This plugin integrates TrustArc’s Consent Management Platform (CMP) to facilitate compliance with regulations such as **GDPR, CCPA, LGPD, and others**. However, compliance depends on how the site owner configures consent settings, discloses data collection, and manages consent records. To ensure compliance, verify that: * Your consent banner is correctly configured within the TrustArc CMP dashboard. * Your website’s privacy policy reflects your use of the CMP. * You regularly review your consent settings to align with privacy laws. * You implement necessary mechanisms, such as Tag Manager or other consent-aware tools, to ensure that tracking scripts and third-party services respect users’ preferences. ### How do I get my TrustArc CMP script URL? You can obtain your CMP script from the TrustArc dashboard. Contact TrustArc Technical Account Manager or support if you need help. ### What happens when I enable Google Consent Mode? When enabled, the plugin configures **Google Consent Mode** to adjust how Google services (e.g., Google Analytics, Google Ads) process data based on user consent preferences. The plugin dynamically updates consent states in the `dataLayer`, ensuring that tracking adjusts according to user selections. ### What happens when I enable WP Consent API? When enabled, the plugin integrates with the WordPress Consent API, allowing other plugins and themes to access and respect the user’s consent preferences. This ensures a more consistent and compliant user experience across your WordPress site. ### What happens when I enable TrustArc Events? When enabled, the plugin will send events using the dataLayer object. ### Can I use this plugin without a TrustArc subscription? ❌ No, this plugin requires an **active TrustArc CMP subscription**. Without a valid subscription, the plugin will not function, as it relies on TrustArc’s CMP script to display the consent banner and manage user preferences. To obtain a subscription, visit [TrustArc CMP](https://trustarc.com/products/consent-consumer-rights/cookie-consent-manager/) or contact your TrustArc representative. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “TrustArc Cookie Consent Manager” is open source software.
