Cookie consent management for WordPress
CookieAdmin Pro helps WordPress administrators present a customizable cookie consent banner and give visitors control over which cookie categories they allow. It builds on CookieAdmin’s lightweight, bloat-free approach with advanced tools for scanning, consent handling, privacy preferences, and localized experiences.
Administrators can adjust the consent banner interface to match a website or brand identity. Visitors can accept all cookies, reject all cookies, or select individual categories such as functional, analytics, and marketing. Cookie categorization and cookie scanning provide a structured way to present the cookies used on a site.

Practical website workflows
CookieAdmin Pro is suited to websites that need a clearer consent choice before loading selected cookie categories or content. A site administrator can configure the banner, organize cookies by category, and provide visitors with a choice between accepting everything, rejecting everything, or selecting specific categories.
For sites serving visitors in different regions, geo targeting and user country detection can help create a more location-aware consent setup. Subdomain consent sharing can support websites where visitors move between related subdomains. Multilingual functionality can help present consent choices to visitors in supported languages, while Polylang and WPML support can fit into existing multilingual WordPress workflows.
Cookie details with shortcodes
The plugin can render cookie information in a table. Use [cookieadmin_render] to display all cookies in tabular format. To display cookies from selected categories, use [cookieadmin_render categories=”functional,analytics,marketing”]. These displays can help visitors review the categories represented in the consent experience.
Accessibility and privacy context
CookieAdmin includes support for GDPR and US state laws and is described as ADA, EAA, and WCAG compliant. Its consent interface is designed to let visitors make a direct choice about cookie categories, while Pro adds privacy controls, consent logging, and export functionality for administrative workflows.
Installation and setup
Install CookieAdmin Pro on the WordPress website, activate it, and open its administration settings. Customize the consent form, configure cookie categories and scanning, then choose the required Pro options such as consent modes, content blocking, geographic controls, languages, consent logs, or privacy settings. Review the banner on the frontend and use the shortcode when a tabular cookie display is needed.
