CoreConsent

CoreConsent is a lightweight, self-hosted cookie consent plugin for WordPress. It displays a consent banner to visitors, holds tracking scripts until consent is granted, and sends Google Consent Mode v2 signals entirely from the user's own site without any calls to a third-party consent platform.

The plugin is built to minimize impact on site performance. Its banner uses plain JavaScript with no jQuery dependency, consent decisions are applied directly in the visitor's browser, and it preserves normal page caching behavior so that adding consent management does not slow down the site or interfere with full-page caching. It offers a customizable consent banner that supports accept, reject, and per-category preference options.

CoreConsent provides unlimited consent services and categories. A one-click template library supplies common trackers. It transmits the full set of Google Consent Mode v2 signals including analytics_storage, ad_storage, ad_user_data, ad_personalization, and additional parameters. The tool belongs to the class of self-hosted WordPress plugins that handle consent-based script blocking.

It is delivered as a free plugin available through the official WordPress.org directory. All listed capabilities are provided at no cost and operate without reliance on external consent management providers.
