A1 Gdpr Compliance Plugin For Wordpress

Protect User Privacy, Build Trust, and Stay Fully Compliant

In today’s digital world, data protection isn’t just good practice — it’s the law. If your website collects user information, runs analytics, or displays advertising, you’re required by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and ePrivacy Directive to give users control over their personal data.

That’s exactly why we built the A1 GDPR Compliance Plugin for WordPress — a complete, lightweight privacy solution that helps website owners comply with these laws while maintaining the best user experience possible.

🔍 What Is GDPR and Why It Matters

The GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) is the EU law that governs how websites handle user data. Even if your business isn’t based in Europe, if you receive traffic from EU visitors, you’re still required to:

• Get explicit consent before using cookies or tracking scripts.

• Provide a way for users to access or delete their data (a “DSAR”).

• Keep records of consent for proof of compliance.

• Allow users to easily withdraw their consent at any time.

Failure to comply can result in hefty fines — but even more importantly, non-compliance erodes the trust your visitors place in your website.

That’s where our plugin comes in.

⚙️ The A1 GDPR Plugin — Complete Privacy Control Made Easy

The A1 GDPR Compliance Plugin was developed to give WordPress site owners an all-in-one privacy toolkit without any bloated dependencies or confusing setup.

Here’s what it includes:

✅ Cookie Consent Banner or Footer Bar

A clean, customizable cookie banner that displays on every page until the user makes a choice.It is placed in the footer bar for minimal disruption.

---

✅ Granular Cookie Categories

The plugin lets users manage consent by category:

• Necessary — Always on (essential for the site to work).

• Analytics — Google Analytics, Rumble stats, or other data-tracking scripts.

• Marketing — Ad pixels, YouTube, Facebook, or other tracking embeds.

Users can accept all, reject all, or fine-tune their preferences.

---

✅ Script Blocking Until Consent

Unlike most “banner-only” plugins, this one actually blocks non-essential scripts from running until the user grants consent.

Just change your script tags like this: we are only adding data-a1gdpr-category="analytics" data-a1gdpr-service="ga4" to the script tags.

<script type="text/plain" data-a1gdpr-category="analytics" data-a1gdpr-service="ga4" src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=G-XXXX"></script>

Once consent is given, the plugin automatically activates those scripts safely.

---

✅ Built-In DSAR Form (Data Request)

Every user has the right to access or erase their data.

We’ve made this process easy with a simple shortcode:

[gdpr_request]

Visitors can submit access or deletion requests, and you’ll receive them directly at your admin email. The plugin even logs them in WordPress for reference.

---

✅ Consent Logs & Proof of Compliance

The plugin keeps a secure record of:

• When consent was given

• The visitor’s IP

• User ID (if logged in)

You can export up to 200 entries to CSV for audits.

---

✅ Geo-Targeting & Transparency Options

Show the cookie bar only to EU visitors or to everyone — you choose.
You can also offer a “Manage Cookie Preferences” link anywhere on your site using:

[gdpr_manage_prefs]
