## Kuvaus

ConsentOwl is a lightweight, cache-friendly cookie consent manager for WordPress.
It shows a consent banner, groups cookies into categories, and only loads analytics
and marketing scripts after the visitor agrees.

Built with privacy laws in mind — GDPR, ePrivacy, Russian Federal Law No. 152-FZ”
On Personal Data” and Belarus Law No. 99-Z — ConsentOwl helps you meet these requirements
out of the box.

For sites operating in Russia, Federal Law No. 152-FZ treats cookies that can identify
a user (for example via IP address or browsing history) as personal data. Their 
processing requires the visitor’s informed, active consent (Art. 6). ConsentOwl 
shows a consent banner before non-essential cookies load, lets visitors accept, 
reject or choose categories, keeps an audit log of every decision, and can generate
a draft cookie policy page — the building blocks for 152-FZ compliance. Note that
full compliance also requires actions outside any plugin (such as filing a notification
with Roskomnadzor and publishing a personal-data policy); ConsentOwl is a tool, 
not legal advice.

**Core features (free forever):**

 * Consent banner with Accept all / Necessary only / Reject buttons
 * Three consent categories: Necessary, Analytics, Marketing
 * Five built-in services connected by ID — Google Analytics, Yandex Metrica, Meta
   Pixel, Google Maps, YouTube
 * Scripts load only after the visitor consents to the relevant category
 * Consent audit log with CSV export
 * Floating reopen button so visitors can change their choice any time
 * Withdraw-all-consents button
 * Consent versioning — bump the version to re-ask everyone after a policy change
 * `[consentowl_settings_link]` shortcode for a footer ”Cookie settings” link
 * One-click Cookie Policy draft page generator
 * Cookie or localStorage storage, configurable retention
 * Works with full-page caches (WP Rocket, LiteSpeed)

The core features are free forever. Advanced features (site scanner, automatic tracker
blocking, statistics dashboard, Google Consent Mode v2, GPC) are available in the
Pro version at itorbita.by.

### External services

This plugin can load the following third-party services **only after the visitor
gives consent** for the corresponding category. None of them are contacted before
consent.

**Google Analytics / Google Tag Manager (gtag.js)**
 When you enable the built-in”
Google Analytics” service and a visitor consents to the Analytics category, the 
plugin loads the gtag.js script from `https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js`.
This sends the visitor’s analytics events to Google so you can measure site traffic.
It is only used if you enter your Measurement ID and the visitor consents. Terms:
https://policies.google.com/terms — Privacy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

**Meta Pixel (Facebook)**
 When you enable the built-in ”Meta Pixel” service and
a visitor consents to the Marketing category, the plugin loads the Facebook events
script from `https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/fbevents.js`. This sends marketing/
conversion events to Meta. It is only used if you enter your Pixel ID and the visitor
consents. Terms: https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms — Privacy: https://www.facebook.
com/privacy/policy/

**Yandex Metrica**
 When you enable the built-in ”Yandex Metrica” service and a 
visitor consents to the Analytics category, the plugin loads the Metrica script 
from `https://mc.yandex.ru/metrika/tag.js`. This sends analytics events to Yandex.
It is only used if you enter your counter ID and the visitor consents. Terms: https://
yandex.com/legal/metrica_termsofuse/ — Privacy: https://yandex.com/legal/confidential/

Google Maps and YouTube are handled as click-to-load placeholders and are only requested
from Google when the visitor explicitly loads them.

## Asennus

 1. Upload the plugin to `/wp-content/plugins/consentowl` or install it from the Plugins
    screen.
 2. Activate the plugin.
 3. Go to ConsentOwl  Settings to configure the banner, categories and services.

## UKK

### Does it work with caching plugins?

Yes. Consent is stored client-side and submitted via a cache-safe AJAX endpoint,
so it works with WP Rocket, LiteSpeed and similar full-page caches.

### Does it block scripts before consent?

Yes. Built-in services and scripts wrapped with the `data-consentowl-category` attribute
load only after the visitor consents to the matching category.

### Is there a Pro version?

Yes. The Pro version adds a site scanner, automatic tracker blocking, a statistics
dashboard, Google Consent Mode v2 and GPC support. It is available at itorbita.by.

### Does it help with Russian 152-FZ compliance?

Yes. ConsentOwl provides the cookie-consent building blocks 152-FZ expects: a banner
shown before non-essential cookies load, active per-category consent, an audit log
of decisions, and a draft cookie policy page. Full compliance also requires steps
outside the plugin (such as a Roskomnadzor notification and a published personal-
data policy). ConsentOwl is a tool, not legal advice.
