Description

Disables WordPress comment cookies. A tiny but useful plugin for people looking to simplify EU cookie law compliance requirements.

Comment cookies are only used to avoid unregistered users to put their name and URL in the comment form everytime they comment in your WordPress and to allow them to see their comments while they are in moderation queue.

So if you’re ok with losing the above functionality, this plugin will:

  • Prevent the cookie to be inserted in the comment author browser.
  • Remove the checkbox for cookie consent in the WP core comments form.

GDPR Notice: The author of this plugins doesn’t collect ANY DATA. Also the plugin doesn’t store any data in the site.
