FAQ
-
Do I need an API key?
-
No, the core plugin works without an API key. However, an API key can be used to unlock premium plans (Basic, Pro, Enterprise) which provide higher page scanning limits, advanced reporting, and priority support.
-
Yes, you can choose between light/dark themes, banner position (top, bottom, or center modal), and layout styles (Full Width or Boxed with custom width).
-
Yes, the plugin includes an Advanced Custom CSS editor in the settings. This allows you to apply personalized styles to the banner and its elements without modifying the plugin files.
-
When users click the “Customize” button on the banner, a Preference Center opens. You can customize the title and the names of the cookie categories (e.g., Necessary, Analytics) to match your brand’s terminology.
-
Why is there an API key automatically generated?
-
The plugin automatically generates a unique Site ID (API Key) upon activation. This identifier allows the plugin to synchronize detected cookies and verify your plan level without requiring you to manually create an account or enter a key for basic functionality.
