Free GDPR WordPress cookie consent plugin

Kansleri Cookie Consent is Free no-bloat cookie consent plugin for WordPress

I created Kansleri Cookie Consent because I saw that there is a demand for it. Most other plugins require you to register, make an account, pay for the pro-version and they still show you ads and spam you WordPress back end.

I wanted none of that.

Kansleri Cookie consent is totally free and has the same features as the big cookie consent. It’s also hidden under the settings tab in your WordPress back end.

Lightweight cookie consent for WordPress. Privacy-friendly, fast, and easy to configure.

Made by me (Tapio Kauranen tapiokauranen.com) and it’s called Kansleri because that’s the name of my advertising agency 🙂

All the features:

• Made by me (Tapio) who pinky promises to keep this free plugin updated.
• Three banner styles: bottom bar, centered modal, corner popup
• Customizable colors, texts, and button labels
• Plugin or Theme typography mode for consistent banner styling (Plugin style is the default)
• Four consent categories: Necessary, Analytics, Marketing, Preferences
• Script auto-blocking — prevents third-party scripts from running until consent is given, including WordPress-enqueued scripts and raw HTML scripts from page builders (Bricks, Elementor, custom code injectors)
• YouTube & Vimeo iframe blocking — video embeds are blocked until marketing cookies are accepted, with a user-friendly placeholder
• Google Consent Mode v2 integration with automatic default/update signals
• GTM dataLayer push on consent changes
• Integration tab recommends Google Site Kit (Google’s official WordPress plugin) for installing Google Analytics 4 and Google Tag Manager, so Consent Mode v2 signals work out of the box without manual GTM snippet management
• Built-in cookie scanner that auto-identifies common cookies (Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, WordPress core, and more) — including cookies from consent-blocked scripts via service inference
• AI-assisted cookie descriptions — copy a prompt, paste into an AI tool, import the result
• AI-assisted policy page generation — generate a complete cookie/privacy policy page with one prompt
• Auto-generated cookie policy page with a dynamic shortcode (theme styling by default; plugin styling optional)
• Floating settings button for visitors to update preferences (on by default)
• Cookie settings shortcode — add a cookie settings link anywhere (footer, menu, etc.) with customizable text
• “Edit cookie preferences” button on the policy page for easy consent withdrawal
• Per-user consent logging — anonymized audit trail for GDPR compliance with CSV export
• Consent statistics dashboard (no personal data stored)
• Graceful multilingual policy page fallback — if a language is missing a translated policy page, the banner links to the default-language page instead of a 404
• Google Site Kit integration — auto-detects and avoids duplicate consent signals
• WP Consent API integration — shares consent status with other plugins
• Full WPML and Polylang support — per-language banner texts, cookie descriptions, banner style, colors, and policy page
• Finnish translation included with auto-localized defaults
• Daily cron check for missing cookie descriptions with admin notifications
• Comprehensive documentations tab with installation guide, option explanations, and troubleshooting
• Clean uninstall — removes all data when deleted
