CookieYes is a WordPress plugin that helps you make your website comply with the new cookie laws of GDPR. The term'Cookies' refers to data sent by web servers to a user's browser, which identifies a particular website on the internet. This cookie can be related to the IP address, the domain name or the subdomain of a web server or it can also be calculated based on the contents of the page being accessed. Users can deny the request for cookies at any time, by changing their browser's settings or by destroying the cookies already stored on the website. As such, they will not see any changes made to their website.

CookieYes integrates with many of the most popular plugins available in the market, so that in your website, the features required by each of the plugins will be enabled when the plugin is activated. For example, when the Google Analytics JavaScript plugin is activated, the 'onerime' field created by Google will be included in the outgoing cookies. This means that whenever someone clicks on an ad, a cookie will be generated from the source URL, so that it will be evident that the click came from the site, even if the user goes away from the site later. If you use the 'oauth2' WordPress plugin, then cookie category can be selected automatically from a drop down list, so that whenever a user enters a domain name, the appropriate category will be selected.

In addition to that, CookieYes allows you to create customised permission levels, so that users can only gain access to limited fields, such as the 'type' or 'name' list, or to specify the scope of the 'redirects' field. Also, cookie policies can be specified to allow users to see which links are permitted, and which aren't. When a user goes to a particular page in your site, the plugin will automatically remove any non-permitted links, thus making the page more secure. If you are using a short code in conjunction with a standard plugin, such as the Google Analytics JavaScript plugin, then it is also possible to set up redirects to different domains, instead of just the one domain being allowed to be redirected to.
