Best Cookie Consent WordPress Plugins

Cookie consent plugins go beyond a simple notice to provide a full consent management platform (CMP) integrated directly into WordPress. They scan the site for cookies and trackers, generate a consent record for each visitor, and dynamically block or enable third-party scripts — advertising pixels, analytics tags, embedded media — based on the choices made. Leading solutions integrate with Google Consent Mode v2, IAB TCF 2.2, and major tag managers to ensure ad platforms receive accurate consent signals. Publishers, e-commerce stores, and any site monetising through advertising need a robust cookie consent plugin to remain compliant and protect both user privacy and ad revenue.
