## Description

**MatrixInn GDPR & UK Compliance** helps you make your WordPress site compliant 
with:

 * **EU GDPR** — General Data Protection Regulation
 * **UK GDPR** — Post-Brexit UK data protection law (enforced by the ICO)
 * **PECR** — Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (UK cookie rules)

Built by [MatrixInn Solutions](https://matrixinnsolutions.com) — a UK-focused compliance
agency — to be lightweight, transparent, and fully ready for WordPress.org distribution.

   Box
 * **Granular Consent** — 4 categories: Strictly Necessary, Functional, Analytics&
   Performance, Marketing & Advertising
 * **Fully Customisable** — Custom title, message, button labels, and 5 colour pickers
   for background, text, and each button
 * **“Powered by MatrixInn Solutions”** branding (toggleable)
 * **Re-consent** — Automatically ask visitors to re-consent when you update your
   Cookie Policy

#### Consent Management

 * **Consent Logging** — Records every consent choice with anonymised IP, timestamp,
   category breakdown, page URL, and policy version
 * **Admin Consent Logs** — Stats dashboard (Total / Accepted / Declined / Partial),
   filterable table, and one-click clear
 * **Cookie Preferences Modal** — Let visitors manage individual cookie categories
   at any time via a floating button

#### Cookie Policy Generator

 * Covers: `analytics_storage`, `ad_storage`, `ad_user_data`, `ad_personalization`,`
   functionality_storage`
 * Enables `ads_data_redaction` and `url_passthrough` automatically

#### Data Subject Rights

 * **Data Export Form** — Shortcode `[matrixinn_gdpr_export]` — users request a 
   copy of their data

   data deletion
 * Hooks into WordPress core **Tools  Export Personal Data / Erase Personal Data**

## FAQ

### Does this plugin make my site fully GDPR compliant?

This plugin provides the essential technical tools for GDPR compliance — cookie 
consent, consent logging, data request forms, and policy generation. Full compliance
also requires appropriate privacy policies, data processor agreements, and organisational
measures. We recommend consulting a legal professional for your specific situation.

### What is the difference between EU GDPR and UK GDPR?

After Brexit, the UK retained GDPR principles in its own “UK GDPR” legislation, 
enforced by the ICO (Information Commissioner’s Office). This plugin covers both—
it is suitable for sites with EU and/or UK visitors.

### What is PECR?

The Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) are UK rules that specifically
require informed consent before placing non-essential cookies. This plugin handles
PECR compliance through its granular consent banner.

### Does this plugin work with Google Analytics 4?

Yes. Enable Google Consent Mode v2 under the GCM tab to ensure consent signals are
sent correctly to Google.

### Does this plugin support Google Consent Mode v2?

Yes. Enable it under **Settings  Google Consent Mode**. The plugin outputs `default
deny` signals in `wp_head` before any other scripts, and fires `gtag('consent','
update',...)` whenever a visitor makes a choice.

### Is this plugin compatible with caching plugins?

Yes. The cookie check and banner display are handled client-side via JavaScript.
For server-side caching plugins, exclude the cookie `minn_gdpr_consent` from cache
variation rules if you are serving different content based on consent.

### Does this plugin work with WordPress Multisite?

Yes, the plugin is compatible with WordPress Multisite installations.

### Where are consent logs stored?

In a custom database table `wp_minn_gdpr_consent_log`. IP addresses are anonymised
by default (last octet zeroed for IPv4, last 80 bits zeroed for IPv6).

### What happens when I uninstall the plugin?

All plugin data is removed: the `wp_minn_gdpr_consent_log` table is dropped, and
all plugin options (`minn_gdpr_*`) are deleted from `wp_options`.

### Where can I manage data export and erasure requests?

Go to **Tools  Export Personal Data** or **Tools  Erase Personal Data** in your 
WordPress admin. These are built-in WordPress tools that this plugin hooks into.

## Changelog

#### 1.0.3

 * Removed: Script Manager feature removed for WordPress.org compliance
 * Updated: readme.txt, screenshots, and FAQ to reflect removal

#### 1.0.2

 * Added: Overlay with blur effect behind Centre Popup layout
 * Added: `ensure_defaults()` runs on `admin_init` to reliably seed default options
   on any install
 * Fixed: Checkbox options (Consent Logging, Anonymise IP, Show Branding, etc.) 
   not persisting correctly when unchecked — added hidden input fallback for all
   checkbox fields
 * Fixed: Cookie category toggles (Functional, Analytics, Marketing) not activating
   in modal due to empty string stored in DB
 * Fixed: Banner layout class missing on first load after install
 * Improved: `sanitize_field()` now correctly converts string “0”/”1″ to integer
   for checkbox options
 * Version bump to bust CSS/JS browser cache

#### 1.0.1

 * Fixed: Cookie consent banner layouts (Popup, Corner) not positioning correctly
   due to CSS specificity conflict between `#minn-gdpr-banner` ID selector and layout
   classes
 * Fixed: Added `!important` to all layout-specific CSS properties in `.minn-layout-
   popup` and `.minn-layout-corner`
 * Fixed: Consent logging failing with “Unknown column ‘categories_json’” — activator
   now always drops and recreates tables on activation to ensure fresh schema
 * Fixed: `TEXT DEFAULT NULL` incompatibility with `dbDelta()` — changed to `VARCHAR
   NOT NULL DEFAULT ''`
 * Fixed: Null `user_id` with `%d` format — now defaults to integer `0`
 * Fixed: Settings page fields appearing empty — activator now checks for both `
   false` and `''` before setting defaults
