About Cookievinci
From the official readme Β· v1.0.1Description
Cookievinci is a GDPR and KVKK compliant cookie consent plugin built on top of the open source CookieConsent v3 library by Orest Bida.
Features:
- Configurable cookie banner and preferences modal (CookieConsent v3).
- Cookie scanner: scans your home page and collects both JavaScript cookies (document.cookie) and server cookies (Set-Cookie, including HttpOnly).
- Cookie dictionary: automatically recognises popular cookies such as _ga and _fbp and suggests a category and description.
- Assign category (Necessary, Functional, Analytics, Marketing), description and duration to each cookie; add cookies manually.
- Multi-language: Turkish, English and Arabic are built in, and you can add unlimited languages from the admin panel. The banner language follows the page language when WPML or Polylang is used.
- Live preview: see the banner update instantly in the admin panel as you change settings.
- All texts and colors (every CSS variable) are customizable from the panel.
- Script management: block tracker scripts until consent, with optional automatic blocking of known scripts.
- Google Consent Mode v2, IframeManager (automatic YouTube blocking) and revision management.
- Consent logging with a unique consent ID (no IP address is stored), with search and automatic cleanup.
This plugin does not send any visitor data to external services. Consent records are stored in your own database and no IP address is kept.
Third-party libraries
This plugin bundles the following open source libraries locally (no CDN is used):
- CookieConsent v3.1.0 by Orest Bida, MIT License, https://github.com/orestbida/cookieconsent
- IframeManager v1.3.0 by Orest Bida, MIT License, https://github.com/orestbida/iframemanager
Third-Party Services
This plugin conditionally references and manages scripts from the following third-party services for consent enforcement purposes:
* Google Analytics / Google Tag Manager (Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy)
* Meta / Facebook Pixel (Privacy Policy: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy)
* Microsoft Clarity (Privacy Policy: https://clarity.microsoft.com/terms)
* Hotjar (Privacy Policy: https://www.hotjar.com/legal/policies/privacy/)
No visitor data is automatically sent to these services by this plugin; it only controls their loading state based on user consent.
Installation
- Upload the
cookievincifolder to the/wp-content/plugins/directory. - Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress.
- Open the “Cookievinci” menu to configure the settings and scan your cookies.
Frequently asked questions
Does the scanner only scan the home page?
Yes. Because tracker scripts run site-wide, the home page captures most cookies. A manual add field is available for HttpOnly cookies.
Is it compatible with caching plugins?
Yes. The banner state is read entirely on the client side. Clear your page cache after changing settings.
Changelog
Performance and compatibility fixes for consent logging (fewer requests) and the automatic script blocker (safe with WP Rocket). Recommended update.
1.0.1
- Performance: consent logging now sends a single AJAX request instead of two (nonce fetch + save); the localized nonce is used directly and a fresh nonce is only requested as a one-time fallback if the page was served from a long-lived cache. No AJAX request is sent at all when consent logging is disabled in settings.
- Fix: automatic script-blocking output buffer no longer closes a buffer opened by another plugin (e.g. WP Rocket) on top of it; buffer ownership is now verified before closing, preventing incorrect script processing order on sites running WP Rocket.
- Tested with PHP 8.4 and WordPress 7.0.2.
1.0.0
- Initial release.
