Icegram Cookie Manager by Icegram is the lightweight, no-headache WordPress cookie consent plugin built for site owners who want privacy compliance handled without 20-step legal wizards, external SaaS accounts, or monthly pageview caps.

Install it, customize your banner colors and message under Settings > Icegram Cookie Manager, and hit save. Your visitors stay informed and in control, your Google Analytics and Ads tags receive Consent Mode v2 signals, and your site stays fast.

Why Choose Icegram Cookie Manager Over Bloated CMP Plugins?

Most WordPress cookie consent plugins either cap your free site at 1,000–5,000 monthly visits, force “Powered by” branding onto your banner, or lock Google Consent Mode v2 behind expensive annual subscriptions. Icegram Cookie Manager gives you everything 100% free forever:

• 100% Free Forever (No Pageview Caps or Upsells): No paid pro tier, no monthly visitor limits, no locked features, and no forced branding.
• Built-In Google Consent Mode v2 Support (Added in v1.0.4): Pass visitor consent signals seamlessly to Google Analytics 4 (GA4), Google Ads, and Google Tag Manager without paying for a premium CMP upgrade.
• Granular Visitor Cookie Preference Controls (Added in v1.0.2): Let visitors review and customize their cookie preferences before giving consent — demonstrating transparent, GDPR-aligned choice.
• Ultra-Lightweight & Core Web Vitals Friendly: Minimal JavaScript, zero external server requests, zero third-party fonts or CDN dependencies, and zero database bloat.
• Live in Under 5 Minutes: Skip overwhelming legal questionnaires and 50-page background scanners. Go from Install → Activate → Live Cookie Banner from a single clean settings screen.
• Multilingual Out of the Box (6 Languages): Includes native translations for English, German (DSGVO), Spanish, French (RGPD), Italian, and Portuguese.
