GDPR for Joomla 2.17

GDPR for Joomla is a WordPress plugin designed to help you manage cookies and third‑party resources in line with EU GDPR requirements. Instead of only displaying a consent banner, it focuses on what happens behind the scenes: it can actually block cookies and resources until a visitor provides consent.

By recording consent choices made on your website, GDPR for Joomla gives you clearer privacy control and a more reliable basis for documenting user preferences. This is useful when you handle dynamic content, embedded media, or external scripts that set cookies.

If you run a WooCommerce store or any GDPR-sensitive WordPress site, the plugin supports a more structured consent flow and helps you reduce the chance of loading tracking technologies before approval.

Main Features

• Cookie and resource management — Lets you handle cookies and external resources that may be used on your site.
• Actual blocking until consent — Prevents cookies and resources from loading until the visitor grants permission.
• Consent request tracking — Tracks consent provided by users for the requests shown on the website.
• Robust privacy control — Provides clearer control over what privacy-relevant technologies are allowed to run.
• Consent-aware behavior — Ensures your site behavior aligns with the visitor’s choices rather than loading by default.
• Easy WordPress integration — Designed to fit into typical WordPress setups so you can manage consent without complex changes.
• EU GDPR alignment support — Helps you implement a consent-driven approach aligned with GDPR expectations.
• Consistent user handling — Keeps consent decisions organized so visitors get predictable behavior across pages.
