This plugin connects your site to app.cookieyes.com to enable features such as cookie scanning, syncing settings with your CookieYes account, and showing scan results and consent data in the dashboard. It also connects to feedback.cookieyes.com for collecting feedback when the plugin is deactivated. See our Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions for details on data collection and usage.
Our WordPress cookie plugin user guide will help you set up the plugin on your website.
CookieYes ships an AGENTS.md file, and a CLAUDE.md, in the plugin root. It gives AI coding assistants an agent-readable setup flow, the regulation coverage map, and a post-install verification checklist, so an assistant can install and configure the cookie banner without being walked through each step. Point your assistant at the plugin directory and ask it to set up CookieYes. It works with Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Gemini CLI, OpenAI Codex and any tool that follows the AGENTS.md convention.
