Getting started

Kansleri Cookie Consent works right after you activate it. The banner shows, tracking scripts that the plugin recognises wait for consent, and Google Consent Mode v2 signals are on. The steps below take it from “works” to “fits your site”.

Requirements

• WordPress 6.0 or newer
• PHP 7.4 or newer
• No account, licence key or outside service

Install

1. In WordPress, go to Plugins → Add New, search for Kansleri Cookie Consent, then click Install and Activate.
2. Open Settings → Cookie Consent.

You can also download the plugin from WordPress.org (opens in a new tab) and upload it under Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin.

What works out of the box

Setting	Default
Banner style	Corner popup
Cookie categories	Necessary, Analytics, Marketing, Preferences
Google Consent Mode v2	On, Basic mode
Blocking of scripts in page HTML	On
YouTube and Vimeo blocking	On
Floating settings button	On
Banner texts	Built-in texts in the visitor’s language (26 languages included)

Set up in ten minutes

1. General tab: choose the banner style and colours. Check the preview on the same page. See Banner, colours and texts.
2. Integration tab: if you use Google Analytics, Google Ads or Google Tag Manager, keep Consent Mode v2 on. See Google Consent Mode v2 and Tag Manager.
3. Cookies tab: click Scan Cookies. Known cookies are added with descriptions. If unknown cookies are found, use the AI helper to describe them. See Cookies and the cookie scanner.
4. Policy Page tab: the cookie policy page defaults to your WordPress Privacy Policy page. Add the [kncc_cookie_policy] shortcode to it. See Cookie policy page.
5. Script Blocking tab: check what is held back until consent. Add a Block by address rule for any tool the plugin does not recognise. See Script and embed blocking.

Test it

Open your site in a private browser window, so that no earlier choice is stored.

• The banner should show on the first visit.
• Before you choose, the browser’s developer tools (Application → Cookies) should show no analytics or marketing cookies.
• After Accept all, the trackers load without a page reload.
• After Reject all, nothing optional loads, also on the next page.
• The floating button or a [kncc_cookie_settings] link opens the banner again, so visitors can change their choice.
