Real Cookie Banner 5.0 Now Available

Jan from devowl has just announced the release of Real Cookie Banner 5.0, the cookie banner and consent management plugin for WordPress.

New Features

One of the highlights of version 5.0 is the ability to obtain consent even without a visible cookie banner – ideal for websites that only use services with visual content blockers such as YouTube videos or essential services. In addition, you can automatically create a comprehensive cookie policy to provide your visitors with transparent information about data processing. With the new Sticky legal links widget, managing consents for your website visitors is even easier!

In addition, Real Cookie Banner is now fully translated by native speakers into Hungarian, Romanian, Greek, Finnish and Slovak, and adapted to the specific legal requirements of the EU countries where these languages are primarily spoken. As a result, Real Cookie Banner now supports all 17 languages that are primarily spoken in the EU and are used on more than 0.2% of all WordPress websites.

Finally, the new version of Real Cookie Banner offers security mechanisms for legally compliant data processing in third countries and enables the legally compliant use of Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) with automatic detection by the scanner. With support for Google Consent Mode (v2) and TCF v2.2 as well as 300 new updates and brand new service and content blocker templates and improved compatibility for over 60 services, Real Cookie Banner 5.0 provides even more options for obtaining consent.
