Einrichtungsanleitung
Unsere Bedienungsanleitung für das WordPress-Cookie-Plugin hilft dir bei der Einrichtung des Plugins auf deiner Website.
Set Up Your Cookie Banner With an AI Coding Assistant
CookieYes ships an AGENTS.md file, and a CLAUDE.md, in the plugin root. It gives AI coding assistants an agent-readable setup flow, the regulation coverage map, and a post-install verification checklist, so an assistant can install and configure the cookie banner without being walked through each step. Point your assistant at the plugin directory and ask it to set up CookieYes. It works with Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Gemini CLI, OpenAI Codex and any tool that follows the AGENTS.md convention.

FAQ
-
GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) is the EU privacy law that protects personal data, known as DSGVO in German and RGPD in French and Spanish. Under GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive, websites must obtain explicit consent before storing or accessing non-essential cookies such as analytics and advertising cookies. A cookie notice, also called a cookie banner or cookie message, tells visitors that your site uses cookies, explains why, and lets them accept cookies, reject them, or manage cookies by category.
-
What is CCPA and what does it require?
-
The CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act, expanded by CPRA) gives California residents control over their personal data. For websites this means informing users about data collection, offering an opt-out such as a „Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information“ link, and handling user data securely. CookieYes also supports other US state privacy laws including VCDPA, CPA, CTDPA and UCPA.
-
CookieYes adds a cookie banner to your WordPress site, scans your site to find the cookies it sets, blocks non-essential cookies until visitors consent, logs consent for audits, and generates a Cookie Policy page. You can display your cookie list on any page using a shortcode.
-
Install the CookieYes plugin (go to Plugins, then Add New, and search „CookieYes“), then activate it. A cookie consent banner appears on your site immediately. You can then customize the banner design and text, run a cookie scan, and generate a Cookie Policy page. No coding is required.
-
If your website has visitors from the EU or EEA, the UK, Brazil, Canada, or US states such as California, and it sets non-essential cookies (analytics, advertising, embedded video), laws like GDPR, PECR, LGPD and CCPA/CPRA require you to inform visitors and obtain or facilitate consent. Most WordPress sites set such cookies through their theme, plugins or analytics tools. Consult a legal professional about your specific obligations.
-
Look for automatic cookie blocking before consent, a cookie scanner that finds what your site actually sets, Google Consent Mode v2 support, low performance impact, consent logging for audit records, multilingual cookie banner support, and regular updates. CookieYes covers all of these in one cookie compliance plugin, with over 1 million active installations and a 4.8-star rating on WordPress.org.
-
Yes, there is a free plan. It includes a fully working cookie banner, automatic cookie blocking, the cookie scanner, Cookie Policy and Privacy Policy generators, consent logging, and Google Consent Mode v2. See all plans and compare features
-
CookieYes is built so it does not. Cookie scanning, consent logging and processing run in the CookieYes cloud rather than in your WordPress database, so your site is not carrying that work. The front-end cookie banner script is lightweight and adds no database queries on page load, and the plugin is compatible with major caching plugins.
-
Yes. Non-essential cookies are blocked until a visitor gives explicit consent. Strictly necessary cookies are allowed by default so your site keeps working. Visitors can accept or reject cookies by category through the preference center.
-
Google Consent Mode v2 passes visitor consent signals to Google tags such as Google Analytics 4, Google Ads and Google Tag Manager, so measurement adapts to each visitor’s choices. It is required for using Google advertising features with EEA and UK visitors. CookieYes supports Consent Mode v2 out of the box, and also supports Microsoft UET Consent Mode and Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals.
-
Yes. CookieYes works with WooCommerce, Elementor, Divi, Gutenberg, Contact Form 7 and WPForms out of the box, and passes consent signals to Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics 4, Google Ads, Microsoft Advertising (UET), Microsoft Clarity and Meta Pixel. It also supports WPML, Polylang and TranslatePress for multilingual sites, works with major caching plugins, and is optimized for PHP 8.
-
The scanner crawls your site, finds the cookies it sets, and sorts them into categories such as necessary, analytics, advertising and functional. Unknown cookies are classified automatically using AI, so your cookie records, banner and Cookie Policy page stay accurate without manual research. Premium plans add scheduled scans and scanning behind login.
-
Yes, in two ways. The plugin ships AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md files in its root, so AI coding assistants such as Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Gemini CLI and OpenAI Codex can read the setup flow and install, configure and verify the plugin. Separately, the CookieYes MCP (Model Context Protocol) server connects AI assistants to your CookieYes account, so you can check banner status, run a cookie scan, review your configuration and update banner settings in natural language.
-
Free users get support through the WordPress.org support forum, where the CookieYes team actively resolves threads, along with a searchable knowledge base and documentation. Premium plans include priority support.
-
Yes. Change the layout (top bar, bottom bar, box or cookie popup), edit every word of the cookie notice including button labels, and set the position. The banner is mobile responsive. Premium plans add custom colors and fonts, a custom logo, custom CSS, and removal of the „Powered by CookieYes“ branding.
-
It blocks cookies based on the categories a visitor consents to. If another plugin sets cookies outside of CookieYes, we cannot control or guarantee that behavior. Forcing every cookie to block could break your site, so the plugin balances consent management with usability.
-
No plugin can guarantee compliance. CookieYes helps you meet the cookie consent requirements of major privacy laws, but you need to assess how your own site uses cookies and configure the plugin correctly. For specialist legal advice, consult a lawyer.
-
Can I export consent records for audits?
-
Yes. The consent log records visitor consent and cookie preferences, and you can export it in CSV format for audits and compliance records.
-
Yes. A built-in generator creates Cookie Policy and Privacy Policy pages from your own scan results, so the policy reflects the cookies your site actually sets. The pages update automatically as your cookies change.
-
Yes. The cookie banner translates automatically into 40+ languages based on the visitor’s browser. CookieYes also works with WPML, Polylang and TranslatePress for multilingual WordPress sites.
-
Yes. CookieYes includes subdomain consent sharing, multi-user roles and permissions, scheduled scans and scanning behind login, which suit large and enterprise sites. Agencies can also join the CookieYes partner program.
-
Yes. CookieYes integrates with the WP Consent API, sharing consent states with other compatible plugins so consent is handled consistently across your site.
-
What is a CMP?
-
A CMP (Consent Management Platform) collects, manages and stores visitor consent for cookies and tracking. CookieYes is a CMP built for WordPress, covering the cookie banner, cookie scanning, consent records and policy pages in one plugin.
-
Please report the issue on the support forum and include your website URL, your WordPress version (bottom right corner of the dashboard), the browser where the issue happens, and a description of the problem. The more detail you share, the faster we can help.
