Creating a cookie banner for WordPress with CCM19

To implement a cookie banner on a WordPress website with CCM19, proceed as follows:

1. Configuring the cookie banner in CCM19:
   Start by configuring the cookie banner directly in the CCM19 user interface. Detailed information and instructions can be found on our CCM19 WordPress Cookie Plugin page. Here you can define all relevant settings, such as the texts, data protection options and the design of the banner.
2. Plugin installation in WordPress:
   Install and activate the CCM19 plugin in WordPress. This enables the integration of the cookie banner previously created in CCM19. In the WordPress administration area, navigate to "Plugins", select "Add new", search for "CCM19", install and activate it.
3. Integration of your CCM19 code:
   Once configured in CCM19, a specific code is generated that you insert into your WordPress website using the CCM19 plugin. This code ensures that the cookie banner is displayed correctly on your website.

By taking these steps, you ensure that your WordPress website uses a legally compliant cookie banner that effectively obtains visitors' consent to use cookies. This builds user trust and supports compliance with data protection standards.
