Truss Consent Manager

Description

Take Control of Cookie Consent

Managing Cookie Consent shouldn’t require multiple plugins, complicated configuration or endless manual updates.

Truss Consent Manager is a modern Consent Manager built specifically for WordPress and WooCommerce. It helps website owners display a professional Cookie Banner, manage visitor Cookie Consent, detect supported tracking scripts, block optional scripts before consent is granted and integrate Google Consent Mode v2 from a single lightweight plugin.

Whether you run a personal blog, business website, agency portfolio or WooCommerce store, Truss Consent Manager provides the tools needed to implement Consent Management while keeping your website fast, flexible and easy to manage.

Unlike a traditional Cookie Banner that simply displays a notice, Truss Consent Manager helps control what happens after your visitor makes a choice.

The plugin combines Cookie Consent, Consent Management, Script Scanning, Script Blocking and Google Consent Mode into one streamlined workflow designed specifically for WordPress.

No unnecessary complexity.

No cloud dependency.

Just practical Consent Management built around the way WordPress websites actually work.

Why Choose Truss Consent Manager?

Cookie Consent is no longer just about displaying a banner.

Modern websites often load analytics, marketing and third-party services before visitors even have the opportunity to decide how their information should be used.

Truss Consent Manager helps you place visitors back in control.

Instead of manually searching your website for tracking scripts or editing theme files, the plugin provides a structured Consent Management workflow that allows supported scripts to be detected, categorised and managed from one interface.

Whether you need a simple Cookie Banner or a more advanced Consent Manager with Script Blocking and Google Consent Mode support, Truss Consent Manager provides a practical solution without unnecessary overhead.

Built for Modern WordPress Websites

Every website is different.

Some websites only need a simple Cookie Banner.

Others require Granular Cookie Consent, Script Blocking and Google Consent Mode because they use analytics, advertising platforms or marketing tools.

Truss Consent Manager has been designed to adapt to both.

It works alongside standard WordPress installations while also supporting WooCommerce websites that require additional control over optional tracking technologies.

The plugin focuses on simplicity without sacrificing flexibility, making it suitable for beginners while still providing developers with the tools needed to integrate additional scripts into the Consent Management workflow.

More Than a Cookie Banner

Many Cookie Banner plugins stop after displaying a notice.

Truss Consent Manager goes further.

The plugin helps website owners understand which supported tracking technologies exist on their website, allows those scripts to be managed through Consent Categories and automatically applies visitor choices after consent has been granted.

Instead of becoming another notification visitors simply dismiss, your Cookie Banner becomes part of a complete Consent Management process.

That means visitors receive meaningful choices while website owners gain greater control over optional tracking technologies.

Designed Around Three Core Principles

1. Simple Cookie Consent

Visitors should immediately understand what choices are available.

Truss Consent Manager provides clear Cookie Consent options using configurable Cookie Banner layouts that can be adapted to different websites without unnecessary complexity.

2. Practical Consent Management

Consent Management should not require manually editing JavaScript or modifying theme templates.

The plugin helps website owners detect supported tracking scripts, assign them to consent categories and manage when those scripts become active.

3. Privacy First

Visitor consent is stored locally using first-party cookies.

The plugin performs its Consent Management tasks directly within WordPress without relying on external cloud platforms for its core functionality.

Cookie Consent That Visitors Understand

Cookie Consent should be simple.

Visitors should not have to work through confusing interfaces just to understand how your website uses optional tracking technologies.

Truss Consent Manager allows visitors to:

• Accept all cookies

• Reject optional cookies

• Configure individual consent categories

• Change their Cookie Consent preferences later

Every visitor interaction automatically updates the Consent Management workflow, ensuring supported scripts behave according to the selected preferences.

Flexible Cookie Banner Layouts

Every website is different, and your Cookie Banner should reflect your website rather than look like an afterthought.

Truss Consent Manager includes multiple Cookie Banner layouts that allow you to choose the presentation best suited to your website while maintaining a consistent Cookie Consent experience for your visitors.

Available layouts include:

  • Cookie Bar
  • Floating Box
  • Card Layout

Each layout has been designed to present Cookie Consent options clearly while remaining easy to customise.

Available customisation options include:

  • Banner colours
  • Button labels
  • Card position
  • Cookie lifetime
  • Privacy Policy link
  • Simple or Granular Consent Mode
  • Smart Toggle Visibility

Whether your website has a minimalist design or a highly customised theme, Truss Consent Manager makes it easy to create a Cookie Banner that feels like a natural part of your website.

Consent Management Made Practical

A Consent Manager should do more than ask visitors to click «Accept».

The real challenge begins after a visitor makes a choice.

Truss Consent Manager provides practical Consent Management tools that allow supported tracking technologies to respond to visitor preferences automatically.

Instead of treating Cookie Consent as a one-time popup, the plugin continuously applies visitor choices throughout the browsing session, ensuring supported tracking scripts behave according to the selected consent categories.

This creates a smoother experience for both website owners and visitors while reducing the need for manual configuration.

Automatic Script Scanner

Finding every tracking script on a WordPress website can quickly become difficult.

Analytics platforms, advertising networks, marketing tools and third-party plugins often insert JavaScript automatically, making manual detection both time-consuming and error-prone.

Truss Consent Manager includes an integrated Script Scanner that helps identify supported tracking technologies already running on your website.

Rather than manually inspecting page source or searching through theme files, the Script Scanner reviews your website and detects supported services that participate in the Consent Management workflow.

This saves time while making it easier to understand which tracking technologies require visitor consent.

The Script Scanner is designed to recognise supported services including:

  • Google Analytics
  • Google Tag Manager
  • Meta Pixel
  • Microsoft Clarity
  • Hotjar
  • Matomo
  • TikTok Pixel

As support expands, additional tracking technologies can participate in the same Consent Management workflow.

Script Blocking That Works With Your Consent Choices

Displaying a Cookie Banner is only part of the solution.

If optional tracking scripts continue loading before visitors make a decision, Cookie Consent loses much of its purpose.

Truss Consent Manager includes a Script Blocking Engine that prevents supported scripts from executing until the required Cookie Consent has been granted.

When consent changes, supported scripts are automatically restored according to the visitor’s selected preferences.

This removes the need to manually rewrite JavaScript or modify existing tracking implementations.

The Script Blocking Engine has been designed to work alongside the Script Scanner, creating a complete Consent Management workflow from script detection through visitor consent.

Smart Consent Categories

Different websites use different technologies.

Some only require analytics.

Others include advertising platforms, embedded media, marketing tools or functional integrations.

Truss Consent Manager organises supported scripts into logical Consent Categories, making Cookie Consent easier for visitors to understand.

Typical categories include:

  • Necessary
  • Analytics
  • Functional
  • Marketing

Instead of overwhelming visitors with unnecessary options, Smart Toggle Visibility only displays categories that are actually required by supported tracking technologies detected on your website.

This creates a cleaner Cookie Banner while improving the overall visitor experience.

Google Consent Mode v2

Google Consent Mode v2 has become an important part of many modern WordPress websites.

Truss Consent Manager includes built-in support for Google Consent Mode v2, allowing visitor consent preferences to be communicated to supported Google services.

Once enabled, the plugin automatically sends consent updates whenever visitors accept, reject or customise their Cookie Consent preferences.

Supported consent signals include:

  • analytics_storage
  • ad_storage
  • ad_user_data
  • ad_personalization
  • functionality_storage
  • personalization_storage

Google Consent Mode can be enabled directly from the plugin settings without requiring custom JavaScript or manual configuration.

When disabled, Truss Consent Manager does not transmit Google consent signals.

Built For WooCommerce

WooCommerce websites often require a different approach to Cookie Consent because stores typically use additional analytics, payment integrations and marketing tools.

Truss Consent Manager has been designed to work alongside WooCommerce while allowing optional tracking technologies to participate in the Consent Management workflow.

Functional WooCommerce components can continue operating while optional tracking scripts are managed according to visitor consent.

As with any Consent Manager, websites should always be tested after enabling Script Blocking to verify that checkout, payment gateways and third-party integrations continue functioning as expected.

Privacy First

Privacy should never come at the expense of performance or simplicity.

Truss Consent Manager stores visitor consent locally using first-party cookies rather than relying on external consent databases for its core functionality.

The plugin performs Script Scanning, Script Blocking and Consent Management directly within your WordPress installation.

This privacy-first approach helps website owners maintain control over their Consent Management implementation while avoiding unnecessary external dependencies.

Lightweight By Design

Performance matters.

Every additional plugin should justify the resources it consumes.

Truss Consent Manager has been designed as a lightweight Consent Manager focused on the features that website owners actually need.

Instead of trying to become a complete legal compliance suite, the plugin concentrates on efficient Cookie Consent, Script Scanning, Script Blocking and Google Consent Mode integration.

This focused approach helps keep the plugin easier to configure, easier to maintain and better suited to websites that value performance.

Developer Friendly

Although Truss Consent Manager is designed for website owners who prefer a simple interface, developers can extend its functionality using the included registration API.

Custom scripts can be registered so they participate in the same Consent Management workflow as supported tracking technologies.

This allows custom themes, plugins and proprietary integrations to work alongside the Consent Manager without modifying the plugin itself.

Whether you’re building client websites or extending WordPress with custom functionality, Truss Consent Manager provides the flexibility needed to integrate additional scripts while preserving a consistent Cookie Consent experience.

External Services

Truss Consent Manager can communicate with external services only when those services are enabled by the website owner.

Google Consent Mode v2

When Google Consent Mode v2 is enabled, Truss Consent Manager sends consent signals to supported Google services based on the Cookie Consent preferences selected by the visitor.

These consent signals may include:

  • analytics_storage
  • ad_storage
  • ad_user_data
  • ad_personalization
  • functionality_storage
  • personalization_storage

Truss Consent Manager does not transmit visitor consent information to Google unless Google Consent Mode has been enabled by the website owner.

Google Privacy Policy

https://policies.google.com/privacy

Google Terms of Service

https://policies.google.com/terms

If Google Consent Mode is disabled, Truss Consent Manager does not communicate consent signals to Google.

Built For WordPress

Truss Consent Manager has been designed specifically for WordPress.

The plugin integrates naturally with the WordPress administration interface, works alongside WooCommerce and provides a familiar configuration experience for website owners.

Instead of overwhelming users with dozens of unrelated settings, the plugin focuses on practical Consent Management features that are easy to configure and maintain.

Whether you’re launching a brand-new website or replacing an existing Cookie Banner plugin, Truss Consent Manager provides a straightforward path to implementing Cookie Consent on WordPress.

A clear Consent Manager helps visitors understand what choices they have while helping website owners manage optional tracking technologies responsibly.

Truss Consent Manager has been designed around that philosophy.

Clear choices.

Practical Consent Management.

Flexible Cookie Banner layouts.
