The WordPress Consent API is a framework that allows WordPress plugins to communicate with each other about user consent. Instead of each plugin asking for consent on its own, the WP Consent API provides a single place where consent decisions are stored. Other plugins can then “listen” to those decisions and adjust their behavior automatically.
How Termly supports it
Many WordPress site owners use multiple plugins for analytics, marketing, and other services. Without a shared system, these plugins may not always respect the same consent settings. By supporting the WP Consent API, Termly ensures:
Your visitors’ preferences are carried across your entire site.
Other plugins that follow the WP Consent API will automatically align with the choices made in your Termly banner.
You don’t need to manage consent in multiple places — Termly handles it for you.
How categories align
To make sure everything works smoothly, Termly’s categories are matched to the WP Consent API’s standard categories:
| Termly Category | WP Consent API Category |
|---|---|
| Essential | Functional (always allowed) |
| Performance | Preferences |
| Analytics | Statistics |
| Advertising | Marketing |
| Social Networking | Marketing |
With Termly’s WP Consent API support:
Your banner continues to control all consent decisions.
Supported plugins on your WordPress site automatically follow those decisions.
Your setup stays simpler, more consistent, and compliant.
