Global Privacy Control(GPC)

Global Privacy Control (GPC) is a browser signal that allows users to automatically tell websites they do not want their personal data sold or shared.

CookieAdmin enables your website to honor the GPC signal and automatically accept necessary and functional cookies, without the need for user to accept anything making the user experience better.

To enable GPC on your site follow the steps below :-

  • In WordPress Admin go to CookieAdmin --> Settings
  • In settings you will find option named Respect Global Privacy Control
  • Other than enabling it, you can change the GPC signal Toast message and GPC override message.

This is all you need to do to enable GPC.

GPC Notification

When a user with GPC enabled in their browser or extension comes to your website, CookieAdmin will show the user a Message Toast to inform the user their GPC signal was honored as shown in the screenshot below.
