Plugin Cookies

WordPress Plugins Keep Adding Cookies

Every plugin update, every new integration can introduce cookies you did not know about. Contact Form 7, Elementor, Yoast SEO, WooCommerce, Jetpack - each brings its own cookies and scripts. Without automated scanning, you can not keep your cookie policy accurate.

Core Cookies

WordPress Core Cookies

WordPress core sets session cookies (PHPSESSID, wordpress_logged_in_*, wp_lang) for authentication and language preferences. While most are strictly necessary, they still need to be disclosed in your cookie policy. Kukie auto-categorises them so visitors always know what is running.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Kukie WordPress plugin free?

Yes. The plugin is free and always will be. It connects to your Kukie.io account where you can use the free plan (unlimited pageviews, 5 sites) or upgrade for advanced features like geo-targeting, scheduled scans, and analytics.

Do I need a Kukie.io account?

Yes. The plugin connects to the Kukie.io platform where your banner configuration, cookie scans, and consent logs are managed. Sign up takes 30 seconds - no credit card required.

How do I install the plugin?

Search for "Kukie" in your WordPress dashboard under Plugins > Add New, or download it from WordPress.org. After activation, enter your site key from the Kukie.io dashboard.

Does it support Google Consent Mode v2?

Yes. Google Consent Mode v2 is built in and activates automatically. It signals consent state to Google Analytics, Google Ads, and Google Tag Manager without any manual tag configuration.

Is the plugin compatible with caching plugins?

Yes. The banner script loads from our CDN (cdn.kukie.io) with per-site configuration embedded, so it works with all WordPress caching plugins including WP Super Cache, W3 Total Cache, WP Rocket, and LiteSpeed Cache.

What privacy regulations does it support?

GDPR (EU & UK), CCPA/CPRA (California), ePrivacy Directive, LGPD (Brazil), PIPEDA (Canada), POPIA (South Africa), CNIL (France), TTDSG (Germany), and more. Region-specific consent models are applied automatically via geo-detection.

Will it slow down my site?

No. The banner script is around 20KB gzipped and loads asynchronously from our global CDN. It has zero impact on your Core Web Vitals scores.

Can I customise the banner design?

Yes. Choose from 5 layouts, set your brand colours, customise all text, and add custom CSS. All customisation is done through the Kukie.io dashboard with real-time preview.
