With Auto-block scripts<\/strong> on (Consent banner > Behaviour<\/strong>), known trackers and any script tagged with type=\"text\/plain\"<\/code> and data-cc-category<\/code> wait for consent, and iFrame blocking holds back embeds. A browser cannot stop a script that other code has already run, so tag the scripts you must be certain about.<\/p><\/dd>\nDoes it support Google Consent Mode v2?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. Switch it on in Consent banner > Google Consent Mode v2<\/strong>. Google tags start with consent denied, except in regions where your rules allow cookies until the visitor chooses, and while the banner is on screen no consent update is sent until the visitor makes a choice. Apply Google's banner text<\/strong> adds the text Google's EU user consent policy asks for to every language of your banner.<\/p><\/dd>\nWhich privacy laws does it work with?<\/h3><\/dt>\nRegion rules set the consent model for each country or region: opt-in for the GDPR (EU and UK) and the ePrivacy Directive, opt-out for the CCPA\/CPRA, and rules for the LGPD, PIPEDA, POPIA, the CNIL guidance, the TDDDG and others. The visitor's region decides which rule applies.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Does it work with WPML and Polylang?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. The banner follows the page language from WPML or Polylang, then the WordPress site language, and you can fix one language under Consent banner > Language<\/strong>. Brazilian Portuguese, Mexican and Argentinian Spanish, and Simplified and Traditional Chinese keep their own translation.<\/p><\/dd>\nDoes it work with caching plugins?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. The script loads from cdn.kukie.io with your settings built in, so cached pages always show the current banner. The plugin also keeps the script out of the minify, combine, defer and delay settings of WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache, Autoptimize, W3 Total Cache, WP Fastest Cache and SiteGround Optimizer.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Will it slow down my site?<\/h3><\/dt>\nThe banner script is under 40KB gzipped and loads asynchronously from a CDN, so it does not block the page from rendering. The optional accessibility widget adds about 15KB gzipped, only on sites that switch it on.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Can I hide the banner for administrators?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. Turn on Hide for administrators<\/strong> under Settings<\/strong>. This keeps page builders such as Bricks and Elementor working after cookies are rejected, and visitors still see the banner. Developers can change the rule with the kukie_hide_banner_for_user<\/code> filter.<\/p><\/dd>\nCan I export consent records?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. Each choice is stored with a timestamp, the categories chosen and hashed visitor details. Export the records as CSV on Kukie.io.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Do I still need a privacy policy?<\/h3><\/dt>\nYes. A consent banner is one part of privacy work. Kukie.io includes cookie policy and privacy policy generators on every plan, including the free plan.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Does the accessibility widget make my site meet accessibility laws?<\/h3><\/dt>\nNo widget does that on its own. It helps visitors read and navigate, but meeting WCAG, the European Accessibility Act or the ADA depends on your content, your theme and your own testing.<\/p><\/dd>\n
Will uptime checks show up in my analytics?<\/h3><\/dt>\nNot in Google Analytics or other tag-based tools: a check runs no JavaScript. Server-log statistics count it and can filter it out by its user agent.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
1.12.0<\/h4>\n\n\n- New: a setup video on the plugin listing.<\/li>\n
- New: a review request two weeks after you connect, once your banner is on and recording choices: a card at the top of the plugin dashboard, a notice at the top of other admin screens and a line in the plugin's footer. \"Maybe later\" hides it for 2 weeks, \"Leave a review\" for a month, \"I've already left one\" for 2 months and \"Not interested\" for 3 months, and then it asks again.
