Finsbury Media Cookie Consent
Version: 1.1.0
Description
Finsbury Media Cookie Consent is a lightweight, configurable WordPress plugin for integrating Google Consent Mode v2, Microsoft UET, and Microsoft Clarity Consent API v2. It includes:
- Google Consent Mode v2 – required for Google Ads audience tracking
- Microsoft UET Consent Mode – for Bing Ads tracking aligned with user preferences
- Microsoft Clarity Consent API v2 – ensures session replay and analytics tracking respect user consent
The plugin automatically displays a customizable cookie consent dialog and emits consent signals using Google Tag Manager.
No configuration or account is required to use the default version.
Users may optionally enter a license key to enable additional styling, localization, and anonymous consent logging features.
External Services
When a license key is entered, the plugin may retrieve a JSON configuration file from:
- https://tracking.finsburymedia.co.uk
This configuration controls the appearance and behavior of the cookie consent dialog and may include:
– Dialog layout, positioning, and appearance
– Localization strings
– Theming options (colors, fonts, buttons)
– A customer ID (used in premium version only)
In the premium version, and only if explicitly enabled, the plugin may also log anonymous consent events to the following endpoint:
- https://cmp.finsburymedia.com/api/v1/consent-log
This is used to support licensed users with consent reporting and audit history. Logged data includes:
– Customer ID (linked to license)
– Consent ID (anonymized)
– Selected categories (e.g. marketing, analytics)
– Consent sections displayed
No personal data, website URL, or IP address is collected or transmitted. Logging is disabled by default.
The plugin does not install or load Microsoft Clarity. If you add the Clarity tracking script separately, the plugin ensures its behavior respects user consent.
