WordPress sites rely on plugins, embeds, analytics tools, and theme scripts — all capable of setting cookies before the visitor gives consent. CookieHub provides a unified, automated consent layer that prevents unauthorized tracking, enforces privacy rules, and keeps your site compliant with GDPR, CCPA, LGPD, and other global data regulations.
CookieHub’s dedicated WordPress plugin handles cookie consent from end to end. It scans your site, categorizes cookies, blocks third-party scripts until consent is granted, and displays a fully customizable banner that fits seamlessly into your theme.
For step-by-step installation, see the official Wordpress implementation guide.
Key Benefits:
Auto-blocks third-party cookies before consent
Works with all major themes, builders, and plugins
Extremely lightweight — lower memory usage than competing plugins (WPHive)
Consent log for audit-ready tracking
Dynamic cookie declaration page
Granular consent by category
Full customization of banner layout, colors, placement, and behavior
Google Consent Mode support included
No coding required
WordPress stacks often include dozens of plugins — each injecting scripts independently. Relying on manual solutions or edits to theme files is inconsistent and nearly impossible to maintain. CookieHub centralizes consent management so every script follows the same rules, regardless of how it was added.
What CookieHub Adds to WordPress
Automatic Cookie Blocking
Stops analytics, marketing tools, plugin scripts, and custom embeds from loading until the user opts in.

Assign tags to consent categories, control firing behavior, and override scripts safely — without editing code.
Google Consent Mode Support
Automatically adapts Google services (GA4, Ads, GTM) to user consent.
Development Mode
Test layouts, plugins, or themes without logging consent events.
Lightweight and Performance-Friendly
Lower memory usage than primary competitors (WPHive performance analysis).
