Cookie Rocket, Cookie Consent Banner and Script Blocker for GDPR, CCPA and LGPD

Cookie Rocket is a WordPress cookie consent banner that blocks Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, Hotjar and other third-party tracking scripts until the visitor consents, with Google Consent Mode v2, a cookie scanner and a consent log included in the free version. It is for any site that has to comply with GDPR, CCPA / CPRA, LGPD (Brazil) or LFPDPPP (Mexico), each with its own banner wording and consent rules, selectable per site.

It is a fully self-hosted alternative to cloud cookie-consent services: no account, no monthly SaaS fee and no external calls. Real script blocking, Google Consent Mode v2 and on-demand cookie scanning are free here — features that comparable consent tools typically gate behind a paid plan or a remote service.

• Automatic script blocking: common third-party trackers (Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, Hotjar, Microsoft Clarity, LinkedIn, TikTok and more) are blocked until consent, with Google Consent Mode v2 built in.
• Built-in cookie scanner: detect on demand which known tracking services are present on your site and the cookies they set.
• Automatic cookie policy / cookie declaration: a single shortcode (or one-click page) publishes a table of every cookie your site uses — provider, purpose and duration — grouped by category and updated from your scans.
• Consent audit log with an admin viewer: every consent decision is recorded and browsable for compliance.
• Editable cookie categories: rename, re-describe and reorder the categories shown on the banner.
• Unified Cookie Banner editor: layout, content (text and labels) and colours, all in one place.
• Zero external scripts and zero CDN dependencies — everything is served from your own site.
• Framework selector: GDPR, CCPA / CPRA, LGPD (Brazil) and LFPDPPP (Mexico), each with its own banner wording and consent behaviour.
• 100% local — no consent data is sent to third-party servers.
• WooCommerce aware: respects shop pages and checkout.
• Fully customizable colors, fonts sizes, copy and banner position.
• WCAG 2.1 AA accessible: keyboard navigation, focus states, ARIA labels.
• Multisite compatible.
• Five banner layouts: bottom bar, top bar, floating card, modal and drawer.

Shortcodes

• [cookie-rocket-preferences] — renders a button that re-opens the cookie preferences modal.
• [cookie-rocket-withdraw] — renders a link that withdraws consent and clears stored preferences.
• [cookie_rocket_policy] — renders the automatic cookie declaration table (provider, purpose and duration per cookie, grouped by category).

Cookie Rocket Pro

Cookie Rocket Pro is a commercial extension built on top of the free plugin. It adds:

• A catalog of 42 recognized services covering 240 cookies. Every cookie comes with its purpose and duration already written, so the cookie declaration table fills itself in from a scan. The free version recognizes 12 services; the remaining descriptions are typed in by hand.
• One-click setup. A single action detects the applicable region, runs the first scan, publishes the banner and creates the cookie policy page.
• A live banner editor. Layout, copy and colors are edited next to a preview that redraws as you type.
• Placeholders for blocked embedded content. When a video, map or feed is held back, the page keeps its layout: the placeholder names the provider, reserves the same space and offers to load that item once or to allow its category from then on.
• Services you declare yourself. Anything outside the catalog can be added by name, with the script address to block and the description of its cookies for the policy table.
• A scanner that reads the shop. WooCommerce pages are included in the crawl, and each report marks what is new since the previous scan.

Also included: Google Consent Mode advanced, which keeps Google Ads and GA4 measurement running while consent is denied; a tamper-evident consent ledger with one-click audit evidence; per-visitor framework routing, so each visitor gets the banner wording and consent behavior of GDPR in Europe, CCPA in the United States, LFPDPPP in Mexico or LGPD in Brazil; a Latin America pack with a generated privacy notice and a self-hosted ARCO / DSAR rights request channel; Google Tag Manager integration; scheduled monthly re-scans with email alerts; CSV export of the consent log; and extended log retention.

Cookie Rocket Pro is available at templatesrocket.com. The free version published here is fully functional and does not require the Pro plugin to work.
