SureCookie

SureCookie is a WordPress cookie consent plugin that helps you scan cookies, display a customizable cookie banner, block non-essential scripts before consent, and store consent logs inside your WordPress database.

It is built for site owners, E-commerce stores, agencies, bloggers, and WordPress professionals who want more than a basic cookie notice. SureCookie helps you understand what cookies and third-party services are running on your site, lets visitors manage their choices, and gives you a practical consent workflow without visitor-based pricing.

Not Just a Cookie Banner

A cookie notice can tell visitors that your site uses cookies, but that alone does not manage consent. If analytics scripts, marketing pixels, video embeds, maps, or tag manager scripts run before visitors choose, the banner is only cosmetic. SureCookie connects the banner to the rest of the workflow: scan the site, review detected cookies, block non-essential scripts before consent, store consent logs locally, and keep your cookie policy easier to maintain.

How SureCookie Works

SureCookie follows a simple WordPress cookie consent workflow:

1. Scan selected pages with the real browser cookie scanner.
2. Review detected cookies, scripts, resources, and third-party domains.
3. Organize cookies into consent categories such as Essential, Functional, Analytics, and Marketing.
4. Enable script blocking so non-essential scripts wait for consent.
5. Show the cookie consent banner and preference modal to visitors.
6. Store consent logs locally in WordPress for review and export.
7. Generate or connect a cookie policy page that reflects your cookie setup.

This makes SureCookie more than a WordPress cookie banner. Many cookie plugins focus only on the visitor-facing notice, while SureCookie focuses on what happens before and after it: cookie detection, script blocking, consent records, and policy support.

Real Browser Cookie Scanner

SureCookie uses a browser-based scanning service at https://library.surecookie.com/ to inspect selected pages. See how the cookie scanner works.

Instead of only reading static HTML, the scanner loads your pages in a real browser environment. This helps detect cookies and resources that appear after page load, through tag managers, or through third-party scripts.
