Frequently asked questions
Does this make my site GDPR compliant?
Cirv Comply handles cookie consent, consent logging, and privacy policy generation — three major GDPR requirements. Full GDPR compliance also requires proper data processing agreements, security measures, and organizational policies.
Do visitors see the banner on every visit?
No. Once a visitor makes a choice (accept, reject, or custom), a cookie stores their preference. The banner won’t appear again until the cookie expires (default: 365 days).
Is the consent log GDPR compliant?
Yes. IP addresses are stored as SHA-256 hashes using WordPress salts. This provides proof of consent for regulators without storing identifiable personal data.
Does the banner slow down my site?
No. The banner uses vanilla JavaScript (no jQuery) and inline CSS. There are no external API calls, no CDN dependencies, and no render-blocking resources.
Can I customize the banner appearance?
Yes. You can change background color, text color, button color, banner text, button labels, and position (bottom, top, corner popup).
Does this block cookies before consent?
The current version shows a consent banner and logs preferences. For automatic script/cookie blocking before consent, upgrade to Pro which integrates with your analytics and marketing scripts.
What happens when someone clicks “Reject”?
Only the “Necessary” cookie category is accepted. The consent cookie itself is set (to remember their choice), but analytics, marketing, and other categories are marked as rejected.
Can other plugins check consent status?
Yes! Use the cirvco_has_consent('analytics') function in your theme or plugin code to check if a visitor has consented to a specific category.
