even before consent. Adds `gtag('set','url_passthrough',
   true)` and `gtag('set','ads_data_redaction', ...)`. A **Basic** mode keeps the
   previous behavior (Google tags fully blocked until consent). Every non-Google
   tracker (Meta, Hotjar, TikTok…) is still blocked in both modes.
 * **Region-based consent with Google-native region defaults:** in geo mode the 
   plugin emits a global `granted` consent default plus a `denied` override with`
   region:[EU/EEA/UK/CH]`, so Google itself applies prior consent only where required—
   no dependency on hosting geo headers. It also reads the visitor country from 
   hosting/CDN headers (Cloudflare `CF-IPCountry`, GeoIP, App Engine…) with a `replai_cc_visitor_country`
   filter to gate non-Google trackers; when there is no signal, prior consent is
   applied for safety.
 * Mixpanel domains added to the Statistics blocklist.
 * Both options are configured from a new “Google Consent Mode & regions” card in
   the admin panel.

#### 1.1.0

 * New gradient hero header (REPLAI logo in white plus version and release chips)
   on the Settings, About, Help and Consent log screens.
 * The whole admin (menu items, Settings, About and Help) is now translated to the
   site language right away through an internal string table, without waiting for
   translate.wordpress.org.
 * New commercial About page: intro, a grid of four features and a final call-to-
   action — always making clear that connecting REPLAI is optional.
 * Token validation reworked: it now runs over AJAX without reloading the page, 
   saves the token automatically on success and disables the Test button while the
   token field is empty.
 * Added a soft, optional call-to-action on the Settings screen when no token is
   set, inviting you to (optionally) connect this site to REPLAI. The plugin keeps
   working 100% self-hosted with no token.
 * Added multilingual WordPress.org banners (Spanish, Catalan, French, Italian, 
   Portuguese and English base).

#### 1.0.26

 * Fixed the last Plugin Check notice: annotated the one-off schema migration query.
   The plugin now passes Plugin Check with no errors or warnings.

#### 1.0.25

 * Added a friendly, dismissible invitation on the plugin’s Settings screen (shown
   after 30 days of use) to enable the optional “Powered by REPLAI” credit. The 
   credit remains opt-in and disabled by default; enabling it is always an explicit
   admin action.
 * Code quality pass (Plugin Check): all database queries now use $wpdb->prepare()
   with identifier placeholders, the CSV export no longer uses direct file handles,
   translator comments added, and template variables prefixed. Minimum WordPress
   version is now 6.2.

#### 1.0.24

 * Compliance and privacy pass: the optional “Powered by REPLAI” credit is opt-in
   and disabled by default; the optional REPLAI connection is documented under “
   External services” with terms and privacy links; IP hashing uses a plugin-specific
   salt; translations are served by WordPress.org.

#### 1.0.23

 * The banner and the floating button now render inside a Shadow DOM, providing 
   full style isolation between the plugin and the site theme.

#### 1.0.22

 * Floating reopen button redesigned: cookie icon with side and bottom styles, three
   sizes and a styled tooltip.
 * Banner buttons hardened against aggressive theme CSS.
 * Consent aggregates are now kept accurate in real time.

#### 1.0.16

 * Cookie declaration: each category shows its cookie count and can be expanded 
   by provider (name, description, storage duration and type), with a built-in catalog
   of common cookies and support for custom entries.
 * The visitor’s language is now recorded with each consent (locally and in the 
   CSV export).
 * Smoother preferences area: collapsible sections and internal scrolling for long
   cookie lists.

#### 1.0.12

 * Optional REPLAI connection for REPLAI customers: token validation, connection
   status card with on-demand test, and installation monitoring (site info, consent
   aggregates and events with hashed IPs, daily heartbeat).
 * Optional “Powered by REPLAI” credit in the banner.
 * Refreshed admin design aligned with the REPLAI plugin family; native WordPress
   color picker for the accent color.

#### 1.0.6

 * Initial public release: consent banner with granular categories, prior blocking
   of third-party scripts, Google Consent Mode v2, local consent log with CSV export
   and shortcodes.
 * Banner as bottom bar or corner box (right/left) and floating reopen button with
   position and style options.
 * Live page search for the privacy and cookie policy fields.
 * Available in English, Spanish, French, Catalan, Italian and Portuguese.
