AdSimple Cookie Consent Banner

The AdSimple Cookie Consent Banner lets you add a fully GDPR-compliant cookie consent banner to your WordPress website — with or without an AdSimple account.

Two ways to get started

Local Setup (no account required): Configure your cookie banner entirely within WordPress using a visual wizard. Choose from 16 color themes, 6 banner positions, 3 layouts, and customize every detail — all without leaving your dashboard.

Connect with AdSimple: Link your website to your AdSimple account for additional features like automatic legal text updates, remote cookie scanning, and centralized management of multiple websites.

Visual Configuration Wizard

The built-in wizard guides you through the setup in six steps:

1. 🎨 Design — Pick a position (popup, bottom bar, top bar, corners), layout (classic, block, wireframe), color theme, and fine-tune with custom colors, shadow effects, and a settings button.
2. ✏️ Texts — Customize the banner title, consent message, button labels, and link your privacy policy and legal notice pages.
3. 🍪 Cookies — Manage cookie categories (required, statistics, marketing, preferences, and more). Run a browser-based quick scan to detect cookies on your site.
4. ⚙️ Settings — Set consent validity (1–365 days) and define visibility rules to exclude specific paths from showing the banner.
5. 🚀 Features — Enable Google Consent Mode v2 and Global Privacy Control (GPC) support.
6. ✅ Review — See a summary of your configuration and publish the banner.
