Overview
Sites that use cookies in the EU need to tell visitors about it, and many need consent before certain scripts run. OceanWP Cookie Notice handles this with a banner you can write and style yourself. You set the message, the button text and the look, so the notice reads like part of your site and keeps visitors informed about cookie use.
The plugin is designed for OceanWP-powered websites and needs little setup. You can add scripts that load only after a visitor accepts, and you can choose whether the page reloads after acceptance so those scripts start running. For stricter needs, an overlay holds visitors on the notice until they acknowledge it. Styling and behavior settings let you pick a quiet banner or a firm one.
Features
- Consent-based script loading: Add cookie-related scripts that run only after a visitor gives explicit consent, which supports GDPR-minded handling of cookies and gives users control over their privacy.
- Optional reload after acceptance: Choose to reload the page once cookies are accepted, so the scripts that depend on consent can start running right away.
- Two notice styles: Pick from two distinct banner styles so the cookie notice fits the design and branding of your website.
- Editable message and buttons: Write your own notice message and button text, so the wording matches your brand and clearly explains your cookie usage to visitors.
- Close button or icon: Let visitors dismiss the notice with a clearly visible button or a simple close icon, whichever suits your layout better.
- Detailed styling controls: Adjust colors, fonts, sizes and positions of the notice so it blends with the look and feel of the rest of your site.
- Overlay for required acknowledgment: Turn on an overlay that stops visitors from navigating until they accept, which helps with stricter compliance requirements.
- Multi-language support: Includes French and German translations, which helps make the notice usable for a wider European audience.

- OceanWP sites that need an EU cookie notice
