The cookie banner
WordPress doesn't need
a plugin for.
Every WordPress plugin is one more thing to update, one more thing that can break the site. Velo installs like your analytics does: one line in the header, or one tag in Google Tag Manager. Compliant banner, Consent Mode v2, and no new row on your plugins screen.
Compliant, fast,
nothing lost.
Paste one line into your header, through your theme or through the tag manager plugin you already run. It works on any theme and any builder, because it never touches PHP: it is the same script tag your other measurement uses.
How it goes live
on WordPress.
Three steps, about ten minutes.

01
Add the tag
In Google Tag Manager, add the Velo template from the community gallery. No GTM on the site? One line in your header does the same job.

Denied by default, banner up
Velo sets the Google Consent Mode v2 denied default before any other tag runs, then shows the banner. Nothing non essential fires until the visitor chooses, and every choice lands in the audit log.

Verify and forget it
Check the consent signals flip in Tag Assistant or your browser, publish, and you are done. Region rules, records and Google's modelling run on their own from here.
WordPress questions,
answered.
What teams putting a banner on WordPress ask first.
Do I need to install a WordPress plugin?
No. Velo is one script tag. Add it through Google Tag Manager, your theme's header, or the header field of the SEO or tag plugin you already run. Nothing new to keep updated, nothing that can conflict with the rest of your stack.
Does it work with WooCommerce and page builders?
The banner is plain JavaScript in your site's head, so it renders on every page your theme serves, shop pages included. It does not depend on any particular builder, theme or checkout.
Is this enough for GDPR?
Velo blocks non essential tags until the visitor chooses, records the choice in an audit log, and applies the right rule set by region across the EU, UK and US. Equal Accept and Reject, no dark patterns.
Why does Consent Mode v2 matter for my site?
If you run Google Ads or GA4 in the EEA, Google requires it, and it is what lets Google model the conversions declined visitors would otherwise take with them. Across Amplio Data client implementations that recovers 20–40% of consent hidden conversions. Measured ranges, not a guarantee.
