GDPR for Joomla 2.17
Description
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.
