What it does
Sites that use tracking or marketing scripts often need to tell visitors about cookies and ask for consent, especially when serving visitors covered by the EU cookie law and GDPR. This extension handles that job on OceanWP-powered sites. It places a notice on your pages, lets you write your own message and button text, and gives you a place to add scripts that only run after a visitor accepts.
You can keep the notice low-key or require acknowledgment with an overlay that blocks navigation until the visitor accepts. There are two notice styles to start from, plus settings for colors, fonts, sizes and position so the banner matches your design. Visitors can dismiss it with a button or a close icon, and an optional page reload after acceptance makes sure consent-based scripts start running. Since it requires the OceanWP theme, it fits best on sites already built with OceanWP.
Best for
- Websites built on the OceanWP theme
- Site owners serving visitors covered by GDPR
- Freelancers setting up cookie notices for OceanWP clients
Features
Consent-based script loading
Add scripts that load only after a visitor accepts cookies, so tracking or other cookie-related code stays inactive until consent is given.
Reload after acceptance
Optionally reload the page once a visitor accepts cookies, so the scripts that depend on consent activate right away.
Two notice styles
Pick between two distinct notice styles as a starting point for a cookie banner that suits your site's design and branding.
Custom message and buttons
Write your own notice message and button text so the wording explains your cookie use in your own voice.
Button or icon closing
Let visitors close the notice with a clearly visible button or a simple close icon, depending on which you prefer.
Detailed styling settings
Adjust colors, fonts, sizes and position of the notice so it fits in with the rest of your site's look.
Acceptance overlay
Turn on an overlay that prevents navigation until the visitor accepts, useful when you need visitors to acknowledge the notice first.
French and German translations
The plugin includes French and German translations, which helps when your site serves visitors across Europe.

Questions about Ocean Cookie Notice
Does this work with themes other than OceanWP?
It is built as an extension for OceanWP and requires the OceanWP theme. If your site uses a different theme, this plugin is not the right fit, since it is designed to work within OceanWP-powered websites.
Can it stop analytics scripts from running before consent?
Yes. You can add scripts that load only after a visitor accepts cookies. There is also an option to reload the page after acceptance so those scripts start running immediately for that visitor.
Can I force visitors to accept before browsing the site?
You can enable an overlay that prevents navigation until the visitor accepts the notice. If you prefer a lighter approach, leave the overlay off and let visitors dismiss the notice with a button or close icon.
How much control do I have over the notice design?
You can choose from two notice styles, then customize colors, fonts, sizes and position. The message content and button text are also fully editable, so the notice can match your branding and wording.
Is Ocean Cookie Notice free?
The code of Ocean Cookie Notice is licensed under the GPL, so anyone may use, change and share it. GPL Feast is a paid service: a plan or a single purchase gives you the download and automatic updates. The developer's own support, licence key and online services are not included.
