About Datareporter WebCare Integration
From the official readme · v1.1.1Description
Datareporter WebCare Integration integrates your Datareporter WebCare cookie consent banner, privacy policy, and legal imprint into WordPress. WebCare is a consent management platform from Austria. You configure your consent banner, privacy policy, and imprint in WebCare, and this plugin delivers them to your WordPress site.
What the Plugin Does
- Cookie Consent Banner: Adds the WebCare consent banner to your site. The banner collects cookie consent and includes a tag manager that controls tracking scripts based on visitor consent.
- Privacy Policy: Displays your WebCare privacy policy on any page or post using the
[drwc_privacy]shortcode. When you update the privacy policy in WebCare, the changes are reflected on your site automatically. - Imprint: Displays your legal imprint using the
[drwc_imprint]shortcode. Like the privacy policy, it stays in sync with your WebCare account. - Embed Blocker: Blocks third-party embeds (YouTube, Vimeo, Twitter/X, TikTok, Google Maps) until visitors give consent. An overlay prompts visitors to allow content per provider (Feature requires WordPress 6.9 or later).
Key Technical Features
- Local Caching: Cache banner assets, privacy policy, and imprint content on your server for fewer external requests.
- Subresource Integrity (SRI): SRI support for the banner script, verifying that the banner loader has not been tampered with.
- Scheduled Cache Sync: An hourly background sync keeps cached content up to date with your WebCare account.
Shortcodes
[drwc_privacy]: Displays your privacy policy.[drwc_imprint]: Displays your imprint.
Requirements
This plugin requires an active WebCare license. You can get one at the Datareporter Store. The integration key from your WebCare account is needed during setup.
Documentation & Support
For setup instructions, configuration details, and troubleshooting on WebCare visit the WebCare Help Center.
External services
This plugin connects to the Datareporter WebCare CDN (Content Delivery Network), an external service operated by Datareporter GmbH (Austria). The CDN is a network of servers that hosts and delivers the cookie consent banner, privacy policy, and legal imprint content to your WordPress site. Because this content is created and managed in your WebCare dashboard, the plugin must fetch it from the CDN — it cannot be generated locally.
The content served by the CDN (including the cookie banner text, privacy policy, and imprint) is dynamically generated based on the settings you configure in your individual WebCare license via the WebCare dashboard. When you update your settings there, the CDN-served content updates automatically.
What the CDN is used for
The plugin uses the Datareporter WebCare CDN for three purposes:
- Cookie consent banner: The banner JavaScript, CSS, and configuration are loaded from the CDN so your consent banner appears on every page.
- Privacy policy and imprint: The plugin fetches your privacy policy and legal imprint content from the CDN and displays it on pages where you place the
[drwc_privacy]or[drwc_imprint]shortcodes. - Integration key verification: When you enter or save your integration key in the WordPress admin panel, the plugin sends a request to the CDN to verify that the key is valid so your WebCare content is reachable.
CDN domains
The plugin communicates with the following domains. The exact domain used depends on your WebCare configuration:
webcachex-eu.datareporter.euwebcachex.datareporter.euwebcache-eu.datareporter.euwebcache.datareporter.eu
For example, a request to load the banner design (stylesheet) would look like this:
https://webcachex-eu.datareporter.eu/c/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx/yyyyyyyyyyyyyyy/zzz/banner.css
where xxxx..., yyy..., zzz are parts from your individual integration key.
When data is sent
No requests are made to the CDN until a site administrator activates the plugin and enters an integration key.
Once active:
- CDN mode (default): On every page load, your visitors’ browsers send requests directly to the CDN domains listed above to load the banner script, styles, privacy policy, and imprint content.
- Cache mode (optional): Your WordPress server fetches the same resources from the CDN during an hourly background sync and serves them locally to visitors.
- Admin panel: When you save the integration key in the plugin settings, your server sends a single request to the CDN to verify the key.
What data is sent
Each request to the CDN transmits the following data:
- The IP address of the requesting party (the visitor’s browser in CDN mode, or your server in cache mode).
- Standard HTTP headers: User-Agent, Referer, and Accept-Language.
- Integration key components (client ID, organization ID, and website ID) included in the request URL.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a WebCare account to use this plugin?
Yes. The plugin requires a valid integration key from an active WebCare license. You can obtain one at store.datareporter.eu.
What content does the plugin load from external servers?
The consent banner script, privacy policy data, and imprint data are loaded from the Datareporter WebCare CDN. Local caching can be enabled to reduce external requests.
The Embed Blocker is enabled but embeds are not being blocked. What can I do?
Some plugins (e.g. Elementor) disable the WordPress template enhancement output buffer that the Embed Blocker depends on. Go to Settings > Datareporter WebCare > Embed Blocker and enable the option under the Troubleshooting section. This re-enables the buffer so the Embed Blocker can process the page content. Disable it again if it causes issues with other plugins.
Where can I get help?
Visit the WebCare Help Center for documentation and support on WebCare.
