Cookie usage on websites is no longer just a technical matter; it has become a legal requirement under KVKK, GDPR, and Google policies.

In this guide, we explain step by step how to add a cookie banner to your WordPress site and manage user consent using the Bildirt Cookie Management platform.

Why Should You Use Cookie Management?

Modern websites continuously collect data through tools like Google Analytics, advertising systems, and third-party services.

Therefore:

  • You must clearly inform users
  • You must obtain explicit consent
  • You must not run cookies before consent is given

In a proper CMP (Consent Management Platform) solution, cookies must be blocked until user consent is received. Bildirt automates this process and ensures legal compliance at a technical level.

What is Bildirt Cookie Management?

Bildirt is a Consent Management Platform (CMP) solution developed for websites.

Key features:

  • Cookie banner (cookie consent) management
  • Google Consent Mode v2 compliance
  • Script and cookie blocking
  • User consent logging
  • Multi-language and design support
  • Integration with push notification system

How to Add Bildirt Cookie Banner to WordPress

1. Create an Account and Add Your Site

  • Log in to the Bildirt panel
  • Add your website
  • Complete domain verification

2. Cookie Scan

Bildirt automatically:

  • Scans all cookies on your website
  • Categorizes them (Necessary, Analytics, Marketing, Preferences)

This structure complies with global CMP standards.

3. Customize the Banner Design

You can configure:

  • Title and description text
  • “Accept”, “Reject”, “Settings” buttons
  • Colors and position
  • Popup, bar, or box layout

The banner is fully customizable and can match your brand identity.

4. Add the Script to Your Website

Bildirt generates a unique script for your site. You need to add this code to your <head> section.

<!-- Bildirt CMP Code -->
<script src="https://cdn.bildirt.com/cmp.js"></script>

For WordPress, you can use:

  • Header & Footer plugins
  • The theme’s header.php file
  • Google Tag Manager

5. Block Scripts Until Consent (Critical Step)

For real compliance, the following scripts must not run before consent:

  • Google Analytics
  • Google Ads tags
  • Facebook Pixel
  • Other tracking and advertising scripts

Bildirt uses Consent Mode logic to trigger these scripts based on user consent.

Google Consent Mode v2 Integration

With Bildirt, ad_storage and analytics_storage parameters are managed automatically.

This ensures:

  • Ad performance is maintained
  • Data loss is minimized
  • Compliance with Google Ads requirements

User Experience and Compliance

  • Accept all cookies

This approach aligns with modern data protection standards.

Benefits of Using Push and CMP Together

Users who give cookie consent tend to show higher engagement. These users are more likely to subscribe to push notifications.

  • First: Cookie consent
  • Then: Push subscription prompt

This approach can improve conversion rates.
