<h2>2. Events</h2>
<p>All events are dispatched on <span style="color: #339966;">window</span> as <span style="color: #339966;">CustomEvents</span>.</p>
<div class="table-responsive table-bordered">
<table class="table">

</div>
<h2>3. Feature Opt‑In (per‑feature modal)</h2>
<p>Use <strong>Opt‑In</strong> when a specific feature (e.g., payment, embedded map, video, chat) needs consent at the moment of use.</p>
<h3><strong>Global (vanilla JS)</strong></h3>
<p>{code}optInVanillaJS{/code}</p>
<h3>NextJS</h3>
<p>Create a provider for <strong>Opt-In Consent</strong></p>
<p>{code}optInNextJSProvider{/code}</p>
<p>To enable the opt-in consent modal globally in your application, you need to wrap your root component with <span style="color: #3366ff;">ConsentContextProvider</span>. This makes the consent state and the <strong>handleOpen()</strong> trigger function available anywhere in your app via <strong>useConsentContext()</strong>.</p>
<p>{code}optInNextJSWrapper{/code}</p>
<p>Trigger opt-in consent modal from a component</p>
<p>{code}optInTrigger{/code}&nbsp;</p>
<h3>ReactJS</h3>
<p>Create a provider for <strong>Opt-In Consent</strong></p>
<p>{code}optInNextJSProvider{/code}</p>
<p>To enable the opt-in consent modal globally in your application, you need to wrap your app with <span style="color: #3366ff;">ConsentContextProvider</span>. This makes the consent state and the <strong>handleOpen()</strong> trigger function available anywhere in your app via <strong>useConsentContext().</strong></p>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">If using CRA → index.js</li>
<li>If using Vite → main.jsx</li>

<p>{code}optInReactJSWrapper{/code}</p>
<p>Trigger opt-in consent modal from a component</p>
<p>{code}optInTrigger{/code}</p>
<h2>4. Opt‑In Consent: End‑to‑End Example (Vanilla)</h2>

<h2>7. Accessibility &amp; UX</h2>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">Modal: role,<span style="color: #339966;"> aria-labelledby, aria-describedby</span>, focus trap, ESC to close.</li>
<li aria-level="1">Keyboard path to Accept/Reject. No <span style="color: #339966;">alert()</span> for rejections; use inline fallbacks.</li>
<li aria-level="1">Clear purpose descriptions; no pre‑ticked toggles.</li>
<li aria-level="1">Respect GPC where required; reflect status in UI text.</li>
</ul>
<h2>8. Appendix - ISO/IEC 27560 Mapping (Consent Receipt)</h2>
<p>AesirX CMP maintains first‑party consent logs compatible with 27560 fields. Typical record fields:</p>
<div class="table-responsive table-bordered">
<table class="table">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td style="text-align: center;"><strong>Field (ISO/IEC 27560) </strong></td>
<td style="text-align: center;"><strong>AesirX CMP Field / Note </strong></td>

</tbody>
</table>
</div>
<p>Export profile: Provide an exporter to output JSON/CSV for audits. (If using ZK proofs, store the proof receipt hash and reference to on‑chain anchor.)</p>
<h2>10. Embedding in Popular CMS &amp; Ecommerce (Generic)</h2>
<p>The standalone bundle works anywhere you can inject HTML/JS. Prefer <strong>self‑hosting</strong> and add CSP nonces if your site uses a strict CSP.</p>
<h3>WordPress (theme/site without plugin)</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Where</strong>: <span style="color: #339966;">header.php</span> (or via a Code Snippets plugin) for bundle include; initialize in a small inline <span style="color: #339966;"></span></li>

<h2>Notes &amp; Teardown Guidance</h2>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">Many ad/analytics vendors lack explicit teardown APIs; withdrawal should <strong>block future usage</strong> and hide UI/features. For chat/players, remove iframes/widgets from DOM on withdrawal.</li>
<li aria-level="1">Keep <strong>purpose names stable</strong> and <strong>audited</strong>.</li>
<li>Always prefer <strong>self‑hosting</strong> where vendors allow it and keep network to first‑party when feasible.</li>
</ul>

<hr />
<p>Save time with ready-made cookie banner templates and avoid GDPR fines with clear consent settings using our CMP plugin.</p>
<p>This step-by-step consent implementation guide is designed for developers and site owners using <a href="https://aesirx.io/solutions/consent-management-platform" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AesirX Consent Management Platform (CMP)</a>. It explains how to edit your cookie consent banner content using AI Privacy Advisor.</p>
<h2>Step 1: Install and Activate AesirX CMP</h2>
<p><img src="https/api.aesirx.io/images/https/api.aesirx.io/images/https/api.aesirx.io/images/https/api.aesirx.io/images/Step_1__Install_and_Activate_AesirX_CMP_1.jpg" alt="Step 1 Install and Activate AesirX CMP 1" width="1429" height="759" /></p>

<li aria-level="1">Then go to <strong>WP admin &gt; Add Plugin &gt; Upload Plugin &gt; Choose file &gt; Choose the package downloaded &gt; Install Now.</strong></li>
</ol>
<p><em><strong>Note:</strong> The banner loads client-side from your first-party domain (per compliance), and no third-party trackers are allowed to fire before consent is provided (as mandated under ePrivacy Directive 5(3) and GDPR).</em></p>
<p><img src="https/api.aesirx.io/images/https/api.aesirx.io/images/https/api.aesirx.io/images/https/api.aesirx.io/images/step-2-login-aesirx-cmp.jpg" alt="step 2 login aesirx cmp" width="1429" height="759" /></p>
<h2>Step 2: Access the Consent Modal Settings</h2>
<p><img src="https/api.aesirx.io/images/https/api.aesirx.io/images/https/api.aesirx.io/images/https/api.aesirx.io/images/step-3-access-the-consent-modal-settings.jpg" alt="step 3 access the consent modal settings" width="1415" height="758" /></p>
<p>This is where you can change the text that appears in your cookie banner, including headlines and descriptions.</p>
<ol>
<li aria-level="1">Click <strong>Consent Modal</strong> in the sidebar menu.</li>
<li aria-level="1">Edit the content:</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>a.&nbsp;Customize ‘Consent Management’ Text</strong></p>
<p>Edit the main message shown in your banner to clearly explain your site’s use of tracking technologies and why consent is requested. Avoid vague language. Clearly state what data is collected and for what purposes to stay compliant.</p>
<p><strong>b.&nbsp;Customize ‘Details’ Text</strong></p>
<p>Use this section to give users a deeper explanation of their privacy choices. Outline what each option means <strong>(Reject, Consent, Decentralized Consent)</strong> and the benefits or trade-offs of each, so users can make an informed decision. Write in plain, user-friendly language. Focus on clarity, not legal terms. Show users what they gain or lose with each option to support genuine, informed consent.</p>
<p><strong>c. Link Your Privacy Policy</strong></p>
<p>Always link your own website’s Privacy Policy, not a template or the AesirX example version. Your Privacy Policy must reflect your actual data practices. Use our guide: <a href="https://aesirx.io/documentation/cmp/how-to/aesirx-cmp-guide-how-to-generate-a-privacy-policy-with-ai" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AesirX Consent Management Platform Guide: How to Generate a Privacy Policy with AI for support.</a></p>
<h2>Step 3: Understand What Happens Based on User Choices</h2>
<ol>
<li aria-level="1"><strong>Reject:</strong> No cookies or trackers are loaded; only essential functionality is allowed. Consent is logged as rejected.</li>
<li aria-level="1"><strong>Consent:</strong> All approved categories (analytics, marketing, etc.) activate their scripts. Consent is logged.</li>
<li aria-level="1"><strong>Customize:</strong> Users can choose exactly which categories of data collection and tracking they consent to, such as Essential or Analytics.</li>
<li aria-level="1"><strong>Decentralized Consent (optional)</strong>:<ol style="list-style-type: lower-alpha;">
<li aria-level="2">If the Decentralized Consent template is chosen, the user connects a Web3 wallet and signs a consent transaction.</li>
<li aria-level="2">Consent can be revoked on-site or from the <a href="https://dapp.shield.aesirx.io" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AesirX dApp</a>.</li>
<li aria-level="2">Shield of Privacy adds pseudonymization and audit trail compliance.</li>
</ol></li>
</ol>
<p><em><strong>Note:</strong> Always configure your consent logic correctly using the AesirX CMP settings to prevent any data loading before consent. This is critical for compliance with GDPR and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive.</em></p>
<p><strong>Important:</strong> All scripts that process personal data, including Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics, must be deferred until the user gives valid consent.</p>
<h2>Step 4: Customize Appearance (Optional)</h2>
<p><img src="https/api.aesirx.io/images/https/api.aesirx.io/images/https/api.aesirx.io/images/https/api.aesirx.io/images/step-5-customize-appearance-optional.jpg" alt="step 5 customize appearance optional" width="1415" height="758" /></p>

<p><span class="fw-semibold" style="color: #808080; font-size: 18pt;">AesirX Consent Management Platform Guide: How to Generate a Cookie Declaration with AI</span></p>
<hr />
<p>&nbsp;Writing a Cookie Declaration manually is time-consuming, prone to errors, and often out of sync with what your site actually does.</p>
<p>Unlike tools that rely on assumptions or fabricate AI-generated content, AesirX CMP builds a Cookie Declaration from real-time scan data – analyzing your website both before and after a user gives consent. That means it reflects what’s actually happening on your site, helping you meet requirements under hundreds of global privacy regulations.</p>
<p>AesirX AI Privacy Advisor saves you time, supports global privacy law alignment, and gives you a reliable foundation to edit and publish with confidence.</p>
<p>Follow this step-by-step guide to generate your Cookie Declaration draft automatically using the built-in AI tool. Just remember – reviewing and validating the content is a key step to staying compliant.</p>
<h2>Step 1: Log In to the AesirX AI Privacy Advisor</h2>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">Log in to your website’s WordPress admin panel.</li>
<li aria-level="1">Navigate to AesirX CMP in the left-hand menu.</li>
<li aria-level="1">Click AI Privacy Advisor.</li>
</ul>
<p>This page gives you access to configure tracking transparency through the Domain Categorization feature, and to generate AI privacy documentation, such as the Cookie Declaration, Privacy Policy, and Consent Request.</p>
<p>From here you can also enable 1-click AI Auto-Blocking and configure third-party and domain/path blocking to support privacy compliance.</p>
<h2>Step 2: View Your AI Cookie Declaration</h2>
<p><img src="https/api.aesirx.io/images/https/api.aesirx.io/images/https/api.aesirx.io/images/https/api.aesirx.io/images/how-to-create-a-cookie-declaration-using-aesirx-cmp-ai-tool.png" alt="how to create a cookie declaration using aesirx cmp ai tool" width="1906" height="1012" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>How to create a cookie declaration using AesirX CMP AI tool</em></p>
<h4>What to do:</h4>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">Once you open the AI Privacy Advisor, scroll down to the Cookie Declaration section.</li>
<li aria-level="1">Your Cookie Declaration text is already populated based on your site’s scan results.</li>
<li aria-level="1">Go through the headed sections, read the draft carefully and update any language to reflect your actual data handling practices.&nbsp;</li>
<li aria-level="1">Make sure it’s accurate, especially if your business has multiple domains, operates in specific sectors, or collects sensitive data.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
<p><em>Note: Some sections may include placeholder text depending on your site scan. Make sure to review and edit these before publishing your Cookie Declaration.</em></p>
<p>Here’s a breakdown of each section:</p>
<h2>Step 3: Check the Introductory Statement</h2>
<p><img src="https/api.aesirx.io/images/https/api.aesirx.io/images/https/api.aesirx.io/images/https/api.aesirx.io/images/how-to-generate-a-cookie-declaration-with-ai-introductory-statement.png" alt="how to generate a cookie declaration with ai introductory statement" width="2210" height="288" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>How to generate a cookie declaration with AI: Introductory Statement</em></p>
<p>This section appears at the top of the Cookie Declaration and serves two purposes:</p>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1"><strong>URL Scanned:</strong> Confirms which domain was scanned and analyzed by the AI Privacy Advisor, helping ensure the declaration reflects your actual setup. Always double-check that the correct domain was scanned, especially if your site includes multiple domains or subdomains.</li>
<li aria-level="1"><strong>Introductory Statement:</strong> A short explanation of why cookies are used and how your site handles them.</li>
</ul>
<p>This sets the context for users and helps meet legal expectations for transparency and clarity in cookie use.</p>
<h4>What to do:</h4>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">Confirm the scanned domain is correct. If it’s not, use the Regenerate button.</li>
<li aria-level="1">Edit the introductory text to reflect your tone and jurisdiction. You can reference laws like CCPA, PDPA, PDPD or others if your audience is region-specific.</li>
<li aria-level="1">Make sure the statement aligns with the way you actually use cookies on your site.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Step 4: Review Strictly Necessary Cookies</h2>
<p><img src="https/api.aesirx.io/images/https/api.aesirx.io/images/https/api.aesirx.io/images/https/api.aesirx.io/images/create-cookie-declarations-automatically-strictly-necessary-cookies.png" alt="create cookie declarations automatically strictly necessary cookies" width="2170" height="429" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Create cookie declarations automatically: Strictly Necessary Cookies</em></p>
<p>This section lists cookies that are required for your website to function correctly. While technically they are exempt from consent under most privacy laws, many websites mistakenly categorize non-essential cookies (e.g. tracking for A/B testing or preference storage) as “strictly necessary,” which can lead to non-compliance.</p>
<h4>Example text:</h4>
<p>These cookies are essential for the website's core functionality and do not require your consent. They enable basic functions like page navigation and access to secure areas of the website.</p>
<p>If any are detected, you’ll see default examples like:</p>
<div class="table-responsive">
<table class="table table-bordered">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="text-nowrap"><strong>Cookie Name </strong></td>
<td><strong>Domain</strong></td>
<td><strong>Purpose</strong></td>
<td><strong>Duration</strong></td>
<td><strong>Provider</strong></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>PHPSESSID</td>
<td>consent.demo.aesirx.io</td>
<td>Preserves user session state</td>
<td>Session</td>
<td>Internal</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
<h4>What to do:</h4>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">Carefully check that each listed cookie is truly required for essential website functions. You should actively check and confirm:
<ul>
<li aria-level="2">What each cookie actually does.</li>
<li aria-level="2">Whether it qualifies as “strictly necessary” under laws like GDPR or ePrivacy Directive.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li aria-level="1">Do not blindly trust automated labeling but review:
<ul>
<li aria-level="2">Cookie names and behavior</li>
<li aria-level="2">Purpose and legal basis</li>
<li aria-level="2">When and how they're set (pre- or post-consent)</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li aria-level="1">Remove or re-categorize anything used for analytics, personalization, or optimization – these are not “strictly necessary” under most legal frameworks.</li>
<li aria-level="1">Customize the description and provider name if the defaults don’t match your setup.</li>
<li aria-level="1">If none are found, this section may be empty or show defaults for reference – delete what isn’t relevant before publishing.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Step 5: Review Analytics Cookies</h2>
<p><img src="https/api.aesirx.io/images/https/api.aesirx.io/images/https/api.aesirx.io/images/https/api.aesirx.io/images/cookie-consent-declaration-analytics-cookies.png" alt="cookie consent declaration analytics cookies" width="2170" height="805" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>Cookie consent declaration: Analytics Cookies</em></p>
<p>This section includes cookies used to collect anonymous statistics and usage data that help improve website performance. These cookies must obtain explicit user consent and must be technically blocked until that consent is given – a critical compliance requirement that should not be overlooked.</p>
<h4>Example text:</h4>
<p>Analytics cookies help us collect statistical information about visitors to our site and how they interact with it. This data allows us to make improvements and optimize performance. Your consent is needed for these cookies to be activated.</p>
<p>Detected examples may include:</p>
<div class="table-responsive">
<table class="table table-bordered">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="text-nowrap"><strong>Cookie Name </strong></td>
<td><strong>Domain</strong></td>
<td><strong>Purpose</strong></td>
<td><strong>Duration</strong></td>
<td><strong>Provider</strong></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>tk_or</td>
<td>aesirx.io</td>
<td>Tracks referring websites and monitors visitor interaction</td>
<td>1825 days</td>
<td>Jetpack</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
<h4>What to do:</h4>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">Review each analytics cookie detected by the scan and confirm it is used only after user consent.&nbsp;</li>
<li aria-level="1">Update the purpose and provider fields if the default text doesn’t match your actual setup.</li>
<li aria-level="1">Make sure these cookies are blocked until the user actively consents.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Step 6: Review Marketing Cookies</h2>
<p><img src="https/api.aesirx.io/images/https/api.aesirx.io/images/https/api.aesirx.io/images/https/api.aesirx.io/images/how-to-generate-a-cookie-declaration-with-ai-marketing-cookies.png" alt="how to generate a cookie declaration with ai marketing cookies" width="2170" height="861" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>How to generate a cookie declaration with AI: Marketing Cookies</em></p>
<p>This section lists cookies used for advertising, behavioral profiling, or cross-site tracking – a category strictly regulated under GDPR and similar laws. These cookies always require explicit user consent before activation.</p>
<h4>Example text:</h4>
<p>These cookies are used to track visitors across websites and provide a personalized advertising experience. Consent is required to activate marketing cookies.\</p>
<p>You may see entries such as:</p>
<div class="table-responsive">
<table class="table table-bordered">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="text-nowrap"><strong>Cookie Name </strong></td>
<td><strong>Domain</strong></td>
<td><strong>Purpose</strong></td>
<td><strong>Duration</strong></td>
<td><strong>Provider</strong></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>tk_or</td>
<td>aesirx.io</td>
<td>Analyzes marketing effectiveness</td>
<td>Session</td>
<td>Jetpack</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
<h4>What to do:</h4>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">Review each marketing cookie and verify it’s used for advertising or cross-site tracking purposes.</li>
<li aria-level="1">Update the descriptions to accurately reflect how each cookie functions on your site.</li>
<li aria-level="1">Ensure all listed cookies are technically blocked until the user gives active, informed consent – this is a non-negotiable compliance requirement.</li>
<li aria-level="1">If your site doesn’t use marketing cookies (unlikely), delete this section from the declaration before publishing.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Step 7: Review Consent Requirement</h2>
<p><img src="https/api.aesirx.io/images/https/api.aesirx.io/images/https/api.aesirx.io/images/https/api.aesirx.io/images/aesirx-ai-privacy-advisor-review-consent-requirement.png" alt="aesirx ai privacy advisor review consent requirement" width="2170" height="363" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em>AesirX AI Privacy Advisor: Review Consent Requirement</em></p>
<p>This section outlines the legal rules for activating cookies and reminds users that they have ongoing control over their consent preferences. It reinforces the difference between essential and non-essential cookies and explains how consent can be managed or withdrawn.</p>
<h4>Example text:</h4>
<p>Non-essential cookies, such as those for analytics and marketing, require your explicit consent to be activated.</p>
<p>You can manage your cookie preferences or withdraw consent at any time by accessing our [Cookie Settings] or consulting our [Privacy Policy].</p>
<p>This declaration ensures transparency regarding our cookie usage and is designed for easy updating and editing within your WordPress configuration to maintain compliance with data protection standards.</p>
<h4>What to do:</h4>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">Make sure this section accurately reflects how your CMP is actually configured,&nbsp; including clear links to your consent settings and privacy policy.</li>
<li aria-level="1">Confirm that users can easily update or withdraw their consent at any time, as required under GDPR and similar laws.</li>
<li aria-level="1">Double-check that the linked pages (Cookie Settings, Privacy Policy) are accessible and up to date.</li>
<li aria-level="1">Customize the text if your cookie management process differs. For example, if you use a separate dashboard or consent tool.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Step 8: Copy and Preview</h2>
<p><img src="https/api.aesirx.io/images/https/api.aesirx.io/images/https/api.aesirx.io/images/https/api.aesirx.io/images/copy-and-preview.png" alt="copy and preview" width="1905" height="990" /></p>
<h4>What to do:</h4>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">It’s important to review and customize each cookie category, even if the declaration appears comprehensive initially.</li>
<li aria-level="1">Then, click the copy icon to export the generated text. Review and edit it to reflect your actual data practices before adding it to your Cookie Declaration.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Step 9: Re-Generate If Tracking Changes</h2>
<p><img src="https/api.aesirx.io/images/https/api.aesirx.io/images/https/api.aesirx.io/images/https/api.aesirx.io/images/step-9-re-generate-if-tracking-changes.png" alt="step 9 re generate if tracking changes" width="1905" height="990" /></p>
<p>At the end of the Cookie Declaration section, you’ll see a Regenerate button.</p>
<h4>What to do:</h4>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">It’s important to regularly re-scanning your site to capture any changes accurately.</li>
<li aria-level="1">Make periodic checks as part of a documented compliance process, ideally at least quarterly and whenever major site changes occur.</li>
<li aria-level="1">If you update your website by adding or removing tracking technologies like ad pixels, analytics scripts, or embedded media, or adding new tools, tags, or plugins, you should revisit the AesirX AI Privacy Advisor to check for any Cookie Declaration changes. Keeping it accurate isn’t a one-time task.&nbsp;</li>
<li aria-level="1">Clicking Regenerate will run a fresh scan and update the Cookie Declaration to reflect the latest setup. It’s the easiest way to keep your documentation compliant over time.&nbsp;</li>
<li aria-level="1">To make this easier, you can use <a href="https://aesirx.io/services/privacy-monitoring" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AesirX Privacy Monitoring</a>, which automatically scans your site on a regular schedule and flags any new scripts or trackers that could affect your compliance. This means your documentation stays up to date without relying on manual checks.</li>

<h2>Step 2: Use AesirX Privacy Scanner to Identify CF7 Third-Party Domains</h2>
<p>With AesirX CMP installed, identify and block third-party domains in CF7 that track user data without consent. Use AesirX Privacy Scanner to find them.</p>
<h3>1. Scan Your Site for Third-Party Domains:</h3>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">Open <a href="https://privacyscanner.aesirx.io/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AesirX Privacy Scanner</a>.</li>
<li aria-level="1">Enter your website’s URL and click <strong>Scan</strong>.</li>
<li aria-level="1">The scanner will analyze your site and list all third-party domains collecting user data.</li>
</ul>
<p><img src="https/api.aesirx.io/images/Screenshot_2025-02-06_at_09.32.07.png" alt="Screenshot_2025-02-06_at_09.32.07.png" width="1804" height="728" /></p>
<h3>2. Identify CF7’s Tracking Domains</h3>
<p>Look for CF7-related domains in the scan results, such as:</p>
<ul class="text-success-dark fw-medium">
<li aria-level="2">www.google.com/recaptcha/ (if reCAPTCHA is enabled)</li>
<li aria-level="1">ajax.googleapis.com (if scripts are loaded via Google)</li>
<li aria-level="1">Any other third-party scripts related to CF7.</li>
</ul>
<h3>3. Copy Identified Domains:</h3>
<p>Copy these domains for use in AesirX Consent Shield to CF7 tracking until users give consent.</p>
<p><img src="https/api.aesirx.io/images/Make_Contact_Form_7_Graphic_3.png" alt="Make_Contact_Form_7_Graphic_3.png" width="2826" height="2133" /></p>
<h2>Step 3: Prevent CF7 Tracking Until Users Give Consent with AesirX Consent Shield</h2>
<p>Stop CF7 from tracking users before they consent by configuring AesirX Consent Shield.</p>
<h3><strong>1. Block Third-Party Domains:</strong></h3>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">Go to <strong>WordPress &gt; Settings &gt; AesirX Consent Management</strong>.</li>
<li aria-level="1">Find <strong>AesirX Consent Shield for Domain/Path-Based Blocking</strong>.</li>
<li aria-level="1">Enter the copied domains (e.g., <strong class="text-success-dark">www.google.com/recaptcha/, ajax.googleapis.com</strong>) to prevent them from loading before consent.</li>
</ul>
<h3>2. Block Contact Form 7 Plugin</h3>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">AesirX Consent Shield automatically detects and lists third-party plugins that collect user data.</li>
<li aria-level="1">Go to <strong>AesirX Consent Shield for Third-Party Plugins.</strong></li>
<li aria-level="1">Find&nbsp;<strong>Contact Form 7</strong> in the list and check the box to <strong>block it until users consent.</strong></li>
</ul>
<h3><strong>3. Adjust Script Blocking Settings:</strong></h3>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">Select <strong>"Only Third-Party Hosts" (default).</strong></li>
<li aria-level="1">This blocks <strong>third-party scripts</strong> while keeping <strong>first-party scripts</strong> running normally.</li>
</ul>
<h3><strong>4. Save your changes.</strong></h3>
<p>Click <strong>Save Settings</strong> to apply changes. CF7 and its third-party domains will remain blocked until users provide explicit consent.&nbsp;</p>
<p><img src="https/api.aesirx.io/images/Screenshot_2025-02-03_at_16.36.19.png" alt="Screenshot_2025-02-03_at_16.36.19.png" width="2248" height="1348" /></p>
<h2>Step 4: Set Up Explicit and Fully Informed Consent</h2>
<p>AesirX enhances Google Consent Mode V2 with two improved compliance-focused consent modes:</p>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1"><strong>Simple Consent Mode</strong> – Works like Google’s Basic Consent Mode but with stricter compliance. No data is collected or shared with third parties until users explicitly consent. Includes <strong>Reject</strong> and <strong>Consent</strong> options.</li>
<li aria-level="1"><strong>Default Template</strong> – Tags start with denied parameters, ensuring no data is collected, stored, or sent until consent is given. Unlike Google Consent Mode 2.0, AesirX prevents any tags from loading before consent, reducing compliance risks. Includes <strong>Reject, Consent, and Decentralized Consent</strong>, giving users full control over their personal data.</li>
</ul>
<h3>How to Update Consent Settings</h3>
<ol>
<li aria-level="1">Go to <strong>Settings</strong> &gt; <strong>AesirX Consent Management</strong> &gt; Select <strong>Consent Mode</strong>.</li>
<li aria-level="1"><strong>Choose a template</strong> and customize the consent text.
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">Update your privacy policy to explicitly state:
<ul>
<li aria-level="2">Who collects the data (your site or third-party services).</li>
<li aria-level="2">Why the data is collected (e.g., analytics, personalization).</li>
<li aria-level="2">What data is collected (cookies, form data).</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li aria-level="1">Keep the consent message <strong>simple, clear, and informative</strong> so users understand what they’re agreeing to and why it matters.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li aria-level="1">(Optional) Enter your <strong>Google Tag ID</strong> and <strong>Google Tag Manager ID.</strong></li>
<li>Click <strong>“Save Settings”</strong> to apply changes.</li>
</ol>

How to Add Instagram Feed to WordPress for GDPR Compliance Using AesirX CMP

Make Instagram Feed GDPR Compliant in WordPress with AesirX CMP. Block tracking until user consent and manage consent effectively.

GDPR-Compliant Instagram Feed in WordPress

<p>Imagine visiting a website and being met with a vague, confusing cookie banner. Do you really understand what you're agreeing to? Most consent pop-ups rely on broad categories, leaving users with little clarity or control.</p>
<p><a href="https://aesirx.io/solutions/consent-management-platform">AesirX Consent Management Platform (CMP)</a> takes a different approach. Instead of burying data collection behind category-based options, it prioritizes explicit and informed consent - giving users full transparency and control over their choices. This approach aligns with GDPR, the ePrivacy Directive 5(3), and other data protection regulations while eliminating manipulative "dark patterns."&nbsp;</p>
<p>This guide walks you through crafting a clear, compliant, and user-friendly consent message with AesirX CMP, focusing on both general consent and granular opt-in for specific functionalities, helping you build trust while avoiding compliance risks.</p>

<h2>How to Customize Consent Text with AesirX CMP (General &amp; Granular Opt-In)</h2>
<h3>1. Implementing General Consent for Essential Tracking &amp; Site Functionality</h3>
<h4><strong>Accessing AesirX CMP</strong></h4>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">Log in to your AesirX CMP dashboard via the platform.</li>
<li aria-level="1">If using WordPress, navigate to <strong>Settings</strong> &gt; <strong>AesirX Consent Management.</strong></li>
</ul>
<h4><strong>Choosing the Right Consent Template</strong></h4>
<p>AesirX CMP provides two pre-designed consent templates:</p>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1"><strong>Default Template:</strong> This template enhances Google Consent Mode 2.0 by blocking scripts, beacons, and tags until consent is given. It reduces compliance risks and includes <strong>Decentralized Consent</strong>, allowing users full control over their data and the ability to manage or withdraw consent at any time.</li>
<li><strong>Simple Consent Mode:</strong> This template follows Google Consent Mode 2.0, ensuring no tags or tracking technologies load until consent is given, providing a simple, compliant user experience.</li>
</ul>

<h4><strong>Customizing Your General Consent Message</strong></h4>
<p>Navigate to the <strong>"Customize Consent Text"</strong> section to tailor the message for clarity and compliance.</p>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1"><strong>Emphasizing Explicit Consent</strong>
<ul>
<li aria-level="2">Avoid vague wording. Instead of "We use cookies," specify: "We use tracking technologies to analyze website traffic and personalize your experience. By clicking 'Accept,' you consent to this processing."</li>
<li aria-level="2">No pre-ticked boxes - users must actively opt-in.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1"><strong>Maintaining Clarity and Transparency</strong>
<ul>
<li aria-level="2">Use clear, straightforward language instead of legal jargon.</li>
<li aria-level="2">Clearly outline the purpose of data collection and disclose any data recipients.</li>
<li aria-level="2">Example: "We share your email with [Marketing Company] to provide you with personalized offers."</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1"><strong>Comprehensive Tracking Disclosure:</strong>
<ul>
<li aria-level="2">List the tracking technologies used on the website.</li>
<li aria-level="2">Example: "We use cookies, pixels, and local storage.”</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1"><strong>Data Transfer Disclosure:</strong>
<ul>
<li aria-level="2">If data is transferred outside of the EEA, explain the safeguards in place.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1"><strong>Linking to Your Privacy Policy</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>A direct link to your Privacy Policy gives users full transparency into your data practices. Your privacy policy should:</p>
<ul>
<li aria-level="2">Clearly explain how data is collected, processed, and stored.</li>
<li aria-level="2">Align with the consent options available in AesirX CMP.</li>
<li aria-level="2">Be easy to access from the consent banner or website footer.</li>
<li aria-level="2"><strong>Example:</strong> "For more details, see our [Privacy Policy]."</li>
</ul>
<h4><strong>Example of a Clear Consent Banner:</strong></h4>
<table class="table" style="border: 0.5px solid #000000;">

<p>We use AesirX Consent Management Platform (CMP) to manage your data preferences. You can choose to:</p>

<li aria-level="1">Reject: No data will be collected.</li>
<li aria-level="1">Consent: Allow data collection to improve site performance and user experience.</li>
<li aria-level="1">Decentralized Consent: Retain control over your personal data and revoke consent anytime.</li>

</ul>
<h4><strong>Handling Consent Rejection:</strong></h4>
<p>When a user declines consent, certain site functionalities may be limited. AesirX CMP offers decentralized consent management for greater user control. While the general rejection message cannot be customized, you can switch to granular opt-in consent for tailored handling. This allows you to address rejections on a feature-by-feature basis, as detailed in the opt-in consent setup guide.&nbsp;</p>
<h4><strong>Revoking Consent:</strong></h4>
<p>AesirX CMP enables users to revoke consent through a personal wallet and the Shield of Privacy (SoP), either on the website or via the AesirX dApp, fulfilling GDPR's requirement for easy withdrawal. Users can also access consent history records to manage and track their preferences.</p>

<h3>2. Implementing Granular Opt-In for Specific Features and Services</h3>
<h4><strong>Why Use Granular Opt-In?</strong></h4>
<p>Granular opt-in allows features like payment processing, live chat, and third-party integrations to activate only upon explicit user approval. This approach minimizes unnecessary data collection while strengthening user trust.</p>
<h4><strong>Code Implementation for Opt-In Consent:</strong></h4>
<p>Example JavaScript for Opt-In Consent: (Use General Consent and Opt-In Consent in Combination)&nbsp;</p>
<p>{code}optinConsent{/code}</p>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1"><strong>Optional Configuration:</strong> Replace Site Consent with Opt-in Consent</li>
</ul>
<p>{code}optinConsentReplace{/code}</p>
<h4><strong>Handle Reject Consent:</strong></h4>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">If a user rejects consent, display a message indicating that consent is required for the functionality to work.</li>
<li aria-level="1">Example:
<ul>
<li><strong>General consent Rejection:</strong></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>{code}reject{/code}</p>
<ul>
<li style="list-style-type: none;">
<ul>
<li aria-level="2"><strong>Opt-in Consent Rejection:</strong></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>{code}optinReject{/code}</p>
<h4><strong>Notify Users About Consent Status:</strong></h4>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">Inform users if they have rejected consent and how it affects their experience on the site.</li>
<li aria-level="1">Example Notification:</li>
</ul>
<p>{code}notify{/code}</p>
<h4><strong>Customize Consent Messages:</strong></h4>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">Edit your consent forms to include clear information about the use of these third-party widgets and the purpose of data collection.&nbsp;</li>
<li aria-level="1">Example Alert Text: <em>“<i data-stringify-type="italic">We use [Payment Processor Name] to handle transactions.
