About Bikram Cookie Consent Banner
From the official readme · v1.0.0Description
Bikram Cookie Consent Banner is a lightweight cookie consent banner for WordPress. It lets visitors accept or customize cookie categories (Necessary, Analytics, Marketing, Preferences), only loads Google Analytics / Facebook Pixel after the relevant consent is given, and can optionally log consent events for compliance record-keeping.
Features
- Five banner styles (minimal bar, floating card, glassmorphism, dark mode, full-screen overlay)
- Per-category consent (Analytics, Marketing, Preferences), with Necessary always on
- Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel are only injected after the visitor consents to the relevant category
- Optional consent logging to your database, viewable from the admin area
- Built-in cookie policy text generator
- Settings export/import (handy for agencies deploying the same configuration across client sites)
- Optional EU/UK-only geo-targeting, resolved entirely server-side from CDN/host headers (no third-party lookup) so the banner only shows where it’s legally required
[bikrco_cookie_button]shortcode to let visitors reopen their cookie preferences at any time- No upsells, no premium tier — the whole plugin is free
External services
This plugin can connect to the following third-party services:
Google Analytics (optional, off by default)
If you enter a Google Analytics Measurement ID and the visitor consents to Analytics cookies, this plugin loads the Google Analytics tracking script (https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js) and sends standard Google Analytics data to Google. See Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
Facebook Pixel (optional, off by default)
If you enter a Facebook Pixel ID and the visitor consents to Marketing cookies, this plugin loads the Facebook Pixel script (https://connect.facebook.net) and sends standard Facebook Pixel data to Meta. See Meta’s privacy policy: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy/
No data is sent to any of these services unless you configure the corresponding feature, and unless the visitor has given the relevant consent. The optional “Geo-targeting (EU/UK only)” setting does not call any external service: it reads a country header your host or CDN (e.g. Cloudflare’s CF-IPCountry) may already attach to the request, entirely server-side. If no such header is present, the banner is shown to everyone.
Installation
- Upload the
bikram-cookie-consent-bannerfolder to/wp-content/plugins/, or install it directly from Plugins → Add New. - Activate the plugin through the “Plugins” menu in WordPress.
- Go to Cookie Consent → Settings to configure your banner text, style, and cookie categories.
- (Optional) Add your Google Analytics ID and/or Facebook Pixel ID if you use those services.
- (Optional) Enable geo-targeting if you only want the banner shown to EU/UK visitors — this only works if your host or CDN attaches a country header to requests (e.g. Cloudflare); otherwise the banner is shown to everyone by default.
Frequently asked questions
Does this plugin block cookies automatically?
Bikram Cookie Consent Banner controls whether the Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel scripts it manages are loaded, based on visitor consent. It does not scan your site for other cookies/scripts set by themes or other plugins; for full compliance, review all cookies your site sets.
Where are consent logs stored?
In a table in your own WordPress database ({prefix}bikrco_logs), only if consent logging is enabled in Settings. Logs are not sent anywhere off your site.
What happens to my data if I uninstall the plugin?
Uninstalling the plugin (not just deactivating it) removes all of its settings and the consent log table.
Is this plugin free?
Yes, 100% free with no premium tier or upsells.
Will this slow down my site?
The front-end banner ships as a single small CSS file and a dependency-free (no jQuery) JS file — under 10kb combined, about 3kb gzipped — only loaded for visitors who haven’t consented yet. Once a choice is saved, neither file loads again on that visit. (The rest of the plugin, including the admin screens and consent logger, is server-side PHP and never reaches the front end at all.)
Is this plugin translation-ready?
Yes. All visible strings use WordPress’s standard translation functions and the bikram-cookie-consent-banner text domain, so it can be translated via WordPress.org’s translation platform or a plugin like Loco Translate.
I found a bug or have a feature request — where do I report it?
Please use this plugin’s Support forum here on WordPress.org. Include your WordPress version, PHP version, and steps to reproduce if it’s a bug.
