WP Statistics integrates with several consent management plugins through the WP Consent API to comply with data protection regulations and respect user privacy.
By default, WP Statistics does not require user consent since it does not record any personally identifiable information (PII). However, certain features or configurations may record PII, in which case consent may be necessary. To determine whether your WP Statistics setup requires consent, navigate to WP Statistics → Privacy Audit in your WordPress admin panel.
Supported Consent Plugins (via WP Consent API)
The following plugins are compatible with WP Statistics when the WP Consent API plugin is installed and activated:
Coming Soon: Support for Real Cookie Banner
WP Statistics will soon add direct compatibility with Real Cookie Banner without requiring the WP Consent API plugin.
Understanding When WP Statistics Needs Consent
WP Statistics is designed to be privacy-friendly by default, meaning it:
- Does not use cookies.
- Does not collect PII unless certain features are enabled (e.g., IP address recording).
To assess whether your current configuration requires consent, follow these steps:
- Log in to your WordPress admin area.
- Navigate to WP Statistics → Privacy Audit.
- Review your settings to determine whether any enabled features collect PII.
This page provides detailed guidance to help you align with your region’s privacy regulations.
