<h2>What’s New in v1.7.0?</h2>
<h3>Regional Handling – Language and Time Zone-Based Enforcement Settings</h3>
<a href="https://github.com/aesirxio/wordpress-consent-plugin/releases/tag/1.7.0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AesirX CMP Version 1.7.0</a> introduces enhanced regional configuration capabilities, allowing your consent setup to automatically adjust based on the user’s location and legal environment. This includes:
Time zone detection to apply region-specific consent behavior
AesirX Consent Management Platform can now detect the user's time zone and apply the appropriate consent logic automatically – whether opt-in (e.g. GDPR regions) or opt-out (e.g. California).
→&nbsp;Benefit: You don’t need to hard-code regional rules. The system dynamically aligns with local laws, reducing configuration time and lowering your compliance risk.
<h4>Language configuration to present modals and choices in the user’s native language</h4>
Modals, buttons, and privacy choices are displayed in the user’s browser language or country-specific setting.
→&nbsp;Benefit:&nbsp;This ensures users understand what they’re consenting to – meeting legal requirements for informed consent and improving trust by providing a more transparent, localized experience.

AesirX CMP: Language configuration and Time Zone-Aware Consent
<h3>8 More Languages Now Supported (Total 25)</h3>
To support an even broader audience, this release adds eight new languages:
Languages added:
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">Finnish (FI)</li>
<li aria-level="1">Romanian (RO)</li>
<li aria-level="1">Hungarian (HU)</li>
<li aria-level="1">Indonesian (ID)</li>
<li aria-level="1">Hebrew (HE)</li>
<li aria-level="1">Czech (CS)</li>
<li aria-level="1">Greek (EL)</li>
<li aria-level="1">Malay (MS)</li>
</ul>
<h4>Why this matters:</h4>
Under privacy laws like the GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive, valid consent requires that users clearly understand what they are agreeing to. That includes presenting consent information in a language the user understands. By supporting 25 languages (with more to come), <a href="https://aesirx.io/solutions/consent-management-platform" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AesirX CMP</a> helps businesses meet this requirement – delivering localized consent dialogs that improve comprehension, reduce legal risk, and support valid user consent across jurisdictions.

AesirX CMP for WordPress v1.7.0: Smarter Regional Compliance with Enhanced Configuration Capabilities

Press Release Aesirx

AesirX CMP for WordPress v1.7.0 adds time zone-aware consent logic, time zone detection, and 25 languages for smarter, more flexible privacy compliance.

AesirX CMP for WordPress v1.7.0

Each week, more businesses implement “cookie banners” thinking they’ve done what’s required for privacy compliance. But there’s a growing misunderstanding in the industry - one that creates real legal risk:
Consent banners alone do not make your website compliant.
Why? Because it's not just about cookies. It’s about all tracking technologies.
That includes:
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">Beacons</li>
<li aria-level="1">Pixels</li>
<li aria-level="1">JavaScript-based tracking</li>
<li aria-level="1">SDKs</li>
<li aria-level="1">Server-side tracking</li>
<li aria-level="1">Tag management systems (TMS)</li>
</ul>
Every one of these methods can collect personal data, and many are activated before a user has given valid consent.
<img src="https/api.aesirx.io/images/https/api.aesirx.io/images/consent-banners-alone-do-not-make-your-website-compliant.png" alt="consent banners alone do not make your website compliant" width="2400" height="1260" />
<h2>The Legal Foundation: ePrivacy Directive and National Laws</h2>
Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive (as implemented in national laws like the UK's PECR, Norway’s Ekomloven, Vietnam's PDPL and other countries with clear consent requirements) requires that storing or accessing information on a user’s device may only take place with the user’s prior consent, unless it's strictly necessary for the service the user has requested.
Consent under both the ePrivacy Directive and GDPR must be:
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">Freely given</li>
<li aria-level="1">Specific</li>
<li aria-level="1">Informed</li>
<li aria-level="1">Unambiguous</li>
</ul>
This means any tracking technology - whether it places a cookie or not - cannot be activated before consent has been obtained.
And yet, server-side tagging and tag management systems like Google Tag Manager are regularly implemented in a way that pre-loads third-party trackers or sends data to external vendors before the user has had the opportunity to understand or agree to that processing.
If the user isn’t aware, and hasn’t agreed to the full scope of tracking, consent is invalid.
<h2>Server-Side Tagging and Google Tag Manager: Compliance Concerns</h2>
Server-side tracking and tag management systems are often presented as privacy-preserving alternatives. But the reality is more nuanced:
These solutions still process and route personal data - often to third parties such as Google, Facebook, or other advertising networks.
In many cases, data is collected and transmitted regardless of user consent, simply because scripts are embedded server-side or controlled from a centralized tag manager. Without proper control and enforcement mechanisms, these tools can become invisible vectors of non-compliant tracking.
One key example is Google Tag Manager (GTM). When GTM is loaded, it immediately results in the transfer of the user's IP address and potentially exposes the entire DOM and Data Layer to Google. This constitutes personal data processing under both the ePrivacy Directive (ePD) and GDPR as well as other legal foundations.
“As such, GTM cannot be legally loaded before consent is obtained - because it enables the access and transfer of data not strictly necessary for delivering the service the user requested.”
It’s also worth emphasizing:
“Moving GTM (or any tracking logic) to a first-party environment does not eliminate the requirement for consent.”
Under Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive (PECR, Ekomloven, PDPL, etc.), any collection or access to information from a user’s device - first-party or third-party - that is not strictly technically necessary, requires prior consent. This includes analytics, personalization, marketing, and performance tracking.
Using these tools does not bypass the need for explicit, informed, prior consent. If tracking or data transmission happens before that, it is a clear breach of the ePrivacy Directive.

<img src="https/api.aesirx.io/images/https/api.aesirx.io/images/bonnier-news-ab-fined-13-million-sek-by-the-swedish-authorities.png" alt="bonnier news ab fined 13 million sek by the swedish authorities" width="2400" height="1260" />
<h2>Real-World Enforcement: Bonnier AB Case</h2>
This is not theoretical - regulators are now enforcing this aggressively.
In November 2023, Bonnier News AB was fined 13 million SEK by the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection (IMY) and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/full-analysis-imy-case-against-bonnier-news-ab-moment-christiansen-8xiqc/">ruled by Forvaltningsretten</a> in Stockholm February 2025. Why?
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">They collected consent for the use of cookies for certain purposes.</li>
<li aria-level="1">But once data was collected, it was shared with multiple third parties.</li>
<li aria-level="1">That data was used for additional purposes beyond those explicitly consented to.</li>
</ul>
The IMY made it clear: consent must match the actual processing. If consent is obtained for one purpose and data is later shared or reused for others, it is a violation of GDPR and ePrivacy.
This case highlights the growing risk of mismatched consent - something that’s especially common when using tag managers, complex marketing stacks, or third-party tracking solutions.
<h2>Enforcement is Scaling: Automated Monitoring is Here</h2>
The regulatory landscape is rapidly shifting:
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">The UK ICO has started <a href="https://ico.org.uk/about-the-ico/media-centre/news-and-blogs/2025/01/ico-takes-action-to-tackle-cookie-compliance-across-the-uk-s-top-1-000-websites/">systematically monitoring the top 1,000 websites</a> in the country.</li>
<li aria-level="1">The Dutch DPA is doing the same for the <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/posts/ronnikc_ap-waarschuwt-50-organisaties-om-misleidende-activity-7317867442410532864-jy75?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=member_desktop&amp;rcm=ACoAAAGAuZQBE5WKyUehmu2_z0IQ9ReAwrh9NRY">top 10,000 websites in the Netherlands</a>.</li>
<li aria-level="1">Other DPAs are expected to follow suit, adopting automated, ongoing scanning of public websites.</li>
</ul>
This is significant. Unlike the GDPR, where compliance is often assessed via internal documentation and process audits, ePrivacy Directive compliance is technical - and binary:
You are either compliant, or you are not.
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">Tracking occurs before consent? You're in breach.</li>
<li aria-level="1">Data is shared without the proper legal basis? You're in breach.</li>
<li aria-level="1">Your consent banner doesn’t reflect actual tracking behavior? You're in breach.</li>
</ul>
There is no in-between.
<h2>Continuous Monitoring Is Now Essential</h2>
At AesirX, we anticipated this shift and built our <a href="https://aesirx.io/services/privacy-monitoring/why-privacy-monitoring">Privacy Monitoring Service</a> accordingly.
We provide:
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">Continuous scanning of your website to identify unauthorized trackers</li>
<li aria-level="1">Detection of server-side and tag-managed tracking that bypasses consent</li>
<li aria-level="1">Real-time alerts when new technologies are embedded that may put you at risk</li>
</ul>
Your website is constantly changing - marketing teams deploy new tools, developers push updates, vendors introduce tracking scripts via integrations. Without continuous oversight, your site can become non-compliant overnight.
Privacy is not a one-time project. It’s an ongoing responsibility.
<h2>Key Takeaways for Compliance</h2>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">If your compliance strategy starts and ends with a cookie banner, it’s insufficient.</li>
<li aria-level="1">If your server-side tagging or tag manager loads third-party scripts before consent, it’s unlawful.</li>
<li aria-level="1">If your actual data processing exceeds the scope of what users consented to, it's a violation.</li>
</ul>
Today’s regulatory landscape demands transparency, technical accuracy, and continuous monitoring.
That’s not just best practice - it’s now a requirement.

Consent banners alone don’t make your site compliant. It’s not just cookies – unmanaged tracking tech puts your business at legal risk.

No, It's Not Just Cookies – It's All Tracking Technologies

Blog Aesirx

It’s not just cookies – tracking tech like pixels, beacons, and GTM also need consent under GDPR and ePrivacy Directive. Regulators are now enforcing this.

We’re excited to announce the release of <a href="https://github.com/aesirxio/wordpress-consent-plugin/releases/tag/1.6.0">AesirX Consent Management Platform (CMP) for WordPress v1.6.0</a> – delivering even more flexibility and usability to support global compliance.
This update introduces configurable consent logic for opt-in/opt-out control, giving site administrators the ability to align tracking behavior with jurisdictional requirements – whether operating under GDPR in Europe or CCPA in California. It also adds eight new languages, helping more users understand and manage consent in their native language.
As regulations continue to evolve across GDPR, ePrivacy Directive, CCPA/CPRA, and more, AesirX CMP stays ahead – giving you the tools to comply without compromising user trust or data transparency.

</div>
<h2>What’s New in v1.6.0?</h2>
<h3>Configurable Consent Logic: Opt-In / Opt-Out Control</h3>
This version introduces Configurable Consent Logic, giving site owners and legal teams control over how consent is handled based on jurisdictional requirements. Whether you operate in Europe, California, or globally, your site can now be configured to comply with local laws and user expectations.
How it works:
⮕&nbsp;Choose between opt-in and opt-out models directly within the CMP dashboard.
⮕&nbsp;Opt-in is required under GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive (EU), meaning no tracking until consent is explicitly given.
⮕&nbsp;Opt-out is permitted under laws like California’s CCPA/CPRA, where tracking may occur until users actively opt out.
⮕&nbsp;Easily switch logic based on your legal, regional, or operational needs.
Why this matters:
Consent obligations vary across legal frameworks. In the EU, the GDPR and ePrivacy Directive require an opt-in model, where no tracking occurs until a user explicitly consents.
In the U.S., California’s CPRA (California Privacy Protection Agency) follows an opt-out model, allowing data collection by default – but requiring businesses to provide a clear opt-out mechanism.
Under CPRA, businesses must honor:
– Manual opt-out actions (e.g. clicking a “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link or opt-ing out directly), and
– Automated opt-out preference signals like Global Privacy Control (GPC) – which must be processed without adding friction or requiring extra steps from the user.
This makes consent logic configuration a compliance-critical feature. With AesirX CMP, you can:
<ol>
<li aria-level="1">Choose between opt-in or opt-out modes based on jurisdiction.</li>
<li aria-level="1">Support CPRA requirements by aligning site behavior with opt-out obligations.</li>
<li aria-level="1">Get ready for advanced features that will enable automatic regional logic and GPC-based behavior in future releases.</li>
</ol>

AesirX CMP for WordPress v1.6.0

It tells users they’re in control. It tells you you're compliant. But the truth? Most websites relying on third-party cookie banners aren’t even close.
They’re still tracking users before consent. They’re still exposed to legal risk. And they’re still treating privacy like a UX problem instead of a technical one.
Because here’s the reality: cookies are only part of the story.
Modern websites track using pixels, fingerprinting, local/session storage, embedded third-party tech, and server-side analytics. Most consent tools don’t even try to stop those. They’re built to look compliant, not be compliant.
<h2>The Dutch Data Protection Authority just made this clear.</h2>
This week, they warned 50 organizations - web shops, media companies, and insurers - to fix their cookie banners or face formal investigations and fines. These are the first 50 from a pool of 10,000 sites being actively monitored by the AP (<a href="https://autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl/actueel/ap-waarschuwt-50-organisaties-om-misleidende-cookiebanner">read here</a>).
They’re not guessing anymore. They’re scanning, checking, and demanding technical compliance.
And that’s exactly what we do at AesirX.
<div class="px-md-40px py-20px border rounded-4 shadow mb-5">
“Technical compliance is binary; either it’s done right or it’s not.” – Ronni K. Gothard Christiansen, Creator of AesirX.io
</div>
<h2>This isn’t hypothetical. It’s happening every day.</h2>
Just last week, I helped a client untangle this exact mess.
They were using a popular third-party cookie banner - it looked clean, ticked all the boxes. But behind the scenes?
⮕&nbsp;14 third-party cookies firing before consent
⮕&nbsp;More than half were wrongly categorized
⮕&nbsp;And here’s the kicker: 23 beacons - pixel trackers, JavaScripts, SDKs - were loading silently, without any opt-in or even opt-out options
No transparency. No user choice. Just hidden tracking - exactly what regulators are looking for.
They thought they were compliant. But the reality? Their setup was a privacy risk waiting to be flagged - and fined.
Most websites aren’t malicious. They’re just relying on tools that don’t actually do the job.
<h2>Using the right tool for the job.</h2>
With AesirX CMP Pro, we’ve built a real privacy layer, not a pretty overlay. No shortcuts. No grey zones. Just tools that actually do what regulators require.
⮕&nbsp;Detects and blocks all tracking technologies (not just cookies)
⮕ Automatically respects GPC (Global Privacy Control) browser signals
⮕ Lets you define opt-in or opt-out logic per region
⮕&nbsp;Offers full consent logging and audit-ready tracking
⮕&nbsp;Already localized for key markets, with 33 languages rolling out in weekly sprints
⮕&nbsp;Transparent, customizable UI for real user control
<a href="https://aesirx.io/blog/press-release/aesirx-cmp-for-wordpress-v1-5-0-consent-logging-and-more-customizable-user-control">AesirX CMP 1.5.0</a> just launched with enhanced consent logging, better modal control, and 8 more languages. AesirX CMP 1.6.0 (coming this week) adds configurable logic for opt-in and opt-out setups. We're not just shipping features - we're building the infrastructure for global, technical compliance.
You can try <a href="https://aesirx.io/solutions/consent-management-platform">AesirX CMP Pro</a> completely free. Just download it from our <a href="https://github.com/aesirxio/wordpress-consent-plugin/releases/download/1.5.0/plg_aesirx_consent.zip">GitHub repository</a> and install it in WordPress. It takes minutes to configure - and it works from the first load. No credit card. No lock-in. Just 2 weeks of full access to see what real compliance looks like.
And if you're unsure where your site stands, run a scan with our <a href="https://aesirx.io/services/privacy-scanner">free Privacy Scanner</a>. It checks exactly what regulators are checking - and not just cookies.
Privacy is no longer optional. And now, doing nothing about it isn’t an option either..

Your cookie banner is lying to you

Most cookie banners look compliant but aren’t. AesirX CMP Pro blocks all tracking before consent – for real privacy compliance, not just appearances.

We’re excited to release <a href="https://github.com/aesirxio/wordpress-consent-plugin/releases/tag/1.5.0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AesirX Consent Management Platform (CMP) for WordPress v1.5.0</a>, continuing our mission to provide a transparent, privacy-first consent experience.
This version introduces a detailed consent logging view for transparency and audits, full text control across consent modal options for brand and legal alignment, a streamlined menu interface that simplifies setup and management, and eight new languages to support global user engagement.
As regulatory expectations grow across GDPR, ePrivacy Directive, CCPA/CPRA and beyond, AesirX CMP strengthens its position as a first-party, privacy-first consent management solution, and continues to evolve with features that support real compliance and informed user choices.

</div>
<h2>What’s New in v1.5.0?</h2>
<h3>Improved Consent Logging View&nbsp;</h3>
A new backend consent logging view is available for transparency and audit readiness, now showing detailed logs of user consent actions like consent, revocation, and rejection. This not only helps site owners meet compliance requirements, but also reveals where users are choosing not to consent – offering valuable insights for improving how marketing data is collected.
How it works:
⮕&nbsp;Track timestamped records of when users gave consent, revocation, and rejection.
⮕ Explore visual consent trends over time with built-in charts and graphs for daily, weekly, or monthly breakdowns.
⮕&nbsp;Data is stored securely in the CMP database, and reports can be generated directly from the interface to support compliance efforts.
Why this matters:
Most CMPs lack meaningful visibility into how users interact with consent options. <a href="https://aesirx.io/solutions/consent-management-platform" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AesirX Consent Management Platform</a> offers clear, structured insights into consent behavior – supporting both regulatory compliance, including audit readiness, and data strategy improvements.

AesirX CMP: Improved Consent Logging
<h3>Customizable Consent Modal: Full Text Control and Granular Consent&nbsp;</h3>
The Consent Modal Management view has been enhanced to give administrators full control over the consent experience. AesirX CMP now allows all modal text – across consent, detail, and reject views – to be customized directly within the platform, making it easy to align with your brand voice, legal requirements, and data strategy.
How it works:
⮕ Edit predefined text for Consent, Detail, and Reject views, including headings, descriptions, and benefits.
⮕ Customize messaging for options like “Reject”, “Consent”, and “Decentralized Consent”, including explanations of what each means.
⮕ Preview and reset individual sections, making it easy to test and adjust your modal content as needed.
Why this matters:
Most consent banners are rigid and generic. AesirX CMP lets you communicate transparently with users – explaining their choices, encouraging informed and fully compliant consent, and supporting advanced models like Decentralized Consent with privacy and rewards. Full text customization ensures that your consent modal reflects your specific data practices and values – improving clarity, trust, and user engagement.

<h2>Where Privacy, Verification, and Data Ownership Converge</h2>
Privacy is no longer just a compliance checkbox – it’s the foundation of trust in the digital world. At AesirX, we've pioneered the Decentralized Seamless Compliant Business Model, a <a href="https://aesirx.io/solutions/analytics" target="_blank" rel="noopener" style="color: #1ab394;">privacy-first</a> framework that enables businesses to interact with consumers without processing or storing their personal data.
This approach is not only compliant by design - it’s built for long-term scalability and alignment with global digital identity standards.
The model is made possible by combining:
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">Blockchain-based digital identity (via Concordium and others)</li>
<li aria-level="1">Indirect Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs)</li>
<li aria-level="1">Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs)</li>
<li aria-level="1">EUDI Wallets and mDL Wallets</li>
<li aria-level="1"><a href="https://shield.aesirx.io" target="_blank" rel="noopener" style="color: #1ab394;">AesirX Shield of Privacy (SoP)</a></li>
<li aria-level="1"><a href="https://aesirx.io/solutions/consent-management-platform" target="_blank" rel="noopener" style="color: #1ab394;">AesirX Consent Management Platform (CMP)</a></li>
</ul>
These technologies collectively redefine how personal data is verified and protected online- while remaining frictionless for the user and scalable for organizations.
<h2>Concordium + MitID + Shield of Privacy: Already Live and Proven</h2>
Two years ago, we became the first to integrate indirect Zero-Knowledge Proofs into a working identity and consent architecture - launching the first version of the <a href="https://shield.aesirx.io" target="_blank" rel="noopener" style="color: #1ab394;">AesirX Shield of Privacy</a> together with Concordium, a leading Layer 1 blockchain with built-in ID verification.
This milestone was achieved through Denmark’s MitID national eID system, allowing Danish citizens to:
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">Create a Concordium ID and wallet using MitID</li>
<li aria-level="1">Grant granular, revocable <a href="https://aesirx.io/solutions/consent-management-platform" target="_blank" rel="noopener" style="color: #1ab394;">consent using the AesirX CMP</a></li>
<li aria-level="1">And perform real-time age and country verification through our Shield of Privacy, without sharing their personal data</li>
</ul>
This working setup enables users to verify they are, for example, over 18 and living in Denmark - without exposing their birthdate or address. The business receives proof, not personal information, and does not become a data processor or controller.
This is not a prototype. It is live. It is operational. And it works.
<h2>Shield of Privacy: Redefining Online Credential Verification</h2>
At the heart of our framework is the AesirX Shield of Privacy, designed to act as a privacy firewall between the user and the digital service. The SoP enables:
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">Verification without exposure</li>
<li aria-level="1">Consent without loss of control</li>
<li aria-level="1">Compliance without risk of overreach</li>
</ul>
While many in the blockchain space still explore Zero-Knowledge Proofs for performance gains, we were the first to deploy indirect ZKPs as a privacy and compliance layer - specifically for protecting digital identities and enabling arms-length, compliant business models.
It gives businesses the ability to engage users in ways that respect privacy, eliminate liability, and build trust.
<img src="https/api.aesirx.io/images/https/api.aesirx.io/images/https/api.aesirx.io/images/https/api.aesirx.io/images/shield-of-privacy-redefining-online-credential-verification.png" alt="shield of privacy redefining online credential verification" width="1200" height="628" />
<h2>Decentralized Identity Standards: EUDI Wallets and mDL Wallets</h2>
The global trend is moving in the same direction.
EUDI Wallets, under the European Union’s Digital Identity Framework, and mobile Driving License (mDL) Wallets, emerging globally under ISO standards, will soon allow users to store and present verifiable credentials on their devices.
Through integration with SoP and CMP, these wallets can be used to:
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">Confirm age eligibility</li>
<li aria-level="1">Prove country of residence</li>
<li aria-level="1">Secure access to regulated services</li>
</ul>
Without disclosing unnecessary information.
Without storing personal data in corporate databases.
And without shifting liability to businesses.
Our vision - and active development - ensures that indirect ZKPs and privacy-preserving verifications become standard capabilities of EUDI and mDL Wallets, just as we’ve proven with Concordium and MitID.
<h2>SoP + CMP: The Foundation of Privacy-Native Architecture</h2>
Together, our core privacy technologies create a secure, compliant, and user-controlled identity infrastructure:
<h3>AesirX CMP (Consent Management Platform)</h3>
Our <a href="https://aesirx.io/solutions/consent-management-platform" target="_blank" rel="noopener" style="color: #1ab394;">first-party CMP</a> enables direct, transparent consent handling between the website or e-commerce owner and the visitor. Consent is captured at the point of interaction and managed in a compliant, auditable way - without relying on third-party intermediaries.
When&nbsp;<a href="https://shield.aesirx.io" target="_blank" rel="noopener" style="color: #1ab394;">decentralized identity</a> is in use, the CMP can also support decentralized consent, where the wallet signs the consent request, delivering cryptographic proof of the user's intent.
Combined with the Shield of Privacy, this model ensures that consent is not only freely given and revocable, but also verifiable and privacy-respecting by design.
<h3>AesirX Shield of Privacy (SoP)</h3>
Verifications happen through indirect ZKPs, meaning businesses never see or store the underlying data. They receive only proof of compliance.
This stack allows any organization to:
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">Deliver regulation-compliant services (GDPR, ePrivacy, etc.)</li>
<li aria-level="1">Offer secure identity and age verification</li>
<li aria-level="1">Eliminate exposure to PII</li>
<li aria-level="1">Build trust through transparency and consent</li>
</ul>
<h2>Built to Scale Across Industries and Jurisdictions</h2>
Our architecture is adaptable across a wide range of sectors:
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">eCommerce: Age or region verification without user profiling</li>
<li aria-level="1">Gaming &amp; Media: Restricted content access with privacy safeguards</li>
<li aria-level="1">Financial Services: KYC light models through verified credentials</li>
<li aria-level="1">Public Sector: Government service access without centralized identity silos</li>
</ul>
What we've demonstrated in Denmark with Concordium + MitID is a working model - designed to scale and align with future identity standards globally.
<h2>The Opportunity for First Movers</h2>
We believe this is the future of digital interaction:
Compliant by design. Privacy-preserving by architecture. And completely user-centric.
We are now inviting forward-thinking organizations and companies - those who want to be first movers in privacy-first digital identity and compliance - to join us.
<h4>If you're exploring:</h4>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">New ways to meet regulatory requirements</li>
<li aria-level="1">Secure onboarding and identity verification</li>
<li aria-level="1">Integration with EUDI Wallets, mDLs, or Concordium</li>
<li aria-level="1">Decentralized infrastructure and consent with zero data liability</li>
</ul>
We’d like to work with you.
Let’s explore how the Decentralized Seamless Compliant Business Model can be implemented in your organization today.

The Decentralized, Seamless, Compliant Business Model

Verify users without storing their data. AesirX makes privacy-first, compliant interactions possible with its decentralized, compliant model.

Another week, another privacy scandal hidden in plain sight.
A <a href="https://innovation.consumerreports.org/Mixed-Signals-Many-Companies-May-Be-Ignoring-Opt-Out-Requests-Under-State-Privacy-Laws.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener" style="color: #1ab394;">new investigation</a> by Consumer Reports reveals that 30% of major brand-name retailers continued to serve targeted ads to consumers even after they sent valid Global Privacy Control (GPC) opt-out signals. Consumers followed the rules, exercised their "right to opt-out" – and were ignored! This is not a bug in the system; it’s the system itself.
But the deeper issue is not just poor compliance. It’s the false promise of opt-out privacy models.
Once your data is shared or sold, it's game over.
You can "opt-out" of future tracking, but there is no meaningful mechanism to claw back the data that’s already been sold, stored, profiled, or traded across a sprawling network of ad tech middlemen and Data Brokers.
The cat is out of the bag, and no "Delete My Data" button will ever fully put it back in.
<h2>The Reality of Opt-Out: A Broken System</h2>
The test in this report only scratched the surface. It focused narrowly on retargeting ads based on third-party cookies.
If the researchers had used more advanced methods (like active-active monitoring) and dug into server-side data sharing or ID matching, the non-compliance rate would not have stopped at 30% - it would likely have skyrocketed.
Because in reality:
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">Most opt-outs only stop the next cookie drop. They do not stop the downstream data trade.</li>
<li aria-level="1">There is no technical rollback of previously shared data. If data was sold yesterday, today's opt-out won't unsell it.</li>
<li aria-level="1">Compliance often focuses only on cookie banners, not the data supply chain. And that's where the real privacy breach happens.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Opt-In Is the Only Way Forward</h2>
The only meaningful way to protect consumers is through a default “No” position – where data collection, sharing, and profiling require clear, explicit, informed consent. Opt-in ensures that the data isn’t collected in the first place unless the user actively chooses to share it. That’s real control.
Anything less is a privacy charade. Opt-out mechanisms create an illusion that users can "take back" control – but it’s an after-the-fact, damage-control fantasy in a surveillance economy that runs on non-revocable, non-transparent data trading.
<h2>We Need to Change the Narrative</h2>
It’s time to stop debating how to enforce opt-out and start demanding opt-in as the default. Because when privacy is designed around revoking access to data after it's already leaked, we are not protecting consumers - we're protecting an outdated, exploitative business model.
If you care about meaningful privacy, the question isn’t "how do we improve opt-outs?" The question is: Why aren't we requiring opt-in everywhere?
Your data shouldn’t be a product unless you choose to sell it.

E-Commerce Awards 2025: Privacy Compliance Still Falls Shortblog

We’re pleased to announce the release of AesirX CMP for WordPress v1.4.0, introducing full support for Global Privacy Control (GPC) – a privacy signal that allows users to opt out of tracking automatically via their browser settings.
With this release, AesirX Consent Management Platform (CMP) strengthens its position as a first-party, privacy-first consent management solution, offering compliance not only with GDPR, ePrivacy Directive, and CCPA/CPRA, but now also with GPC, further expanding its global regulatory coverage.
<div class="px-4 px-md-40px py-20px border rounded-4 shadow mb-5">

</div>
<h2>What’s New in v1.4.0?</h2>
<h3>Automatic GPC Signal Detection and Opt-Out</h3>
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and its amendment, the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), businesses are required to honor GPC signals as a valid opt-out of the sale or sharing of personal information.
AesirX CMP now automatically detects if a visitor’s browser sends a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. If detected, all non-essential tracking is automatically rejected without requiring any user interaction.
This delivers immediate compliance with privacy frameworks like CCPA/CPRA that recognize the GPC signal as a valid opt-out mechanism.
<h4>How it works:</h4>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">AesirX CMP checks for the GPC signal via the browser’s navigator.globalPrivacyControl property.</li>
<li aria-level="1">If the signal is present, the CMP enforces an automatic opt-out by rejecting all non-essential cookies and trackers.</li>
<li aria-level="1">The user interface updates dynamically to reflect the opt-out state.</li>
</ul>
<img src="https/api.aesirx.io/images/https/api.aesirx.io/images/https/api.aesirx.io/images/https/api.aesirx.io/images/aesirx-cmp-automatic-gpc-signal-detection-and-opt-out.png" alt="aesirx cmp automatic gpc signal detection and opt out" width="942" height="475" />
AesirX CMP: Automatic GPC signal detection and opt-out
<h3>Integration with IAB's U.S. Privacy (USP) API</h3>
To enable full compliance with CCPA/CPRA, AesirX CMP now also updates the IAB USP API when a GPC signal is detected.
Through this integration:
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">The GPC opt-out is reflected across ad tech platforms using the IAB framework.</li>
<li aria-level="1">Websites remain compliant with the latest U.S. privacy regulations.</li>
</ul>
<h3>New "GPC Compliance" Settings Page</h3>
AesirX CMP v1.4.0 introduces a dedicated GPC Compliance section in the WordPress admin panel, making it easy for site owners to manage their GPC implementation.
The settings page includes:
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">Option to enable or disable GPC support.</li>
<li aria-level="1">A dynamically generated gpc.json file containing GPC status and your site’s privacy policy link.</li>
<li aria-level="1">A Download button to retrieve the gpc.json file.</li>
<li aria-level="1">Step-by-step manual upload instructions to place the file under /.well-known/gpc.json on your server.</li>
<li aria-level="1">A pre-written section to help you update your Privacy Policy to reflect GPC compliance.</li>
</ul>
This approach maintains compatibility across all WordPress hosting environments, without relying on server-specific configuration like .htaccess rules.

AesirX CMP: New GPC compliance settings page
<h2>Why GPC Matters</h2>
The Global Privacy Control initiative is gaining momentum across jurisdictions and is increasingly being recognized as a valid mechanism for expressing user privacy choices. Major browsers and browser extensions now support it, and several regulatory bodies – especially in the United States – require websites to honor GPC signals as part of their compliance obligations.&nbsp;
Specifically, the California Attorney General and California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) have both affirmed that under CCPA/CPRA, honoring GPC signals is mandatory for covered businesses.
By adding GPC support, AesirX Consent Management Platform allows your WordPress website to respect these privacy choices automatically, reducing compliance risk while improving user trust.
<h2>Upcoming Features</h2>
After v1.4.0’s release, our roadmap continues with key enhancements:
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">Improved Consent Logging &amp; Compliance Monitoring A complete backend and frontend logging system will be introduced to provide full visibility into consent actions, including GPC-based opt-outs. This will support audit readiness and help administrators demonstrate compliance. </li>
<li aria-level="1">Geo-Based Consent Model Handling Dynamically apply Opt-In (for GDPR) or Opt-Out (for CCPA) consent models based on a user’s browser language and time zone – without relying on third-party geo-location APIs. </li>
<li>Advanced Analytics &amp; Region-Based Consent Trends Reporting tools for consent behavior by region, category, and GPC signal detection are in development.</li>
