Description
A fully self-contained cookie banner for WordPress — no account, no registration, no phone-home. The banner logic ships inside the plugin and runs entirely on your own server.
What sets it apart from other cookie plugins: a built-in compliance scanner that checks your whole website against 14 German and EU laws — GDPR (DSGVO), BDSG, TDDDG, DDG, the EU AI Act (KI-VO), BFSG, UWG, BGB, UrhG, VerpackG, ElektroG, JuSchG, PAngV and VSBG. You see the results directly in your WordPress admin.
Features
- Blocks trackers before consent — recognizes the most common trackers (Google Analytics/gtag, Google Tag Manager container, Google Ads, Meta/Facebook Pixel, TikTok Pixel, LinkedIn Insight, Microsoft Clarity, Bing, Hotjar, Pinterest, Jetpack Stats, Matomo/Piwik) by their script source and holds the
<script>tag itself back (type="text/plain") until the matching category is accepted — not just a signal sent after the fact - Accept / Reject / Settings — three clearly balanced buttons, as required by GDPR Art. 7
- Google Consent Mode v2 — sends the correct signals to
gtag()when it is installed - Shopify Customer Privacy API — syncs with
Shopify.customerPrivacy.setTrackingConsent()on WooCommerce-Shopify hybrid setups - Configurable categories — turn Analytics / Marketing / Functional on or off
- localStorage-based consent — the plugin sets no cookies of its own and makes no server calls
- Light / Dark mode — respects the visitor’s
prefers-color-scheme - Translation-ready — ships with German and English, more languages via the included
.potfile
What script blocking does NOT cover (stated plainly)
- A self-hosted or otherwise unlisted tracker is not recognized and not touched.
- Tags configured inside Google Tag Manager are invisible to us — only the GTM container load itself is blocked; if a GTM tag fires trackers of its own, that is between the site owner and their GTM configuration.
- Third-party
<iframe>embeds (YouTube, Google Maps, …) are out of scope for this version. - Add
data-dsgvo-skipto any<script>tag to exempt it by hand, and the « Block trackers before consent » checkbox under Settings DSGVO.pro Banner turns the whole feature off if it ever conflicts with something on your site.
Pro features (optional)
If you create an account on dsgvo.pro, you can unlock the following with a SiteID:
- Compliance score badge in the banner
- Unlimited scans (free tier = one scan on install)
- Monitoring alerts — an email when your score drops after a deployment
- Auto categories — the plugin derives the categories your site needs from the scan
Pro runs through the same plugin — just enter your SiteID in the settings.
Privacy
In the free version this plugin sends no data to external servers. The banner logic runs entirely locally. The only outbound calls are:
- Scan button (optional, only when you click it) ->
POST https://dsgvo.pro/api/scan/public - Pro activation (optional, only when you enter a SiteID) -> handshake with
https://dsgvo.pro/api/banner/<siteId>

FAQ
-
Do I need an account on dsgvo.pro?
-
No. The free version works fully without registration. You only need an account for the Pro features (score badge, monitoring, unlimited scans).
-
Does the plugin send data to DSGVO.pro?
-
No, not in the free version. The banner logic lives locally in the plugin and is served by your own server. DSGVO.pro is only contacted when you explicitly click the scan button or enter a Pro SiteID.
-
Does it work with WooCommerce / Elementor / Divi / etc.?
-
Yes. The plugin injects the banner via
wp_enqueue_scripts, which is compatible with all themes and page builders. -
No. The banner provides the technical GDPR compliance of the consent flow. Whether your website as a whole is GDPR compliant is checked by the built-in scanner — but that does not replace individual legal advice either.

I found a bug / have a feature request?

Historique des changements
1.0.3
- Script blocking now also recognizes Jetpack Stats (
stats.wp.com,_stq.push) and self-hosted Matomo/Piwik (_paq.push) — Jetpack Stats was the tracker found live and unblocked on a real client site that started this feature, and it was missing from the 1.0.2 list - No other behaviour change
1.0.2
- Consent-gated script blocking: the plugin now recognizes the most common trackers (Google Analytics/gtag, Google Tag Manager container, Google Ads, Meta/Facebook Pixel, TikTok Pixel, LinkedIn Insight, Microsoft Clarity, Bing, Hotjar, Pinterest) and holds their
<script>tags back (type="text/plain") until the matching category is accepted, instead of only signaling consent to them after they may already have loaded - New « Block trackers before consent » setting (on by default) with an honest description of what it does and does not cover, plus a
data-dsgvo-skipescape hatch for any script tag - No change to existing categories, Consent Mode v2, or Shopify Privacy API behaviour
1.0.1
- Full German translation of the admin scan panel and the cookie banner (previously only partially localized)
- German now renders for every German locale, including Deutsch (Sie) / de_DE_formal, de_AT and de_CH
- Hardened translated strings against markup injection before they reach the page
- No changes to the banner behaviour or the data it stores
1.0.0
- Initial release
- Cookie banner with Accept / Reject / Settings
- Google Consent Mode v2 integration
- Shopify Customer Privacy API sync
- German and English translations
- WP admin settings for categories and badge
