The CookieAdmin team has launched CookieAdmin v1.1.6 adds new features, some fixes. 

The change log is as follow:-

  • [Pro Feature] Added Global Privacy Control (GPC).
  • [Pro Feature] Added Re-Consent icons options with support for custom icon upload and custom link.
  • [Fix] Fixed async loading issue.
  • [Fix] Improved Elementor banner compatibility.

  • [Task] Minor code improvements and structural changes.

Global Privacy Control(GPC)

Global Privacy Control (GPC) is a browser signal that allows users to automatically tell websites they do not want their personal data sold or shared.

It is legally recognized under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and its update, the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), where websites must honor the signal as an opt-out request. Similar recognition is emerging in other privacy laws such as the Colorado Privacy Act and the Connecticut Data Privacy Act, which also require support for universal opt-out mechanisms.

GPC signal honored

This makes GPC part of a broader move toward automated, browser-level privacy preference signals across jurisdictions.
CookieAdmin makes it easy to enabled GPC on the websites, so the users who do not want them to be tracked can utilize this feature.

For more detail on how GPC works in CookieAdmin you can check the doc about it.
