Nik Cookie Consent — lightweight GDPR cookie banner

Nik Cookie Consent — lightweight GDPR cookie banner

Nik Cookie Consent is a deliberately tiny, fast cookie‑consent banner for WordPress. It does three things and nothing more: shows a GDPR/ePrivacy banner, stores the visitor’s choice, and fires the consent event so your analytics and ads can react. Free, simple, lightweight.

What it does

  • Accept / Decline banner — the choice is stored for 180 days.
  • Google Consent Mode v2 — storage is set to denied by default (before any tag fires) and updated to granted on accept.
  • Fires the consent event — a GTM dataLayer push (nik_cc_granted / nik_cc_denied), a nikcc:change DOM event, and a bridge to Nik Analytics.

Simple settings

  • Banner text in a visual editor — insert a link to your Privacy Policy and format the text.
  • Accept / Decline labels and the privacy‑link label.
  • Dark or light theme, position (bottom bar or corner card), accent colour.
  • Re‑open the banner anytime with the shortcode [nik_cookie_settings] or NikCookieConsent.open().
  • Multilingual‑ready: banner strings register with Polylang automatically.

Lightweight by design

No external requests, no jQuery, no bundled files — about 2 KB of inline CSS/JS in the footer, plus a tiny Consent Mode default in the head. It will not slow your site down.

  2. In WordPress: Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin → choose the ZIP → Install → Activate.

Frequently asked questions

Is it really free?

Yes, completely. No licence key, no subscription and no locked features — and no ads inside the plugin. Use it on as many sites as you like.

Do I need to register or pay to download?

No. The zip downloads directly from this page — no account, no registration and no payment.

How do I install it?

Download the zip below, then in WordPress open Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, choose the zip, install and activate. The settings then appear under Settings → Cookie Consent.

Will it work on my site?

The PHP and WordPress requirements are listed on this page. We test on current versions and popular themes; heavily customised or exotic builds cannot be guaranteed — but since the plugin is free, just install it and check.

I need specific functionality — can I order customisation?

Yes. Describe your task in the support chat and we will estimate the time and the cost. If the improvement is useful to everyone, we add it to the plugin — and then you get it for free.
