How to add a GDPR cookie banner to WordPress

If you’re here, you probably have a WordPress site and need to display a cookie banner in order to comply with laws like the GDPR, the ePrivacy (Cookie Law) and the CCPA.

Cookie banner wordpress: why do you need one?

🔍 Did you know this?

• Not only must the banner inform users about cookies, it should also block all cookie scripts from running before obtaining user’s consent.
• If you target Californian users, the notice should also contain the CCPA “Do Not Sell My Personal Information” opt-out link.

🚀 Luckily, our cookie consent plugin for WordPress simplifies and manages all of these compliance requirements within a few clicks!

Let’s take a quick look at how to set it up.

Set up your cookie banner on WordPress

• Install the Privacy Controls and Cookie Solution plugin from the WordPress plugin repository (it’s free!);
• In the WordPress Admin panel, click on Plugins > Add New Plugin > iubenda | All-in-one Compliance for GDPR / CCPA Cookie Consent + more. Install and activate it;
• Start the scan of your website;
• Go on, create and personalize your cookie banner by activating iubenda’s solutions;
• Integrate the script on your site and… you’re good to go!

🎉 Once set up, the plugin will begin to show the banner to users that visit your site for the first time without the need for any other further configurations.
