Privacy plugins help WordPress site owners comply with data protection regulations including GDPR (EU), CCPA (California), LGPD (Brazil), and PIPEDA (Canada) by managing cookie consent banners, privacy policy generators, data subject access requests, and user data erasure workflows. They audit which third-party scripts and cookies are loaded on a site and categorise them by purpose — functional, analytical, marketing — so visitors can give or withdraw informed consent. These tools are essential for any site collecting personal data through contact forms, analytics, advertising pixels, or user accounts. Many privacy plugins integrate directly with popular analytics and tag manager tools to conditionally fire tracking scripts only after consent has been granted.
