About this tool.
Privacy Toolkit closes a gap WordPress leaves open by default: the IP address of every comment author is stored in full.
- New comments are anonymized immediately, before they are stored: for IPv4 the last part of the address is removed (203.0.113.42 becomes 203.0.113.0), for IPv6 everything after the first 48 bits.
- Existing comments are migrated in the background, or immediately via a button.
- A suggested privacy-policy text block, generated from which 360 plugins are actually active on this site — a starting point, not legal advice.
Free vs. Pro
The free version anonymizes comment IPs and generates the policy text.
Privacy Toolkit Pro adds:
- Configurable automatic deletion of old spam/trash comments (never affects approved comments).
- A consolidated, read-only overview of WordPress’ own data export/erasure requests, with direct links to process them.
- Settings export/import as JSON, for agencies setting up several sites identically.

Frequently asked questions.
Does this replace a cookie consent banner?
This plugin does not set cookies. Whether your site needs a consent banner depends on everything else running on it (analytics, embeds, ads) — this plugin alone does not answer that question, and this is not legal advice.
