Overview

Complianz is a WordPress plugin for cookie consent and privacy policy management. It serves consent banners, conditionally blocks scripts based on consent status, and generates GDPR/CCPA-compliant privacy documentation. Consent data is stored locally in WordPress.

What This Script Does

Complianz scripts render a cookie consent banner, detect and conditionally block third-party embeds and tracking scripts until appropriate consent is given, and manage consent state via cookies stored in the visitor's browser. The plugin generates privacy policy and cookie policy pages. All consent records are stored in the local WordPress database rather than a third-party cloud service. Scripts also handle region detection to display appropriate consent interfaces (e.g., opt-in for EU, opt-out for California).

Consent & Compliance

  • Consent Category: Essential
  • Applicable Regulations: GDPR, ePrivacy Directive, CCPA
  • Opt-in Required: No — the consent management tool itself is essential infrastructure

As a consent management platform, Complianz is the mechanism through which consent is collected. Blocking it would prevent consent collection entirely, which would violate GDPR and ePrivacy requirements. The cookies it sets to store consent preferences are classified as strictly necessary.

Should You Block This Without Consent?

No. Complianz is a consent management tool. Blocking it would prevent your site from collecting consent at all, creating a compliance violation. Consent management scripts are classified as strictly necessary and exempt from consent requirements.

Is Complianz GDPR compliant?

Complianz's trackers are classified as essential (strictly necessary), so they are generally exempt from prior consent under the GDPR. You should still list them in your cookie policy and privacy notice so visitors know they are there.
