Any WordPress site that sets cookies, such as for Google Analytics, YouTube or marketing pixels - must first ask visitors for permission to do so. This is required by the AVG (GDPR) and also gives your visitors more confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a plugin you can easily arrange this, but not everyone wants to install yet another plugin. Plugins can make your site slower or conflict with other components. Therefore you can also manual integration<\/strong>. Cookiebot automatically scans which cookies your site uses and ensures that your banner and statement are always up to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
