## Description
SureCookie is a WordPress cookie consent plugin that helps you scan cookies, display
a customizable cookie banner, block non-essential scripts before consent, and store
consent logs inside your WordPress database.
It is built for site owners, E-commerce stores, agencies, bloggers, and WordPress
professionals who want more than a basic cookie notice. SureCookie helps you understand
what cookies and third-party services are running on your site, lets visitors manage
their choices, and gives you a practical consent workflow without visitor-based
pricing.

#### Not Just a Cookie Banner
A cookie notice can tell visitors that your site uses cookies, but that alone does
not manage consent properly. If analytics scripts, marketing pixels, video embeds,
maps, or tag manager scripts run before visitors choose, the banner is only cosmetic.
SureCookie is built to connect the banner with the rest of the consent workflow.
It helps you scan your WordPress site, review detected cookies, block non-essential
scripts before consent, store consent logs locally, and keep your cookie policy
easier to maintain.
#### How SureCookie Works
SureCookie follows a simple WordPress cookie consent workflow:
1. Scan selected pages with the real browser cookie scanner.
2. Review detected cookies, scripts, resources, and third-party domains.
3. Organize cookies into consent categories such as Essential, Functional, Analytics,
and Marketing.
4. Enable script blocking so non-essential scripts wait for consent.
5. Show the cookie consent banner and preference modal to visitors.
6. Store consent logs locally in WordPress for review and export.
7. Generate or connect a cookie policy page that reflects your cookie setup.
This makes SureCookie more than a WordPress cookie banner. It works as a practical
consent management plugin for cookie scanning, cookie blocking, consent records,
and policy support.
#### Why SureCookie?
Many cookie banner plugins focus only on the visitor-facing notice. SureCookie focuses
on what happens before and after that notice: cookie detection, script blocking,
consent management, local consent logs, and policy support.
It covers the full cookie consent workflow:
* Scan selected pages to detect cookies, scripts, and third-party services
* Review cookies by category, with scan history, before publishing them to visitors
* Block scripts, iframes, embeds, and objects before consent
* Show a customizable cookie banner and preference modal
* Let visitors accept all, decline, or choose specific categories
* Support GDPR and CCPA cookie consent workflows
* Store consent logs locally in WordPress
* Generate a cookie policy page with dynamic cookie tables
* Re-request consent when your policy or setup changes
* Support Google Consent Mode and WP Consent API
* Run without visitor-based limits
#### Free Features Included
The WordPress.org version of SureCookie includes the core consent workflow:
* Cookie consent banner: Show a clean banner or notice for visitors.
* Preference modal: Let visitors review and manage cookie categories.
* Accept, Accept All, Decline, and Preferences buttons: Control the button text
and order.
* Real browser cookie scanner: Scan selected pages using a browser-based scanning
service.
* Cookie categories: Use Essential, Functional, Analytics, Marketing, and Uncategorized
categories.
* Custom cookies: Add and manage cookies manually when needed.

* Consent log filters: Search and filter logs by action, country, IP, and session
ID.
* Consent PDF export: Export individual consent records for documentation.
* Consent retention settings: Control how long consent logs are kept.
* Monthly automatic scanning: Schedule recurring scans on the free plan.
* Scan history and change detection: See what changed between scans, including
newly detected cookies and domains.
* Rule-based category suggestions: Get suggested categories for newly detected
cookies.

* MCP and WordPress Abilities support: Enable AI assistant access to SureCookie
management actions when supported.
* No visitor-based limits: SureCookie does not charge by traffic or monthly visitors.
#### Free vs Pro Clarity
This WordPress.org listing focuses on the free SureCookie plugin. The free plugin
includes the core banner, scanner, blocking, consent logs, cookie policy page, monthly
automatic scanning, Google Consent Mode, WP Consent API, and multilingual support.
Some advanced workflows are reserved for SureCookie Pro, such as weekly automatic
scans, email scan digests, auto-apply behavior, compliance guard workflows, regional
targeting, and consent forwarding. This keeps the free feature list clear and avoids
confusion for WordPress.org users.

#### Real Browser Cookie Scanner
SureCookie uses a browser-based scanning service at [https://library.surecookie.com/](https://library.surecookie.com/)
to inspect selected pages.
Instead of only reading static HTML, the scanner loads your pages in a real browser
environment. This helps detect cookies and resources that appear after page load,
through tag managers, or through third-party scripts.
The scanner can help identify:
* Cookies added by analytics tools
* Marketing and advertising cookies
* Functional and preference cookies
* WooCommerce and WordPress session cookies
* Third-party domains and resources
* Tag manager loaded scripts
* Dynamically injected scripts and cookies
SureCookie keeps scanning separate from visitor traffic, so your cookie banner and
consent logs are not affected by how many people visit your site.
#### Monthly Automatic Scanning
SureCookie includes a free automatic scanning base.
When enabled, it can run scheduled monthly scans through WP-Cron. The scan uses
the same scanner engine, respects the configured scan scope, and records the latest
scan history.
The scan history can show:
* Newly detected cookies
* Removed cookies
* Recategorized cookies
* Newly detected third-party domains
* Whether the scan was manual or automatic
* The last scan date and cookie count
Weekly automatic scans, email digests, auto-apply, and compliance guard behavior
are extension points for the Pro version. They are not described here as free features.
#### Script Blocking Before Consent
SureCookie can block non-essential scripts before the visitor gives consent.
When blocking is enabled, SureCookie processes the frontend HTML and converts matching
resources so they do not execute until the relevant cookie category is allowed.
It can handle scripts as well as embedded content such as iframes, embeds, and objects.
This matters because a banner alone does not stop tracking. SureCookie is designed
to connect consent choices with technical enforcement.
The script blocker also includes safeguards so it skips admin pages, REST requests,
AJAX requests, feeds, JSON responses, XML responses, and scanner bypass requests.
#### Customizable Banner and Preferences
SureCookie gives you control over the visitor-facing consent experience.
You can customize:
* Banner message and description
* Rich text banner content
* Accept, Accept All, Decline, and Preferences button labels
* Button order
* Banner position and width
* Banner logo
* Banner animation
* Background overlay
* Preference modal heading and description
* Cookie category labels and descriptions
* Custom CSS
Visitors can accept all cookies, decline non-essential cookies, or open the preferences
modal and choose specific categories.
#### Consent Logs Stored Locally
SureCookie stores consent records inside your WordPress database.
This is different from many SaaS consent management platforms where consent records
live on an external platform. With SureCookie, your consent logs stay on your WordPress
site and can be reviewed from the admin area.
Consent logs can include:
* User session ID
* Consent action, such as accepted, declined, or partially accepted
* Cookie category preferences
* Masked IP address
* Timestamp
* Country
Admins can view, search, filter, delete, and export logs from WordPress. SureCookie
also includes retention settings so you can control how long logs are kept.
#### Cookie Policy Page and Cookie Policy Generator
SureCookie includes a cookie policy generator that can create a Cookie Policy page
for your website.
The generated page uses native WordPress blocks and includes a dynamic shortcode
that displays cookie tables grouped by category and provider. The cookie policy
content can include:
* Cookie categories
* Cookie names
* Purpose or description
* Duration
* Domain
* Last updated timestamp
* A table of contents when multiple categories are available
You can edit the generated policy page in the WordPress editor and keep the dynamic
cookie table connected to your scanned and manually added cookies.
#### Re-Consent and Re-Request Consent
Visitors should be able to change their choices later.
SureCookie includes a re-consent shortcode:
```
[surecookie_reconsent_button]
```
You can use it to add a Cookie Preferences button on your site. SureCookie can also
add a virtual Cookie Preferences item to a selected WordPress navigation menu.
Admins can also re-request consent from all visitors. This is useful after updating
your cookie policy, adding new tracking tools, changing categories, or making a
major consent workflow change.
#### Google Consent Mode
SureCookie includes Google Consent Mode support.
When enabled, SureCookie can send consent states for supported Google services and
update consent when visitors change their preferences. It maps SureCookie categories
to Google consent signals and can detect Google services from enqueued scripts or
the page HTML.
SureCookie also avoids showing ineffective block toggles for Google resources that
are managed by Google Consent Mode.
#### WP Consent API
SureCookie supports WP Consent API.
It reads the SureCookie consent cookie and syncs the visitor’s consent state so
compatible WordPress plugins can check consent using the standardized WordPress
consent API flow.
Default category mapping includes:
* Essential to functional
* Functional to preferences
* Analytics to statistics
* Marketing to marketing
Developers can customize mappings through filters.
#### Multilingual and RTL Support
SureCookie includes multilingual compatibility for WPML and Polylang.
It can register and translate banner text, button labels, preference modal text,
category labels, and related frontend strings. It also includes RTL support for
cookie policy layouts.
#### MCP and WordPress Abilities
SureCookie includes MCP and WordPress Abilities integration for supported setups.
When enabled, AI assistants and compatible tools can use structured SureCookie abilities
to manage settings, cookie categories, consent logs, cookie management, and site
scanner actions. Scanner start actions still require care because they contact an
external scanning service.
#### No Visitor-Based Limits
SureCookie does not charge based on monthly traffic, pageviews, or visitor count.
The cookie banner, consent choices, and consent logs are not priced by how many
visitors see the banner.
#### Who Should Use SureCookie?
SureCookie is a good fit for:
* WordPress site owners who need a cookie consent banner
* E-commerce stores using analytics, ads, pixels, embeds, or marketing tools
* Agencies managing WordPress cookie consent for client sites
* Bloggers and publishers using third-party scripts or content embeds
* Course, membership, and community sites that use analytics or conversion tracking
* Businesses using tag managers, analytics platforms, marketing pixels, heatmaps,
video embeds, maps, forms, or similar third-party services
* Developers who want a WordPress-native consent workflow with hooks and APIs
* Teams that want consent logs stored inside WordPress instead of a third-party
consent platform
#### Works Well For Common WordPress Setups
SureCookie is designed for everyday WordPress sites that need a cookie consent banner
and practical script control. It can help with:
* E-commerce stores that use analytics, checkout tracking, or marketing pixels
* Agency-managed sites that need repeatable consent settings
* Publisher sites that use ads, embeds, and analytics tools
* Lead generation sites that use forms, CRM scripts, and conversion tracking
* Sites that need a cookie policy page with dynamic cookie tables
* Sites that want local consent logs for internal records
#### Important Legal Note
SureCookie provides technical tools for cookie scanning, script blocking, consent
collection, consent logging, and cookie policy management.
No WordPress plugin can guarantee legal compliance on its own. Privacy and cookie
requirements depend on your website, visitors, region, policies, data processing
practices, and legal obligations. For legal advice, consult a qualified legal professional.
### External Services
SureCookie uses external services for cookie scanning, site verification, and geolocation.
#### Cookie Scanning
SureCookie connects to [https://library.surecookie.com/](https://library.surecookie.com/)
to provide real browser-based cookie scanning and smart categorization.
When you run a scan, SureCookie sends the selected page URLs to the scanning service.
A browser-based scanner visits those pages and detects cookies, scripts, resources,
and third-party domains.
#### Scanner Registration and Authentication
Before the first scan, SureCookie performs a one-time registration handshake with`
library.surecookie.com/api/register`.
The request sends:
* Site URL
* WordPress admin email
* SureCookie version
* A temporary installation nonce (one-time, random)
The scanning service verifies the site through a temporary REST endpoint, then returns
site-specific credentials and a verification token. These credentials are stored
locally in a non-autoloaded WordPress option and are used for authenticated scan
requests.
#### Consent IP Logs and Region Detection
For consent logging and country detection, visitor IP addresses may be processed
through MaxMind-backed region detection through SureCookie’s service. This helps
SureCookie record the country in the consent log.
IP addresses are masked before being stored in your WordPress database.

#### Service URLs
* SureCookie scanning and geolocation service: [https://library.surecookie.com/](https://library.surecookie.com/)
* SureCookie privacy policy: [https://surecookie.com/privacy-policy/](https://surecookie.com/privacy-policy/)
* MaxMind: [https://www.maxmind.com](https://www.maxmind.com)
### Data Stored Locally
SureCookie stores plugin settings and consent data in your WordPress database.
This can include:
* Banner and preference modal settings
* Cookie categories
* Custom cookies
* Scanned cookies
* Scanned resources
* Scan history
* Consent logs
* Cookie policy page ID
* Automatic scan settings
* Scanner credentials
Consent logs and scan results can be viewed, exported, or deleted from the WordPress
admin.
### Privacy and Data Processing
SureCookie processes data through its API service at `library.surecookie.com` for
cookie scanning, scanner authentication, and region-aware consent logging. Here
is what happens and why.
#### What We Send to SureCookie Services
During the one-time scanner registration and site verification flow, SureCookie
sends the site URL, the WordPress administrator email, the SureCookie version, and
a temporary installation nonce. The scanning service uses these to verify your site
and issue credentials, then returns a verification token that SureCookie exposes
at a temporary REST endpoint for domain verification.
After registration, scan requests use site-specific credentials stored locally in
WordPress and do not resend the admin email.
When a scan runs, SureCookie sends selected page URLs to the scanning service so
a real browser can detect cookies, scripts, resources, and third-party domains.
#### What Is Processed and Why
* Cookie scanning: Selected page URLs are scanned in a real browser environment
to detect cookies, scripts, resources, and third-party domains.
* Cookie categorization: Detected cookie details, such as names, domains, and durations,
are used to help categorize cookies.
* Region detection: Visitor IP addresses may be processed through MaxMind-backed
region detection …

### What data is sent to external services?
For cookie scanning, selected page URLs and site verification details are sent to`
library.surecookie.com`. For country detection in consent logs, visitor IP addresses
may be processed through the SureCookie service using MaxMind-backed data.
## Reviews
### [In Alpha Phase and Already better than any Cookie Plugin I’ve Used](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/in-alpha-phase-and-already-better-than-any-cookie-plugin-ive-used/)
[awahl8](https://profiles.wordpress.org/awahl8/) March 30, 2026
Just a fantastic plugin already. Simple, clean UI that just works. Better than any
cookie plugin I’ve used before — I’ve tried a multitude of them, and this is only
in alpha.

## Changelog
#### 1.2.3 – 14-July-2026
* Improvement: Added notification dot for unread consent logs in admin menu.
* Improvement: The consent banner stylesheet now loads without blocking page render(
served asynchronously), taking it off the critical rendering path and improving
FCP / LCP / Lighthouse scores.
* Improvement: The bundled Figtree fonts are now served as woff2 (about 60% smaller)
and use font-display: swap, so banner text paints immediately in a fallback font
and the fonts no longer sit on the critical path.
* Fix: Accessibility issue with focus outlines for buttons and links in the banner
interface.
* Fix: Script blocking now works even if the remote list fails, using a built-in
baseline of common third-party scripts.
* Compatibility: SureCookie now activates cleanly on SQLite-based WordPress installs
by skipping MySQL-only steps, fixing prior index and column errors.
#### 1.2.2 – 10-July-2026
* Fix: Enabling Resource Blocking could break the page layout on WordPress 7.0
sites using classic themes with block-based content – block and global styles
were pushed into the page body instead of the header, inverting the CSS cascade
and collapsing multi-column sections. Resource Blocking no longer interferes
with WordPress 7.0’s on-demand block-style loading.
* Fix: Blocked video embeds (Vimeo, YouTube, and other WordPress responsive embeds)
no longer leave a large empty gap around the “content is blocked” placeholder.
The placeholder now overlays the embed’s reserved aspect-ratio space instead
of adding its own height on top of it.
#### 1.2.1 – 09-July-2026
* Improvement: Reduced the consent banner script (public.js) by over 96% — from
~1.4 MB to ~50 KB minified — by removing admin-only code that was bundled into
the public page.
* Improvement: Frontend scripts now load with the defer strategy and no longer
pull in WordPress’s api-fetch library, shrinking the script dependency chain
and improving LCP / Lighthouse scores.
* Improvement: Consent-log delivery failures now log a console warning instead
of failing silently.
* Improvement: A misbehaving surecookie-pro’s floating widget can no longer prevent
the consent banner from rendering.
* Improvement: On local and development sites (localhost, .local, .localhost, and
private/loopback IP ranges), cookie scanning is now blocked up front with a clear
notice — instead of appearing to start and then failing — since the SureCookie
agent app cannot reach a local site.
* Compatibility: The consent banner now renders reliably alongside JS-delay/optimization
plugins (e.g. WP Rocket, Perfmatters) that run scripts after the page has loaded.
* Compatibility: The Cookie Policy page link, cookie category names and descriptions,
and the Re-request Consent button label now translate via WPML and Polylang to
match the active language.
* Fix: Consent-log entries are no longer silently lost on pages served from a long-
lived page cache — the banner now automatically refreshes its security token
and retries.
* Fix: Added .site, .test domain support to the SureCookie agent app for staging
development environments for further testing and scanning.
* Fix: The bullet-number lists in the messages editor now renders correctly when
the description text includes HTML.
* Fix: Deleting a core cookie category unable to process and stuck in the deleting
state.
* Fix: SureCookie agent’s auth details not getting deleted when the plugin’s “Delete
Data on Uninstall” option is enabled.
* Fix: “Powered by” label from the banner is not being translated with provided
translation files.
* Developer note: `window.surecookieManager` is available from DOMContentLoaded(
never at HTML parse time). Integrations should use the `surecookie_*` events,
and third-party scripts registering `surecookie.*` filters should be enqueued
with the defer strategy.
#### 1.2.0 – 25-June-2026
* New: Introducing “Automatic Scanning” feature to keep your site compliant with
regular interval scheduled scan.
* New: Introducing “Re-request Consent” feature to allow admins to trigger a new
consent request for all visitors.
* New: Introducing “Background Overlay” option to the banner layout settings, which
dims the page behind the banner until a choice is made.
* New: Added highlighting logs count to the SureCookie admin menu > Logs, to show
the number of new consent logs since the last visit.
* Improvement: Added “Reset to Default” button for the Banner Content and Preference
Modal Description fields, allowing admins to revert to default text easily.
* Improvement: Updated scanning capacity sync with the SureCookie agent app for
a more consistent scanning experience.
* Fix: The content blocker scanner showed a block toggle for Google scripts managed
by Google Consent Mode, even though the toggle had no effect. These resources
now display an explanatory note instead, clarifying that Consent Mode manages
them.
* Fix: Deactivation conflict with other plugins resolved on network setup level.
* Compatibility – Synced up Resource blocked scripts with Google consent mode scripts,
so that the toggle is not shown for Google scripts managed by Consent Mode.
#### 1.1.0 – 15-June-2026
* New: Introduced AI Assistants integration using MCP (Model Context Protocol),
along with WordPress Abilities APIs for AI-powered SureCookie management.
* New: “Banner Message” and “Preference Modal Description” fields in the Banner
Content settings now support HTML tags for enhanced formatting options.
* Improvement: Improved the Settings dashboard by organizing configurations into
well-defined categories for better clarity and user experience.
* Improvement: Added “Last updated” timestamps support to the Cookie Policy page.
* Fix: Cookie policy page with RTL language had layout issues on the frontend.
This has been resolved to ensure proper display in RTL languages.
#### 1.0.0 – 08-June-2026
* Official public release of SureCookie.
* Improvement: SureCookie is now ready with translations for 20 languages, including
English, Spanish, Indonesian, Portuguese (Brazil), French, German, Russian, Italian,
Turkish, Dutch, Japanese, Chinese (Simplified), Polish, Arabic, Swedish, Vietnamese,
Hebrew, Thai, Greek, and Czech.
* Fix: Admin cookie category labels and banner content placeholders now translate
via WPML/Polylang to match the active locale.
#### 0.0.1-beta.4 – 20-May-2026
* Improvement: Added a credential reset notice to existing users to re-connect
site with SureCookie agent app after security improvements.
* Improvement: WordPress 7.0 compatibility.
#### 0.0.1-beta.3 – 19-May-2026
* New: Introduced “Learn” section in the dashboard with educational resources about
cookie compliance.
* Improvement: Hardened the security of the plugin.
#### 0.0.1-beta.2 – 1-May-2026
* New: Cookie Policy custom post type for managing policy pages within the plugin.
* New: Type-module script blocking until user grants consent.
* New: Dynamic script detection and blocking when consent is previously given or
denied.
* New: Block and manage `
