What RoyalComply Did
RoyalComply was a free WordPress plugin for cookie consent and privacy compliance. It blocked analytics and marketing scripts until visitors gave consent, integrated Google Consent Mode v2, and adapted its banner behavior to satisfy GDPR (Europe), CCPA (California), and the 19 US state privacy laws that took effect through 2025–2026.
Unlike most consent plugins that only show a banner, RoyalComply performed real script blocking — changing script type attributes so analytics and marketing scripts didn't execute until consent was granted. Google Consent Mode v2 integration sent all required consent signals (ad_storage, analytics_storage, ad_user_data, ad_personalization, and others) to Google Ads and Google Analytics.
The plugin covered 19 US state privacy laws: California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Oregon, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Virginia. Server-side consent logging provided auditable records for regulatory demonstration.
