Sogo Consent

Sogo Consent adds a customisable cookie consent banner to your WordPress site. All settings are managed from the WordPress admin. No external services are used. No visitor data is sent anywhere.

Consent modes

• Full consent mode — shows Accept All, Reject Non-Essential, and Preferences buttons. The Preferences button opens a modal where visitors can toggle Analytics and Marketing cookie categories individually.
• Simple notice mode — shows a single acknowledgement button. Clicking it records that the visitor saw the notice. It does not enable analytics or marketing cookies.

Layout options

Four layout options are available: bottom full-width strip, bottom centre card, bottom right card, bottom left card. On mobile and tablet (992px and below) all layouts automatically become a centred floating card.

Behaviour options

• Show or hide the banner without deactivating the plugin
• Auto-hide the banner after a configurable number of seconds (1–60)
• Set how long to remember the visitor’s choice (1–730 days)
• Bump the policy version to ask visitors to choose again after a policy change

Appearance options

Customise background colour, text colour, title colour, primary and secondary button colours, corner radius, and box shadow — all from the Appearance tab in admin.

Consent storage

Consent is stored as a first-party browser cookie named sogo_consent . It uses SameSite=Lax and Secure (HTTPS only). The cookie contains the consent status, timestamp, policy version, banner mode, and category choices. No consent data is stored in the WordPress database.

Developer integration

A public JavaScript API is available on every page after the plugin loads:

• window.SogoConsent.getConsent() — returns the current consent object or null
• window.SogoConsent.hasConsented() — returns true if valid consent exists
• window.SogoConsent.resetConsent() — clears the cookie and re-shows the banner
