Complianz Compliance Checker Verify Your WordPress Cookie Setup
Complianz is the leading cookie consent plugin for WordPress, trusted by hundreds of thousands of sites. WordPress sites are complex ecosystems - themes, plugins, and shortcodes all add JavaScript outside Complianz's PHP blocking scope, making independent browser verification essential.
We work alongside Complianz - not against it
Complianz manages your WordPress consent configuration. We independently verify that configuration holds up in a real browser session - particularly important given how often WordPress plugins add JavaScript outside the Complianz blocking layer.
What we verify that Complianz alone cannot confirm
Six checks that require independent browser-based observation to confirm your Complianz implementation works in practice.
| Check | Why Complianz alone cannot confirm it |
|---|---|
| Pre-consent cookies | Complianz blocks scripts through WordPress hooks and PHP-level filtering. JavaScript injected directly into the page by themes, inline scripts, or third-party shortcodes can run before Complianz's PHP blocking activates. |
| Google Consent Mode v2 signals | Complianz supports Consent Mode v2. The JavaScript signal must initialize before Google Tag Manager or Google Analytics loads. Verifying the initialization order and all 4 signals requires external browser testing. |
| Reject All enforcement | WordPress plugin ecosystems are complex. A new WooCommerce extension, theme child template, or marketing plugin can add JavaScript that fires unconsented, outside Complianz's PHP blocking scope. |
| GPC signal handling | GPC compliance requires testing with a real GPC-enabled browser. Complianz can be configured to respond to GPC - but a configuration setting cannot confirm runtime browser behavior. |
| Dark pattern checks | Complianz offers a wizard-based setup and multiple banner styles. Whether the final deployed banner on your specific theme and plugin configuration presents choices correctly requires live browser inspection. |
| Multi-region behavior (up to 15 regions) | Complianz uses geo-detection to display different banners to EU vs US vs other visitors. We test from real jurisdiction IPs to confirm geo-targeting fires the correct banner in each region. |
