Changelog

What's new

All releases — latest first

March 2026 — GCC & Brunei Compliance Pack

✨ New
Arabic language + RTL layout
Full right-to-left banner for Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, and Kuwait. Select Arabic in Content settings — RTL layout, font fallback, and flipped UI all apply automatically.
✨ New
Bahasa Melayu (Malay)
Native Malay translations covering Brunei Darussalam and Malaysia. Fully aligned with Brunei PDPO 2025 — the plugin's home country.
✨ New
Policy Version re-consent trigger
Bump the version number in Advanced settings to force all existing visitors to re-consent. Required by GDPR, Saudi PDPL, and Brunei PDPO 2025 when your policy or data processing changes.
✨ New
Extended Disclosure field
Optional second paragraph on the banner for legal-grade disclosure of data collection purpose and third-party sharing — directly satisfies PDPL and PDPO explicit consent requirements.
✨ New
Data Processing Location field
Adds a banner notice: "Your data is processed and stored on servers in [location]." Addresses Saudi PDPL and Brunei PDPO data localisation disclosure expectations.
⚡ Improvement
Compliance tier badges in analytics
Country analytics now shows GDPR / PDPL (GCC) / PDPA / PDPO (BN) badges next to each country row so you can see your regulatory exposure at a glance.
⚡ Improvement
Smart admin compliance notices
Automatic warnings in the WordPress admin when BN or GCC visitor codes appear in the consent log and required fields aren't yet configured.
🔄 Migration
policy_version column added
Consent log gains a policy_version column on first load after upgrade — tracks which policy version each visitor consented to. Zero manual steps.

February 2026 — Consent analytics, dark mode fix, live preview, admin credits

🐛 Bug Fix
Dark mode text finally readable
Checked cookie categories in dark mode showed near-white text on pale cream. Fixed by overriding --cz-cookie-pale in the dark theme token set.
✨ New
Consent analytics dashboard
Consent Log now shows donut charts (Accept All / Necessary Only / Custom), category acceptance bars, a 30-day trend chart, and a top countries table.
✨ New
Visitor country tracking
Country code stored per consent record (ISO 2-letter only — GDPR minimal data). Auto-detects via Cloudflare header or geoplugin.net API with 24h cache. Automatic DB migration for existing installs.
✨ New
Live banner preview in Design tab
A sticky preview panel shows a scaled browser mockup of your banner that updates instantly as you change layout, theme, colours, and text — no saving required.
⚡ Improvement
Developer footer credit
Subtle footer on both admin pages: version number, GitHub star, bug report, Buy Me a Coffee, and "Made with ❤️ by flyzal". Industry-standard placement, never in the content flow.
🐛 Bug Fix
Consent log padding & flag emoji
Right-side text cutoff fixed by adding padding-right to the page. Flag emoji rendering fixed from fragile mb_convert_encoding to reliable mb_chr().

February 2026 — Polish & Accessibility release

♿ Accessibility
Modal focus trap
Keyboard users can no longer Tab past the modal overlay onto page content. Tab/Shift+Tab wraps within visible banner elements (WCAG 2.1).
♿ Accessibility
Escape key closes banner
Pressing Esc dismisses the banner with Necessary Only — the standard WCAG dialog pattern. Configurable via Advanced settings.
♿ Accessibility
Focus returns after dismissal
After accepting, focus moves to the 🍪 re-open button — where WCAG 2.4.3 focus order spec says it should go.
♿ Accessibility
Proper ARIA on dialog
Banner now uses aria-labelledby and aria-describedby pointing at real content. Screen readers announce actual title text.
⚡ Improvement
No-flicker banner init
Banner starts visibility:hidden in CSS so returning visitors never see a flash before JS hides it.
✨ New
Test Mode + re-open position
Admins can force the banner visible without clearing cookies (with a 🔧 badge). Re-open button position now configurable: bottom-left or bottom-right.

February 2026 — Critical modal fix

🐛 Bug Fix
Modal consent dismiss fixed
The modal layout no longer stays open after clicking Accept All or Necessary Only. Root cause: CSS display:flex !important specificity conflict.
🐛 Bug Fix
Preferences panel opens correctly
Clicking "Customize" now reliably shows the cookie category panel — previously blocked by a hardcoded inline display:none JS couldn't override.
⚡ Improvement
Rewritten JS show/hide engine
Replaced fragile CSS class toggling with direct element.style.display — inline styles always win over any CSS rule.

January 2026 — Initial release

✨ New
Bar, Box & Modal layouts
Three distinct banner designs × 4 positions. Light, Dark, and Custom themes with full colour picker support.
✨ New
GA4 Consent Mode v2
Auto-load Google Analytics 4 with analytics_storage, ad_storage, and functionality_storage signals. Default denied until visitor consents.
✨ New
Consent Audit Log
Every consent event recorded to the WordPress database — date, masked IP, and per-category values for GDPR audit trail.
