Cookie consent controls for WordPress
Designil PDPA Thailand Pro extends the Designil PDPA Thailand plugin with additional controls for managing cookie consent on WordPress websites. It is intended for website owners in Thailand and for international websites that collect information from customers in Thailand under the Personal Data Protection Act, or PDPA.
The plugin provides a consent popup that can be adapted to a site’s appearance and content. Pro adds more flexibility for cookie information, button wording, script placement, and visitor volume, giving site owners more control over how consent is presented and managed.
Pro features
- Unlimited pageviews: The Pro edition is described as free for unlimited pageviews, without stopping or cutting off operation after a set visitor limit.
- Three script positions: Add scripts before, after, or on the page, with the option to use all three positions when required.
- Custom cookie expiry: Set the conditions and duration for cookie expiration from the administration area.
- Cookie descriptions: Define cookie expiry information and related descriptions to explain how cookies and scripts are used.
- Custom button text: Change the wording of all buttons in the consent system to match the site’s language and style.
Consent and cookie management
Designil PDPA Thailand is built around requesting visitor consent before scripts for personal-data collection run. When a visitor accepts or rejects consent, the choice is stored in a cookie, with the duration controlled through the settings. Administrators can reset consent from the WordPress dashboard so the popup can appear again for existing and new visitors.
Cookies can be grouped and named to help explain the scripts used on a website. The source information specifically mentions support for Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel. Pro’s expiry and description controls are useful when different cookie groups need clearer explanations or different retention settings.
Flexible presentation for different websites
The popup text can be customized, and the free base plugin allows color selection for the cookie consent interface. The plugin is designed to work with WordPress themes, does not use jQuery, and is described as having a small file size. These settings make it suitable for business websites, digital marketers, and IT officers who need a configurable consent interface rather than a fixed message.
The plugin also provides an automatically generated Privacy Policy template that can be used as a starting point and edited to match the website’s information. The template references Thailand Data Protection Guidelines 3.0 from the Faculty of Law at Chulalongkorn University.
