The MaxtDesign Cookie Consent Manager That Actually Works
Most WordPress consent plugins either don’t actually control tracking (they just show a form) or they’re so bloated they slow down your site significantly. MaxtDesign Cookie Consent is different: proper Google Consent Mode v2 implementation in under 10KB.
Why This Plugin?
For Site Owners:
You need CCPA/GDPR compliance but don’t want to sacrifice site performance or deal with complex configuration.
For Developers:
You want clean, efficient code that follows WordPress standards and doesn’t conflict with other plugins.
For Agencies:
You manage multiple client sites and need a reliable, lightweight solution that just works.
Key Features

✓ WP Consent API Ready
Acts as a provider for the WordPress Consent API standard. With the free WP Consent API plugin active, your visitors’ choices are respected site-wide by WooCommerce and other consent-aware plugins automatically.
✓ Privacy-First
No server-side user tracking. No external API calls. User consent stored locally. GDPR/CCPA compliant by design.
What is Google Consent Mode v2?
Google Consent Mode v2 (GCM v2) became mandatory in March 2024 for GA4 and Google Ads in the EU. It’s Google’s framework for managing user consent signals across their advertising and analytics products.
This plugin implements all four required consent types:
analytics_storage – Google Analytics cookies
ad_storage – Advertising cookies
ad_user_data – User data for advertising
ad_personalization – Personalized advertising
Without proper GCM v2 implementation, your GA4 and Google Ads tracking may be unreliable or non-compliant.
Full consent management with Accept/Analytics/Decline buttons and current status display.
Both shortcodes update in real-time when consent changes.
Optional Elementor Integration
Prefer to use a custom Elementor popup? Simply enter your Elementor Popup ID in settings, and the plugin will use your custom popup instead while maintaining proper GCM v2 functionality.

However, this plugin manages consent for third-party services (Google Analytics, Google Ads). Those services have their own privacy policies:
Google Analytics Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

It is your responsibility to include appropriate disclosures in your site’s privacy policy about the tracking services you use.
