Frequently asked questions
Does it work without any configuration?
Yes! The cookie bar appears automatically with sensible defaults as soon as you activate the plugin.
Is it GDPR compliant?
Consentico provides the UI for cookie consent. For full GDPR compliance, you should also have a Privacy Policy page and use the Google Analytics blocking feature to prevent tracking before consent.
Does it use jQuery?
No. Consentico uses pure vanilla JavaScript — no jQuery dependency, faster loading.
How is the user’s choice stored?
The choice is stored in a browser cookie for the duration you set (default 1 year). The bar won’t appear again until the cookie expires.
Can I block Google Analytics until the user accepts?
Yes. Enter your GA4 Measurement ID and enable “Block Until Accepted” in the Compliance tab.
