WordPress & CookieTractor

To install CookieTractor in WordPress, it's perfectly fine just to follow the normal procedure for getting started. But you can also install our WordPress plugin to load CookieTractor directly into WordPress –  no code customization needed.

When using our WordPress plugin, consent choices made in CookieTractor are forwarded to and update the WP Consent API.

Guide to Installing CookieTractor

To implement CookieTractor on your website, you first need an account with us. Create a test account on our homepage if you don't already have one. Then log in to our tool and configure the site where you want to implement the consent dialog.

1) Download, install, and activate our plugin

Start by searching for our plugin within WordPress or downloading it from the WordPress Plugin Directory.

Click Install Now, and then Activate once the installation is complete.

2) Configure CookieTractor

Click on Settings in the list of plugins to access the plugin's configuration options.

Inside the plugin’s Settings, paste your Website Code, which you’ll find in our tool under the Installation tab – in the Main Script section.

If your website supports multiple languages, you can enable Use Site Language. This will use the site's language – including region – from the page request. If this setting is disabled, the cookie banner will render in the language/region specified in the data-lang attribute of the Website Code.

All set!

After saving the settings, the CookieTractor banner will automatically show on your site.

Shortcodes

CookieTractor’s WordPress plugin includes shortcodes that can be used to add certain functions directly to the content of a page.

[cookietractor_popup text="Open cookie settings"]

Displays a link with the specified text. When the visitor clicks the link, the cookie dialog opens, where the visitor can view, change or withdraw their consent.

[cookietractor_declaration]

Displays the website’s cookie list on the page. This can be used on a cookie policy or another information page where you want to show which cookies are used on the website.
