Changelog

1.0.97

Released October 26, 2026 SHA-256 4f889ea9c0b1…

• Florida law card: any for-profit business that sells sensitive data needs the consumer's consent first and must show the notice "NOTICE: This website may sell your sensitive personal data." (Fla. Stat. § 501.715).
• UK law card: the analytics exception (since Feb 5, 2026) needs statistics-only use, clear information, a free way to object, and an analytics provider acting as your processor.
• Spanish translations for the new and changed text.

1.0.96

• Law data checked against the official texts (Oct 26, 2026). Nebraska and Louisiana no longer count as requiring Global Privacy Control (their laws treat browser signals as an authorized agent, and Louisiana's lets a business decline). Iowa: no right to correct, and sensitive data is notice and opt-out. Tennessee's citation is § 47-18-3301. Delaware's current thresholds are 35,000, or 10,000 with over 20% of revenue from selling data. Louisiana and Alabama cite and link their enacted texts. New law card items for Oregon, Connecticut, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Virginia, Montana, Kentucky, Rhode Island, Maryland, Utah and Canada (Quebec tracking off by default).
• Scan now waits for the terms: before they're accepted, the button opens Review terms & activate, and the scan endpoint refuses (a scan can contact Google Tag Manager).
• Traffic: the "Count administrators" switch is gone. It did almost nothing, because signed-in staff never load the counting script. The Cookie-free traffic stats setting now says staff visits aren't counted.
• Email alerts: the setting now says privacy request emails always go out, because requests have legal deadlines.
• Laws tab: says which Settings cards decide the laws (Business and Who you serve).
• Spanish translations for the new and changed text.
• Policy history: Restore puts an earlier version's text back on the page (block editor, classic editor, Elementor or Beaver Builder text block). Undo on the page's card reverses it, and the restored text is saved as a new version.

1.0.95

Released October 26, 2026 SHA-256 0215cba20577…

• Pro Updates: ready for private downloads. When RoxxiStudios marks GoConsent Pro as licensed, updates download through a one-time link for this site's license (or for an approved Managed WP+ site), fetched only when the update installs.
• Pro Managed WP+ sites: GoConsent asks RoxxiStudios for a site token, delivered to this site's own address, and sends it with updates, support requests and evidence scans, so no one else can use the site's name to get them.

1.0.94

• Pro Plugin details: the homepage link now goes to getgoconsent.com.

1.0.93

Released October 23, 2026 SHA-256 f0b0354d35d0…

• Readme: a 90-second tour video.

1.0.92

Released October 23, 2026 SHA-256 f4f71b783ce3…

• Pro Traffic: stricter robot filter. Automated browsers aren't counted, and a visit counts only after the page has been on screen for a second, so pages loaded in the background or ahead of time and instant bounces are left out.

1.0.91

Released October 22, 2026 SHA-256 dd16edba22ef…

• Admin: policy previews and other windows fit the screen on phones; long web addresses wrap and buttons share the width.

1.0.90

Released October 21, 2026 SHA-256 7cb7c1e7b829…

• Traffic: the Devices and Sources charts no longer cut off the edge of a slice you point at.

1.0.89

• Readme: getgoconsent.com link in the plugin page sidebar.

1.0.87

Released October 21, 2026 SHA-256 6420769ecc7d…

• Clearer description of what GoConsent Pro adds: leads in your stats, policy updates when laws change, and proof for your lawyer.

1.0.86

• Pro Terms & Conditions, Disclaimer and the "This policy changed" notice are now part of GoConsent Pro. Free keeps the Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, Refund & Returns Policy and Accessibility Statement, plus everything that protects you: the banner, blocking, GPC, requests and their emails, consent records and export, scan alerts and legal links. Pages you already published stay on your site; GoConsent just stops updating them without Pro.

1.0.85

Released October 21, 2026 SHA-256 d5516920873a…

• Pro Legal links, Automatic: prefers a menu named "Legal" (or "Footer"), so sites built with page builders get the links in the right menu. Links the page already has anywhere outside its header and content (a theme's own Your Privacy Choices link, say) aren't repeated. Logged-in staff now see the links too.

1.0.84

Released October 21, 2026 SHA-256 700cd35f4ab0…

• Pro Legal links now default to Automatic: the footer menu of a classic theme, inside the footer of a block theme, or the slim bar, so every site links its policy pages and Your Privacy Choices. Links the footer already has aren't repeated. Sites that had Legal links off switch to Automatic once; turn it off in Settings › Legal links.
• Pro Checkup: flags a site whose policy pages aren't linked from every page, with a one-click fix.

1.0.83

Released October 21, 2026 SHA-256 9a87c4c7fe61…

• Pro Legal links (Settings tab): link your policy pages and Your Privacy Choices from every page. Add them to your footer menu (styled by your theme), place the new "Legal links" block or [goconsent_legal_links] shortcode yourself, or add a slim bar at the bottom of every page in your footer's colors. Off by default.
• Spanish translation updated.

1.0.82

Released October 21, 2026 SHA-256 b951a35f74b0…

• Pro Export and import settings (Settings tab): download this site's GoConsent settings and import them on another site. Page choices and dates stay with each site; the business profile is only imported when you tick the box.

1.0.81

Released October 21, 2026 SHA-256 e5ff9d9b4822…

• Pro Rules by visitor's region (Consent tab): choose the banner for visitors in Europe, the United States, Canada, Brazil and everywhere else: opt-in, banner with analytics from the first page, or no banner where opt-out laws allow it. The region comes from the browser's time zone; no IP lookup.
• Pro Policy updates for law changes: when a privacy law starts to likely apply, GoConsent prepares the new wording for your policy pages, emails you, and waits on the Overview for your approval. Preview each page, then approve to update them all. Approvals are logged in Tools › Policy history.
• Spanish translation updated.

1.0.80

Released October 21, 2026 SHA-256 381643834a93…

• Pro Age gate (Consent tab): ask visitors to confirm their age before they see the site, as a yes/no question or a neutral date of birth. Runs in the browser; only a cookie remembers the answer. Policy pages stay readable; editors and search engines skip it.
• Pro Policy history (Tools): each time a published policy page's text changes, the version is saved with its dates. Visitors get a "Previous versions" list on the page (you can turn it off), and History on each page's card lets you read and compare versions.
• Pro Spanish: GoConsent's screens, banner, Your Privacy Choices, request form and policy pages are in Spanish when the site's language is Spanish (Spain or Mexico). Have a native speaker review policy pages before you rely on them.
• Ready for translation: every string can be translated on translate.wordpress.org.

1.0.79

Released October 21, 2026 SHA-256 983f848611cf…

• New free policy pages: Terms & Conditions (moved from Pro and expanded), Disclaimer, and Refund & Returns Policy. Each is written from your settings and what GoConsent finds on your site (a store, user accounts, open comments, your industry).
• Pro Policy pages are more thorough. Privacy Policy adds purchase, account and comment details, Do Not Track, data portability and withdrawing consent, California "Shine the Light" and Nevada, automated decisions, breach notice, and, for EU and UK visitors, transfer safeguards and the right to complain. Cookie Policy adds first- and third-party and session cookies, Google services, browser and advertising opt-out links, and changes. Accessibility Statement follows the W3C model: conformance status, compatibility, how we check, other formats and what to do if you're not satisfied.
• Pro Settings › Business: optional mailing address and phone (shown in each page's contact section) and a return window for the Refund & Returns Policy.
• Consent records: choose all records, the last 30 or 90 days, or the last 12 months before downloading the CSV.
• Pro "This policy changed" notice: when a published policy page's text changes, visitors who chose before the change see a short notice with a link to it for 30 days, until they dismiss it or open the page. Turn it off in Settings › Policy & alerts, or stop it for one page from its card in Tools.
• Pro Seven more Pro policy pages: DMCA Policy, Affiliate Disclosure (FTC), Earnings Disclaimer, Medical Disclaimer, Email Policy (CAN-SPAM), Comment Policy and Impressum.
• Pro Pro policy pages are more thorough: Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy (sources, recipients, no sale or geofencing, keeping and protecting it), Children's Privacy Policy (operator contact, parental consent, written retention and security, sharing choices), SMS Terms (opt-in, keywords, quiet hours, carriers) and Notice of Financial Incentive (how to join and withdraw, how the value is calculated).

1.0.77

• Pro License checks, check-ins, support requests and evidence scans always name the site by its saved Site Address. Opening wp-admin on a host's temporary address (like WPMU DEV's *.tempurl.host) no longer shows "Invalid license" or adds a second site to your RoxxiStudios list.
• Pro Account: when Pro isn't active, a Check now button (for Managed WP+ sites, which need no key), a "last checked" line, a fresh check each time you open the Account tab, and an hourly check instead of daily.

1.0.76

Released October 20, 2026 SHA-256 3a3612f12366…

• Pro Check-ins to roxxistudios.com include a random install ID made on your site, so RoxxiStudios keeps one record for your site when its address changes (for example from a temporary hosting URL to your own domain).

1.0.75

Released October 20, 2026 SHA-256 770693b31db7…

• Pro New in Pro: Account tab. Plan, renewal date, sites in use with a meter, license key with Show and Copy, Manage billing, Email my license key, Check now and Deactivate, all in one place. Licenses set up by RoxxiStudios and Managed WP+ sites say who bills them.
• Pro Account › Change plan (Stripe licenses): see every plan and price, switch from your Stripe billing page, or renew an ended license with the same key.
• Pro Account › Billing: price, next payment, and where to find your card and invoices.
• Pro New in Pro: Support. Ask RoxxiStudios for help without leaving WordPress, read replies, reply and mark requests solved. A badge on the Account tab shows new replies.
• Pro My sites is now "Sites on this license" on the Account tab. Old #sites links open Account.
• Pro Settings shows one line about your license with an Open Account button.
• Pro Deactivate on this site asks in GoConsent's own dialog instead of the browser's.
• Traffic: hover the Visitors, Page views, Top page and Top source numbers, or any bar, for a tooltip with the exact count, its share and the previous period, styled like the Visitors per day chart. Works with the keyboard too.
• Pro Pro traffic stats get the same tooltips on calls, form sends, directions and emails, donut slices and legends, lists and the busiest-hours squares.

1.0.74

Released October 20, 2026 SHA-256 f12a07b5d00a…

• Pro Traffic › Campaigns: links tagged with utm_content are shown separately, so the "Powered by GoConsent" credit shows which site each click came from (powered_by · example.com).
• Pro New in Pro: evidence scan (Scanner tab). A clean browser visits your site four times: before any choice, after Reject All, after Accept All, and with Global Privacy Control on. It checks that no advertising (or, if you ask first, no analytics) loads before a choice, that nothing tracks after Reject All, and that GPC stops advertising.
• Pro Each scan gives you a plain-English PDF report, a zip with the recordings of every visit (HAR files), cookies and screenshots, SHA-256 fingerprints for each file, and a share link that works for 30 days. Up to 5 scans a day; results are kept 90 days.
• Pro Evidence scan shows "Coming soon" until the GoConsent Scanner goes live.
• Pro New in Pro for Business and Agency licenses: My sites. Every site on your license in one tab, sorted so the ones that need attention come first: checkup score, open issues, last scan, privacy requests waiting (and late), GoConsent version and when each site last reported. Refresh sends this site's latest report first; Open GoConsent jumps to another site's screen.
• Pro New in Pro: leads and visit sources in Traffic. Calls (taps on phone links), form sends (Contact Form 7, WPForms, Gravity Forms, Formidable, Fluent Forms, Forminator, Elementor and plain forms; not search, login or checkout), directions (Google Maps, Apple Maps, Waze) and emails, each per page and compared with the previous period. Plus where visits come from (search, AI assistants, social, direct, other sites), which AI assistant, landing pages, visitors by country (from the browser's time zone), busiest days and hours, downloads and outbound clicks, and broken pages (404). Only the kind of action, the page and the file name or site are sent; never a phone number, email address or anything typed. New numbers start the day Pro is turned on.
• Pro New in Pro: a GoConsent widget on Dashboard › Home (administrators): the last 30 days of visitors, calls, form sends and directions with the change from the 30 days before, visitors per day, where visitors come from, checkup score and privacy requests waiting.
• Pro Account tools in Settings › GoConsent Pro license: Email my license key, Lost your key? (on a site with no key), and Renew for an expired license (Stripe opens for the same plan; the key stays the same and Pro turns back on when you return). Keys are only ever emailed to the address that bought the license, a few times a day at most.
• Pro My sites: Remove frees another site's seat (for a site you no longer have).
• Pro The daily report to roxxistudios.com now includes how many privacy requests are open and late (counts only), so My sites can show them.
• Pro Readme: External services lists what an evidence scan sends and where.

1.0.73

Released October 19, 2026 SHA-256 f278a872209b…

• Pro New in Pro: copy and delete requests. Your Privacy Choices asks what the visitor wants (stop selling or sharing, a copy of their information, or deleting it). Copy and delete requests get 45 days, a step-by-step checklist (including confirming it's really them), a receipt for the visitor and a reminder to you 7 days before the deadline. The Requests tab shows each request's type and days left.
• Pro New in Pro: new-tracker alerts. When the daily scan finds a tracker, pixel or embed it hasn't seen on your site before, you get an email with where it was found, what added it, and what to update.
• Pro New in Pro: privacy law alerts. An email when a privacy law starts to likely apply to you, and 60 days before a new one starts, with what it asks of your website.
• Pro New in Pro: a monthly report email with your checkup score, what to fix, consent choices, Global Privacy Control, requests and traffic.
• Pro New in Pro: look up a Consent ID (Consent › Consent records) to see every choice a visitor made, and print a proof-of-consent receipt with a SHA-256 fingerprint.
• Pro All Pro emails follow Settings › Email alerts.

1.0.72

Released October 19, 2026 SHA-256 8ce7dae02d49…

• Pro GoConsent Pro license: activate your key in Settings › GoConsent Pro license to turn on Pro features. Shows your plan, sites in use and the date it runs through, with Manage billing, Check now and Deactivate on this site. Managed WP+ sites are included with no key. Pro keeps working for 7 days if the license server can't be reached.
• Pro Tools: Pro policy pages on an unlicensed Pro install show "Activate your Pro license", which takes you to the license field.
• Pro Wording no longer implies guaranteed compliance: "Checkup score" replaces "Compliance score," "No issues found" replaces "You're all set," laws are shown as ones that "likely apply," and the readme says what GoConsent helps with rather than claiming compliance.
• Pro Tagline is now "Privacy compliance tools for WordPress," under the logo, in the plugin description and in the readme.
• Your Privacy Choices: every category folds closed, and a short notice at collection says what cookies are used for (only the categories your site has) and that ad cookies can count as selling or sharing.
• Privacy policy: new Notice at Collection section (what is collected, why, whether it is sold or shared, how long it is kept), linked from Your Privacy Choices. The Overview flags it when California law applies and it is missing.
• Scanner: reads your Google Tag Manager containers and lists the ad and tracking tags inside them.
• Scanner: recognises The Trade Desk, Amazon Ads, LiveRamp, Yahoo advertising, Kargo, Eyeota, Seedtag, PulsePoint, Beeswax and DAX.
• Pro "Powered by GoConsent" credit in Your Privacy Choices (on by default in Pro; turn it off in the Consent tab).
• Pro "Analytics before consent" is on by default for new installs (cookieless until the visitor chooses; ads stay blocked; EU & UK visitors unchanged). Existing sites keep their current setting.
• Overview: sites that have it off see a one-time question (Turn on / Keep off). It never comes back after either answer.
• Pro Your Privacy Choices: the "Powered by GoConsent" credit sits under the policy links, on the left.
• The credit shows the full GoConsent logo as the link, in one neutral color; it turns to the brand colors on hover and keyboard focus. It now keeps that color on sites whose link color would have overridden it.
• Pro Banner: adds a Notice at Collection link next to Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, and shows the "Powered by GoConsent" credit (when on) at the end of the button row.
• Pro Your Privacy Choices: "Opt out using your email" sends a Do Not Sell or Share request without an account or ID. The visitor gets a receipt; you get an email, a 15-business-day countdown, a checklist and a reminder 3 business days before the deadline. Requests have their own Requests tab (with a count badge) and appear on the Overview; records are kept 24 months.
• Pro Global Privacy Control: the notice now says the signal was honored; the Sec-GPC header is also checked on the server, and a signed-in visitor's GPC opt-out applies on every device they sign in from.
• Pro IAB Global Privacy Platform: __gpp API with the US National section, matching each visitor's choice and GPC.
• Policy pages: GoConsent owns the spacing of the pages it builds, so themes that pad every block (such as Astra) no longer leave large gaps.
• Accessibility: page focus stays clear of the open banner (WCAG 2.4.11); policy links in Your Privacy Choices have 24px targets (WCAG 2.5.8); form errors are announced.
• Scanner: recognises session recorders (FullStory, Mouseflow, Lucky Orange, Smartlook, LogRocket, Crazy Egg, Inspectlet), product analytics (Mixpanel, Heap, Segment, Amplitude, Plausible, Matomo Cloud, StatCounter, comScore) and more ad tags (Quora, Taboola, Outbrain, Nextdoor, ZoomInfo, Leadfeeder, Klaviyo, Mailchimp, ActiveCampaign, Tatari, PubMatic, Magnite, OpenX, Index Exchange, Media.net).
• Multisite: network activation and deletion cover every site in the network.
• Preview: the banner preview stays on while you click around the site.
• Staff: administrators and editors always skip the banner; authors and contributors skip it by default, and you can now untick them (for example, outside writers).

1.0.71

Released October 16, 2026 SHA-256 6e8495bbbc0d…

• Real estate: the listing maps and video tours check now runs only when the scan finds maps or videos on the site.
• Suggested privacy policy wording for listing maps and video tours.
• Overview: an item without suggested wording offers Review policy instead of an empty panel.

1.0.69

Released October 15, 2026 SHA-256 34b740e0e0d9…

• Privacy button: 48px, with the shield icon optically centered.
• Tools: on sites built with Beaver Builder or Elementor, policy pages are built in the same builder layout as a similar page on the site (title banner, page width, text styles).
• Pro Tools: an existing policy is updated section by section. GoConsent adds what's missing and keeps your own sections; it offers to replace WordPress sample text.
• Tools: the preview lists every change with a checkbox and shows the page as it will read. Changes you untick are remembered.

1.0.68

Released October 14, 2026 SHA-256 c3d4cf968ec3…

• Nothing runs in the background, and no outside request is made, until an administrator accepts the terms. Activation only creates the database tables.
• Google Fonts hosting is now opt-in (Consent › Host Google Fonts on this site), off by default. Downloads use the WordPress HTTP API only.
• Google Fonts addresses with several weights (e.g. wght@400;700) are copied in full.
• Output escaping tightened in the banner, privacy button, cookie tables and footer link.

1.0.67

• Accessibility: button and link text now meet WCAG AA contrast with any banner color. Light brand colors get dark text automatically.
• Accessibility: the cookie list in the Cookie Policy can be scrolled with the keyboard.

1.0.66

Released October 12, 2026 SHA-256 0bbb70738af4…

• Pro New: Banner setting with "US opt-out (no banner)". US visitors get no banner; analytics runs, marketing stays off, and Your Privacy Choices and Global Privacy Control stay in force. Only available when the scan finds no ad tags or session recording; EU & UK visitors always get the banner.
• If a later scan finds an ad tag or session recording, the banner comes back on its own and the compliance report flags it.

1.0.65

Released October 12, 2026 SHA-256 f7146a95f2d3…

Released October 12, 2026 SHA-256 4515a5d7fb1a…

• The icon also sits beside the Your Privacy Choices title.
• Your Privacy Choices: each category folds open, so the panel is shorter. Names, cookie counts and switches stay in view; the marketing opt-out line always shows.

1.0.60

Released October 12, 2026 SHA-256 e779a7c4af6e…

• Banner styles are now passed with wp_add_inline_script() and applied by the script; no inline style tags are printed.

1.0.59

Released October 11, 2026 SHA-256 0860ad499a99…

• GoConsent no longer touches back-office requests: wp-admin, AJAX, REST and cron pages are never buffered, rewritten or shown the banner. Fixes Google Maps staying blocked inside standalone CRM pages.
• Pro Staff don't get the banner or blocking: anyone who can edit content, plus CRM roles (MLS Genie, Jetpack CRM, WP ERP, Groundhogg, WooCommerce and any role with "crm" access). Choose the roles under Consent › Protection › Staff. Visitors and clients with accounts still get the banner.
• New goconsent_skip_request filter: return true to leave a request alone. Also goconsent_staff_roles and goconsent_is_staff.
• Pro "Open site" previews the banner for staff.

• Cookie declaration: every cookie and tracker found by the GoConsent™ scan, with provider, purpose, type and how long it lasts, listed by category in Your Privacy Choices and the Cookie Policy.
• New [goconsent_cookie_table] shortcode; the generated Cookie Policy page now includes it, so the list stays current after every scan.
• Pro Consent receipt: Your Privacy Choices shows the visitor's Consent ID, when it was saved and what it allows, with a Copy button.
• Privacy button: a floating GoConsent shield reopens Your Privacy Choices after a choice. On/off, bottom left or right, and height are under Consent › Banner look.
• Global Privacy Control notice now shows on the banner itself, and the Marketing switch locks off.

• New Laws tab: a plain-English card for each privacy law GoConsent checks (who it covers, what it asks of you, citation, link to the official text). Laws that apply to you come first, then laws starting soon; other laws are collapsed and searchable.
• Pro On the Overview, "Required by" names link to that law's card.

1.0.35

Released October 9, 2026 SHA-256 9864877e3038…

• The report now knows which privacy laws apply to your business. Settings > Who you serve asks where your customers are and your size; GoConsent checks 24 state privacy laws (including Oklahoma, Louisiana, Alabama and Vermont, enacted in 2026), California, Delaware and Nevada website-notice laws, Washington and Nevada health data laws, COPPA, GLBA, GDPR, UK GDPR and PIPEDA.
• Pro Checks a law requires show as warnings and name the law. Everything else is a best-practice tip that doesn't lower your score, with suggested wording.
• Laws starting soon (or thresholds dropping, like Delaware in 2027) are flagged ahead of time.
• New check: Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy for health businesses serving Washington or Nevada.
• Rules reviewed 2026-10-09. Not legal advice.

1.0.34

• Pro "Copy" sits next to "Copy & fix", for the next issues once the editor is already open.

1.0.33

• Pro "Copy & fix" copies the suggested wording and opens the privacy page in its editor (block editor, Elementor or Beaver Builder) in a new tab. "Review policy" opens it for the yearly review.
• Pro "Add to Privacy Policy" only shows for pages made with the WordPress editor, where the added text reaches visitors.
• Coming back to GoConsent after editing re-checks the privacy policy automatically.

1.0.32

• New Restaurant industry (Settings): checks the privacy policy covers reservation and ordering services, allergy and dietary notes, loyalty and gift card programs (California Notice of Financial Incentive) and marketing emails and texts, with suggested wording for each. Choosing it turns on maps by default.

1.0.31

• Pro Restaurant booking and ordering widgets (Resy, OpenTable, Tock, SevenRooms, Toast) are recognised as necessary, so they keep working and aren't flagged for review.

1.0.30

• Pro Scanner requests pages with WordPress's own user agent, so host firewalls that block "scanner" user agents let it through.
• When a page is blocked, the scan message quotes the error page and names the web server, to show who blocked it.

1.0.29

• Pro RoxxiStudios builds report the compliance score (score, open issue counts and titles, last scan) to Roxxi API on their daily check-in and within a minute of any change.

1.0.28

Released October 9, 2026 SHA-256 a3d71c7abdf0…

• Pro Scanner works with Defender's "Empty headers" bot protection turned on (it now sends standard request headers).

1.0.27

Released October 9, 2026 SHA-256 8cd369138fa9…

• When a firewall blocks the scanner, GoConsent names it (Defender, Wordfence, Solid Security, Sucuri, Cloudflare, ModSecurity or the web host) and shows the server IP address to allowlist.

1.0.26

Released October 9, 2026 SHA-256 1fef3779b39e…

• On phones, the admin tabs become a dropdown.

1.0.25

Released October 9, 2026 SHA-256 31c550a9da22…

• Pro Scanner reads pages on hosts where a site can't verify its own SSL certificate when calling itself (same rule WordPress uses for its own checks).
• Pro "Some pages couldn't be scanned" now says why: firewall, timeout, SSL, connection, password protection or server error.

1.0.24

• Pro GoConsent icon shows on Dashboard > Updates and in update notices.

1.0.23

Released October 8, 2026 SHA-256 00d53c791aba…

• Mobile banner: text, policy links, Reject All / Accept All and Customize are centered.

1.0.22

Released October 8, 2026 SHA-256 0943d5907e63…

• Pro "Re-ask all visitors" confirms in a GoConsent dialog, centered and in GoConsent colors, instead of a red "Click again to confirm" button.

1.0.21

• More space between text and buttons in the banner, Your Privacy Choices and the map and video notices.

1.0.20

• Browsers always load the current GoConsent files after an update, even on sites where another plugin rewrites file version numbers.

1.0.19

Released October 8, 2026 SHA-256 93d5d1952f5b…

• The banner, Your Privacy Choices and the Cookie Policy now render in their own Shadow DOM, so theme and page-builder styles (including !important rules) can no longer change them. Older browsers fall back to the scoped stylesheet.

1.0.18

Released October 8, 2026 SHA-256 4c6ac52fe9d7…

• Region-aware defaults (on by default): visitors in Europe (EU, EEA, UK, Switzerland) get analytics and maps & videos off until they choose, as GDPR expects, even where the site turns them on by default for US visitors. Detected from the browser’s time zone, so it works behind page caches and nothing is sent anywhere. Banner and cookie policy wording follow.

1.0.17

• Pro New "Maps & videos" choice in Your Privacy Choices (Google Maps, YouTube, Vimeo), separate from marketing. Visitors who leave it off can still load each map or video with a click.
• Pro New "Maps & videos on by default" setting. Choosing Real estate as the industry turns it on, so listing maps and video tours load without a click; visitors can turn them off.
• New Real estate industry check: the privacy policy should mention maps and video tours.
• Your Privacy Choices notes that some features, like maps and videos, won’t load unless allowed.
• Proof-of-consent records and CSV include the Maps & videos choice.

1.0.16

Released October 8, 2026 SHA-256 10428d33770c…

• Pro Plugin details no longer warn "not tested with your version of WordPress" on point releases (for example 7.1.3 when tested up to 7.1).

1.0.15

Released October 8, 2026 SHA-256 e6041c04ec7e…

• New GoConsent™ logo in the admin header and new shield icon in the admin menu.

1.0.14

• Code review pass for the WordPress.org directory: database queries use placeholders for table names, PHP 8.1+ compatibility fixes, translator notes.
• Admin notices show only on the Dashboard and Plugins screens and can be dismissed.
• Suggested text for Settings → Privacy → Policy Guide explains the consent cookie, proof-of-consent records and cookie-free stats.
• Consent records CSV: cells a spreadsheet could run as formulas are neutralised.
• Traffic stats ignore floods (more than 300 page views an hour from one visitor).

1.0.13

Released October 8, 2026 SHA-256 399ace05b306…

• Google Fonts: when another plugin stops WordPress from downloading the fonts, GoConsent downloads them directly (server to Google, no visitor data) and, if that fails too, names the plugin in the warning.

1.0.12

Released October 8, 2026 SHA-256 7692c60b3e9d…

• Google Fonts self-hosting works with large font sets (for example Poppins in every weight, 54 files): files download several at a time, in the background and during scans, and a run that is cut short picks up where it stopped. Visitors never wait on a download.
• Fonts loaded with a changing version number are recognised as the same font.
• The Google Fonts warning now says why the fonts aren’t copied yet (progress, blocked connection, error from Google) and what to do.

1.0.11

Released October 8, 2026 SHA-256 e2d1809e46ee…

• Pro Google Maps: listing galleries and other components with Map or Street View buttons are no longer covered. The photos show as normal, and the Google Maps notice appears only when a visitor clicks Map or Street View; after "Load map" the map opens.
• Map buttons stay visible while Maps waits for consent, even where the component would hide them.
• Only empty map areas get the notice up front.

1.0.10

• Name shown as GoConsent™ in the Plugins list and admin menu.

1.0.9

• Pro GoConsent now updates on its own from RoxxiStudios, with no other plugin needed. "Push live" in Roxxi API reaches it right away.

1.0.8

Released October 8, 2026 SHA-256 9ddc9c85826c…

• New GoConsent shield icon in the admin menu.

1.0.7

• Tested with WordPress 7.1.
• Uninstall also removes script approvals and the scan lock.
• Diagnostic logging only when WP_DEBUG_LOG is on.

1.0.6

Released October 8, 2026 SHA-256 f45751c3e41a…

• Scanner shows what added each script: the plugin or theme, the page-builder module and page it was pasted into (with an Edit page link), or a header/footer snippet. Scripts with no identifiable source are flagged.
• Approve button for scripts that need review: one click keeps the suggested category. Approved scripts show who approved them and when, with Undo.

1.0.5

Released October 8, 2026 SHA-256 c160aa73bb53…

• Pro Google Maps waits for the visitor: the Maps JavaScript API (theme and plugin loaders, including scripts that load it on the fly) and Static Maps images load only after "Load map" or Accept All. Map areas show a Load map placeholder.
• New privacy policy check and suggested wording for Google Maps. The cookie policy now explains maps.
• Pro "Analytics before consent" now runs Google Analytics without cookies until the visitor chooses.
• Scanner also checks one recent item from each custom post type (listings, vehicles, products).
• Pro Scanner is safe on small hosting plans: one scan at a time, 8-second page timeout, and it stops after two slow or failed pages or 45 seconds, so it can't tie up the site's PHP workers.
• Pro Banner and dialog styles are scoped so themes and page builders can't override them.
• Banner: Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy links sit on their own row.

1.0.4

• Privacy policy checks now read the page as visitors see it, including text built into the theme.
• Pro When the theme builds the privacy page, "Add to Privacy Policy" is hidden and the policy date is read from the page.

1.0.3

• Proof of consent: every Accept, Reject or Save is recorded (anonymized IP, 24-month retention). Download as CSV in the Consent tab.
• HQ Rental Software is labelled as adding a session ID to page URLs in the cookie policy.

1.0.2

• Pro Banner links no longer pick up the theme's all-caps style.

1.0.1

• Banner links: removed the forced zero padding.

1.0.0

• First release.
