Consent banner auto-detection

1 min read

If your site already has a consent plugin, Opti-Behavior uses it instead of showing a second banner.

  • WP DSGVO Tools

How it works #

  1. In Full Tracking mode, Opti-Behavior checks which consent plugin is active.
  2. The Consent Banner Configuration section shows “Third-party consent plugin detected: …” or “No supported plugin detected”.
  3. On your pages, Opti-Behavior reads the visitor’s answer from that plugin (analytics / statistics category) and applies it: accept = Full Tracking, refuse or no answer = cookie-free tracking.

Auto-detect (recommended)Use the detected plugin; show the built-in banner only if none is found.
Always use built-in bannerShow the Opti-Behavior banner even if a plugin is installed.
Always use <detected plugin>Never show the built-in banner; follow the plugin only.

Check it #

  1. Open your site in a private window: only your consent plugin’s banner appears.
  2. Refuse statistics cookies: no optibehavior cookie is created.
  3. Accept: the visit shows in Traffic with its country (Full Tracking).

Expected result #

Visitors see one banner, and Opti-Behavior follows the choice they made in it.

FAQ #

Choose Always use built-in banner, or use Anonymous Mode, which needs no consent.

Nothing is detected but my plugin is active. #

Clear the page cache and reload the settings page; some plugins load only on the front end.

No. Anonymous Mode sets no cookie, so it does not wait for consent.
