Why WordPress Sites Need a Cookie Banner
WordPress sites commonly use plugins that collect personal data: contact forms (WPForms, Contact Form 7), email lists (Mailchimp), analytics (Google Analytics, Jetpack Stats), and e-commerce (WooCommerce). All of these require privacy policy disclosure.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does WordPress have a built-in privacy policy?
WordPress has a privacy policy template feature, but it's basic. TinyConsent generates more comprehensive policies tailored to your site's needs.
Where should I put my privacy policy?
Create a dedicated page (e.g., /privacy-policy) and link to it in your footer. Also set it in Settings → Privacy.
Do I need both a privacy policy and cookie banner?
Yes. The cookie banner handles consent; the privacy policy provides detailed information about your data practices.
Will this work with GDPR plugins?
TinyConsent works alongside or replaces most GDPR plugins. Our solution is often simpler and lighter.
