Lexiscript Consent & Privacy

Most consent banners describe what a site does. This one changes it.

The Lexiscript widget intercepts the browser APIs that scripts use to insert themselves, so a
tracker is caught at the moment it tries to load rather than disclosed after it has already run.
Non-essential scripts do not execute until the visitor has agreed — and what counts as agreement
depends on where that visitor is.

Region-aware by default. A visitor in Germany, one in California and one in Kenya get
different behaviour from the same installation. The widget applies one of three consent models
according to the visitor’s location:

• Opt-in, where nothing runs until consent is given: EU, UK, Kenya, Nigeria, Brazil
• Opt-out, presented as “Do Not Sell or Share”: California
• Notice-only: South Africa, Canada

These groupings reflect how Lexiscript reads the published rules for each region. They are a
product configuration, not a legal determination about your site — see “Not legal advice” below.

What the widget does on your site

• Blocks non-essential scripts before they run, rather than describing them afterwards
• Shows a preference centre with per-category choices, not all-or-nothing
• Gives “Reject all” the same prominence as “Accept”
• Pre-ticks nothing under an opt-in model
• Honours the Global Privacy Control signal automatically
• Treats a stored decision as expired after the configured lifetime
• Invalidates previous consent when the tracker set changes, because the visitor never agreed
  to the new ones
• Never blocks the page itself — the scripts are blocked, not your content
• Fails closed: if the configuration cannot be reached, it serves deny-all rather than letting
  everything through
• One small vanilla JavaScript file, no framework, no dependencies

Why this plugin exists

The widget is one script, and the only thing that is easy to get wrong is where it goes — it must
run before every other script on the page or it has nothing left to intercept. This plugin
registers it with WordPress’s script loader and prints it at the top of the document head, ahead
of the tags that themes and other plugins add, and keeps it there through theme changes.

Plans and pricing

A Lexiscript account is free, and so is scanning your site and reading the findings. The
consent widget that this plugin installs requires a paid plan. Without one, your site key will
not return a widget configuration and no banner will appear.

Current pricing is on https://jaytechkenya.com/lexiscript. Nothing in this plugin stops working
after a trial — the widget is a paid feature from the start, and the plugin tells you so on its
settings screen before you enter anything.

External service

This plugin requires a Lexiscript account and loads a script from Lexiscript, a service operated
by Jaydee Innovation Hub (Nairobi, Kenya). The plugin does not function without it.

• The plugin registers and prints one script, served from https://widget.jaytechkenya.com,
  with your site key as a query parameter. This is Lexiscript’s own service endpoint, not a
  general-purpose third-party CDN, and the script is the service.
• That script runs in your visitors’ browsers. It requests your site’s consent configuration
  from Lexiscript, and the visitor’s IP address is used at the edge to resolve their country —
  and US state where relevant — in order to decide which consent model applies. The IP address
  is used for that lookup and is not retained as part of a visitor profile.
• The visitor’s own consent choices are stored in their browser. They are not sent to
  Lexiscript.
• This plugin itself makes no requests to Lexiscript from your server, and reads or transmits
  nothing from your WordPress database.

Not legal advice

Lexiscript reports what your website does and which published rules are relevant to it. It does
not determine whether your site is lawful, it does not make your site compliant with any law,
and nothing it produces is legal advice. Whether your use of this plugin meets your obligations
is a question for your own adviser.
