COOKR – Cookie Consent & Script Blocking

COOKR is a consent management plugin designed for WordPress sites that enforces real user privacy by blocking scripts server-side until consent is granted. Unlike cosmetic consent banners that allow scripts to run before a user decision, COOKR intercepts and halts script execution deterministically and locally, ensuring no external dependencies or external requests are involved in the consent process. The tool operates within the output buffer, capturing and neutralizing tracker scripts before they reach the browser, so only necessary cookies are always active, and all other cookies require explicit user consent.

Key features of COOKR include server-side script blocking, compatibility with Google Consent Mode v2 for signaling cookie consent to Google tags such as Analytics and Ads, and full adherence to Content Security Policy standards with nonce-aware script restoration. The plugin provides a Runtime Inspector that reveals every script and iframe before they are delivered to the browser, offering real execution visibility. It also detects unknown third-party scripts, including those injected by plugins or themes, and surfaces external domains lacking a consent category. COOKR's consent checks and cookie state readings are performed locally, without any external calls, and the tool has been tested with major caching and optimization stacks to ensure reliability.

COOKR is delivered as a WordPress plugin and is aimed at website operators seeking robust, server-side consent enforcement and privacy protection. It avoids issues common to other plugins, such as reliance on external SaaS, bloated SDKs, subscription models, and problems with caching or CDN setups. The tool includes a developer API for further integration and customization.
