Cookie consent banner (CMP) for GDPR and Google Consent Mode v2. Paste your Cookienovo site code and the plugin does the rest.

== Description ==

Cookienovo is a consent management platform (CMP) that helps your website comply with GDPR and Google Consent Mode v2.

This plugin adds the official Cookienovo script to your WordPress site without touching your theme:

* **One field** – just paste your site code (from your Cookienovo account). You can paste the whole script too; we extract the token for you.
* **Google Consent Mode v2** – the plugin sets the default consent state before Google tags load (you can turn this off if you manage Consent Mode yourself).
* **Correct order** – the script is injected as early as possible in the page head so it works reliably.
* **No coding** – no changes to `header.php` or `functions.php`.

The plugin itself does not collect or send any personal data – it only loads the Cookienovo banner script based on your token. Consent handling happens on the Cookienovo service.

== External services ==

This plugin connects to the Cookienovo service to load the cookie‑consent banner. It is required for the plugin to work.

* **What it loads:** the banner script `client.js` from your configured Cookienovo domain (by default `https://cookienovo.com/assets/client.js`). The script tag includes your site token so the correct banner and cookie settings are shown.
* **When:** on every front‑end page view of your site, in the visitor's browser.
* **What is sent:** the visitor's browser loads the script and, when the visitor makes a choice, their consent decision is recorded by the Cookienovo service (an encrypted pseudonymous identifier and the choice). No data is sent or stored by this plugin itself.
* **Provider:** Cookienovo – https://cookienovo.com
* **Terms of Service:** https://cookienovo.com/vop
* **Privacy Policy:** https://cookienovo.com/gdpr

You need a Cookienovo account to obtain the site code used by this plugin.

== Installation ==

1. Upload the plugin via **Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin** and activate it.
2. Go to **Settings → Cookienovo**.
3. Paste your **site code** (from Cookienovo → Sites → your site) and save.
4. Done – the cookie banner appears to your visitors.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Where do I find my site code? =
In Cookienovo, open your site under Sites – the code (token) is part of the install script, which you also received in the welcome e‑mail.

= Do I have to edit my theme? =
No. The plugin injects the script into the page head automatically.

= Does it work with Google Tag Manager / Google Analytics? =
Yes. The plugin sets the Google Consent Mode v2 default before Google tags load. If you manage Consent Mode yourself in GTM, you can turn that option off in the plugin.

= Does the plugin collect any data? =
No. The plugin only loads the Cookienovo script. Consent is processed by the Cookienovo service (see "External services").
