Pure JavaScript
Lightweight Cookie Notice works with a single small file (8kb gzipped) written in pure JavaScript and loaded in the page footer.
No additional files are added to the page. DOM elements- CSS styles- and events listeners are all generated with the only JavaScript file executed by the plugin.
By replacing your current cookie plugin with Lightweight Cookie Notice- you reduce the number of HTTP requests- which is incredibly beneficial for your SEO.
Geolocation
With this plugin- you can display the cookie notice only to visitors located in specific countries.
The position of the visitor is retrieved with the HostIP.info service or with the MaxMind GeoLite2 database.
Extremely Customizable
This plugin includes 112 customization options that you can use to control aspects like:
- The style and content of the cookie notice
- The style and content of the cookie settings modal window
- The geolocation services and the targeted countries
- The capabilities required to access the plugin menus
- Technical functionalities of the plugin

The following fields are available for each cookie:
Delete cookie preferences button
A convenient button to delete the preference of the user is provided. You can include this button in your cookie policy to give the users the ability to delete their cookie preferences.
Transients are supported
This plugin does not perform queries to the WordPress database because the cookie notice data are cached with the WordPress transient API.

Test Mode
Create the perfect cookie notice without actually displaying it on your live website. With this mode enabled- only the website administrator will see and interact with the cookie notice.
Gutenberg Ready
WordPress has changed- and the TinyMCE editor has been replaced with the new Gutenberg editor. This plugin comes with two dynamics Gutenberg blocks- one to display lists of cookies and one to show a delete cookie preferences button.
Import and Export
The import and export feature available in Lightweight Cookie Notice allows you to archive the plugin data as XML files- so you can quickly move a perfectly configured cookie notice between websites.
