Why People Love Elfsight

If you run a website, you already know there’s a lot to juggle. Design, content, updates… and yes, keeping things compliant. That last part can feel like a headache, but it doesn’t have to be. The Elfsight Cookie Consent plugin takes care of the boring legal stuff so you can focus on the fun parts of running your website.

The setup is quick, the banner doesn’t stick out like a sore thumb, and you can make it look however you like. Most importantly, it shows your visitors that you respect their privacy. That little bit of transparency goes a long way – it helps people feel comfortable, and when people feel comfortable, they stay longer and trust you more.

Did you know?

Cisco found that 90% of people would switch to a brand that does a better job protecting their data.

So why wait? Drop in the Elfsight cookie plugin for WordPress for free today and show your visitors you’ve got their back.

Do I need a paid WordPress.com plan to use the Cookie plugin?

Yes, WordPress.com requires a Business plan or higher to add custom JavaScript, while WordPress.org has no such limits.

Does the Cookie banner work with popular WordPress builders?

Elfsight plugins are compatible with most WordPress themes and builders, including Elementor, Gutenberg, and WPBakery.

Does the Cookie Consent include Accept and Decline buttons?

Yes, Elfsight offers both a simple notification layout and a dual-button consent mode with Accept and Decline options for regulatory compliance.

Can I customize the cookie message and policy links?

Yes, you can edit the banner text, adjust typography settings, and add direct links to your privacy or cookie policy page.

How long does the plugin store user consent?

When your WordPress visitors make a selection, the choice is saved in browser cookies, preventing the banner from reappearing until consent expires.

Does Elfsight provide GDPR-ready templates?

Yes, the Cookie banner includes predefined GDPR-focused templates with compliant wording and layouts tailored for European privacy standards.

Can I link the banner to my privacy policy?

Yes, a dedicated field allows you to insert your policy URL so visitors can review detailed information about cookies and data usage on your WordPress website.

Will the banner appear on every visit in WordPress?

The notice shows for new visitors or when stored consent has expired, but returning users won’t see it repeatedly.
