Consent log and statistics

Under the GDPR you must be able to show that a visitor consented. The plugin keeps two kinds of records on the Statistics tab, both in your own database.

Consent statistics

Counts of Accept all, Reject all and custom choices over the last 7, 30 or 90 days. Only daily totals are stored: no IP addresses, no visitor identifiers and no cookies.

Consent log

One record per choice, for audits:

Field	Content
Visitor	A keyed hash of the IP address and browser. The IP address itself is never stored
Choice	Accept, reject or custom
Categories	Which categories were allowed
Version	The plugin version that recorded the choice
Time	When the choice was made

The hash is keyed with your site’s secret salt, so it cannot be reversed by trying common IP addresses and browsers.

Records older than 13 months are deleted automatically.

Export and delete

• Export CSV downloads every record for an audit or a data request.
• Purge All Records deletes the whole log and the statistics. This cannot be undone.

When the plugin is uninstalled

Deleting the plugin removes the log table, the statistics and every setting from the database. Your WordPress Privacy Policy page is never deleted.
