Why GDPR Cookie Compliance Matters for WordPress Websites in Ireland

Today, protecting your website visitors’ privacy is not just good practice — it’s a legal requirement. Since the introduction of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in Europe, including Ireland, and other privacy laws like the CCPA in the United States, businesses are expected to clearly disclose how they collect and use personal data.

At Cartmell Communications Limited, we help our clients stay compliant and protect their reputation by implementing a professional Cookie Consent solution using the award-winning Complianz plugin for WordPress.

Our service ensures that your website not only meets legal requirements but also offers a transparent and trustworthy experience for your visitors.

We manage the entire process for you, from license activation to full implementation — saving you time, effort, and helping you avoid costly penalties.

Customised Cookie Banners That Match Your Brand and Legal Needs

Every website is unique, and so is every audience. That’s why we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all cookie banner.

Using Complianz, we tailor the design and messaging of your cookie consent banners to match your brand identity. This includes:

  • Styling the banner with your brand’s colours, fonts, and logo.

  • Custom messaging to maintain a professional and user-friendly tone.

  • Choice between different banner styles (pop-up, bottom bar, corner notice) depending on your website layout and preferences.

Visitors feel reassured when cookie notices are seamlessly integrated into your website’s look and feel — and that’s exactly what we deliver.

Scanning, Categorising, and Configuring Cookies for Compliance

A critical part of cookie compliance is the cookie scan and categorisation. During configuration, we:

  • Scan your website for active cookies and scripts.

  • Categorise cookies (e.g., Necessary, Preferences, Statistics, Marketing) based on their function.

  • Configure consent options, so visitors can accept, reject, or modify their choices.

  • Set up cookie retention periods, cookie policy texts, and preference management options.

We ensure all settings reflect your business operations, making it easy for your visitors to control their privacy without confusion.

Seamless Integration of Cookie Consent and Legal Policies

Beyond the cookie banner, proper compliance means integrating legal documents and backend processes.

With Complianz, we automatically generate:

  • Cookie Policy

  • Privacy Policy

  • Data Request Forms (for GDPR “right to access” or “right to be forgotten” requests)

We also integrate these policies seamlessly into your website menus or footer, ensuring they’re easily accessible, as required by law.

In addition, we connect the plugin with other third-party tools and marketing systems you may use (like Facebook Pixel, Google Analytics, etc.) so that cookies are only activated after explicit visitor consent.

Google Certified CMP & TCF 2.2 Support for Ad Complianc

If you run advertising campaigns — especially with Google — full consent management becomes even more important.

Complianz supports TCF 2.2 (Transparency and Consent Framework) and is a Google Certified CMP (Consent Management Platform).
This means:

  • Your ads stay compliant with Google’s new requirements.

  • You maintain eligibility for monetization via Google AdSense or Google Ads.

  • You protect your ability to reach audiences while respecting privacy standards.

If you need TCF/Google CMP integration, we handle the extra configuration for you, ensuring your consent solution meets even the strictest ad platform standards.
