Consent Banner - frequent questions and problems • WP Full Picture

Consent banners only affect tracking tools that collect visitors’ personal information and/or information that can identify them (e.g. Google Analytics, Meta Pixel and most other tools).

After you enable the consent banner, they will start tracking fewer visitors – the difference is usually around 20% but in extreme situations can reach even 80% – depending on your user’s profile and the placement of the consent banner on the page.

We strongly recommend you place the banner in the central position of the screen and make it as big as possible. This will maximize the number of consents.

Tools that do not use cookies and do not track personal information (like Matomo or Plausible Analytics) will not be affected.

It can take up to 7 days for Google to realize, that you use consent mode.

However, if you still see warnings in Google Ads and Analytics panels after this period, you don’t need to worry. In most cases, this information is incorrect and needs to be manually turned off.

In this article, I explain where to check the correct information about the status of implementation of consent mode.

Yes, unless you set it up differently. Follow recommendations in the “GDPR setup helper” and / or seek legal advice.

No, because it doesn’t have to. WP Full Picture simply loads tracking tools according to visitor’s privacy choices.

And so, if a user declines using their data for a specific purpose, the tools are not loaded and no cookies are set.

The final effect is better than with blocking cookies because:

the site loads faster (because it doesn’t load tracking scripts that it may not use)
you are sure that the tracking tool did not collect user information or try to identify the user using other means than cookies (like LocalStorage or user sniffing for example)

In theory yes, but we are not testing if other solutions work with WP FP. You use them at your own risk. You should test them thoroughly.

No. There are no limits.

Enable geolocation module
disable your adblocker
visit your website in incognito mode or turn on Setup mode (from WP FP version 9.0)
add ?fp_set_country=[Country code] at the end of your website address. For example example.com/?fp_set_country=DE

Styling

Add this code in WP Admin > Appearance > Customizer > Additional CSS

This should place the banner in front of that element.

#fupi_cookie_notice{
 z-index: 9999999999999
}

All the information you need is in this article.

WP Full Picture does not add a border around the buttons. If you see a border, then probably your theme adds it. To remove it, you can either:

Remove the border in your theme options
Set a border in WP FP that matches the color of the buttons
or paste the CSS style below in the “Additional CSS” section in the theme Customizer (WP Admin > Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS)

.fupi_cta, .fupi_button{
   border-width: 0 !important;
   outline-width: 0 !important;
}

To remove the outline add this code in WP Admin > Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS

.fupi_content a{
 outline: none !important;
 text-decoration: underline !important;
}

Yes you can. We tested it in WPML and Polylang and they work fine. It is very likely that other translation plugins will work with it too, but we have not tested them.
