CortIQ for WordPress

What the plugin does

• Loads the CortIQ tracking script on every page. Logged-in administrators are not tracked.
• Shows a consent banner with necessary, statistics and marketing choices, a close button that saves "necessary only", and a link to reopen the settings.
• Stores each consent choice in CortIQ's consent log as well as in the browser.
• Optionally loads Google Analytics 4 with Google Consent Mode v2.
• Banner text in English, Swedish, German, French and Portuguese, or chosen automatically from the site language.

Install

1. Download the plugin: cortiq-wordpress-plugin.zip. It is not in the WordPress.org directory.
2. In WordPress, go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, choose the zip file and activate it.
3. Go to Settings → CortIQ Analytics and enter the Site ID and Tracking ID from your CortIQ dashboard (Install tracking).
4. Choose a tracking mode and save.

Requires WordPress 5.6 or later and PHP 7.4 or later. Tested up to WordPress 6.8.

Settings

• Tracking mode: full (the default) or cookieless. Both modes wait for statistics consent. See cookieless mode.
• Geo-gating: show the banner only to visitors in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland.
• GA4 Measurement ID and Consent Mode: basic or advanced (see below).
• Consent region: apply Consent Mode defaults to the EEA only, or globally.
• Policy version and re-ask cooldown (1 to 400 days): change the policy version to ask every visitor again.
• Banner language and accent colour.

Google Consent Mode v2

When you enter a GA4 Measurement ID, the plugin sets all Consent Mode v2 signals to denied by default (security_storage is granted), waits 500 ms for an update, and turns on ads_data_redaction and url_passthrough. The banner then updates the signals from the visitor's choice.

• Basic: GA4 is not loaded until the visitor gives statistics consent.
• Advanced: GA4 loads at once in denied mode and sends cookieless pings until consent is given.
