Complianz is the №1 WordPress plugin for GDPR, CCPA, and PIPEDA compliance.

2. What is Complianz and how it works

Complianz — a multifunctional WordPress plugin that automatically configures the Cookie Notice (consent banner) and other legal documents (privacy policy, disclaimer, etc.) depending on the user’s region. The plugin supports GDPR, CCPA, PIPEDA, and more.

How Complianz works:

• When the site loads, the plugin detects the user’s region.
• A relevant consent banner (cookie notice) is displayed, where the user can accept or decline data processing.
• Complianz correctly connects/blocks necessary scripts (Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, etc.) based on the consent.
• The plugin is regularly updated, including new requirements (updates to US, Canada, and EU laws).

Result: you get automatic control over user consent and retain access to analytics (Google Analytics, etc.) without the risk of violating privacy laws.
