Description
Aiara Cookie Consent connects your WordPress website to Aiara — the Swiss solution for cookie consent, privacy policy and legal notice by Sidora AG. The plugin embeds the Aiara cookie banner seamlessly: you simply enter your Domain ID, and everything else is managed centrally in your Aiara account.
Features
- Cookie banner — GDPR- and Swiss FADP-compliant banner with four layouts (bar, modal, corner, inline)
- Google Consent Mode v2 — full compatibility with Google Ads and Google Analytics
- Multilingual — automatic language detection (German, French, Italian, English)
- Lightweight — under 15 KB, no dependencies, no performance impact
- Script blocking — automatically blocks tracking scripts until consent is given
- Consent logging — complete proof-of-consent documentation through your Aiara account
- Central management — banner design, cookie database and legal texts are maintained in the Aiara dashboard
Requirements
An active Aiara account is required to operate this plugin (paid service). Sign-up and pricing at aiara.ch/pricing.
External services
This plugin is a connector to the cloud service Aiara (operated by Sidora AG, Switzerland). Without this service the plugin has no function. The following connections to https://www.aiara.ch are made:
-
Loading the banner script (front end, for your website visitors)
On every public page the scripthttps://www.aiara.ch/banner/banner.iife.jsis loaded. This script renders the cookie banner, manages consent, and blocks or unblocks tracking scripts. Your configured Domain ID and the API base URL are passed as attributes. In order to load the script, the visitor’s IP address is transmitted to aiara.ch — as with any externally embedded resource. Visitors’ consent choices are logged through the Aiara service. -
Connection test (admin, only on your action)
When you click “Test connection” in the plugin, WordPress sends your Domain ID tohttps://www.aiara.ch/api/v1/banner/{domain-id}and receives the associated hostname in return, in order to verify the configuration.
No other data is transmitted automatically. Use of the Aiara service is subject to the following terms:
- Terms and Conditions: https://www.aiara.ch/agb
- Privacy Policy: https://www.aiara.ch/datenschutz
Installation
- Upload the plugin or search for “Aiara Cookie Consent” in the WordPress plugin directory.
- Activate the plugin.
- Go to Aiara in the sidebar.
- Enter your Domain ID (found in the Aiara dashboard).
- Click “Save settings”.
The cookie banner now appears automatically on every page of your website.
FAQ
-
Do I need an Aiara account?
-
Yes. The plugin embeds the Aiara cloud service and has no function without an active account. Sign up at aiara.ch/pricing.
-
Where do I find my Domain ID?
-
In the Aiara dashboard under your domain, in the “Embed script” tab.
-
Does the plugin work with WordPress Multisite?
-
Yes. Settings are stored per site, so every site in the network enters its own Domain ID under Aiara in its own site admin. Note that each site needs its own domain in your Aiara account, because the banner configuration is bound to the registered hostname.
-
Does the plugin work with caching plugins?
-
Yes. The banner script is loaded client-side and manages the consent state via cookies. It is fully compatible with WP Super Cache, W3 Total Cache, LiteSpeed Cache and other caching solutions.
-
Does the plugin support Google Consent Mode v2?
-
Yes. The Aiara banner integrates Google Consent Mode v2 automatically. No additional configuration is required.
-
Can I categorize scripts manually?
-
Yes. Add the
data-cookie-categoryattribute to your script tags:<script src="..." data-cookie-category="analytics" type="text/plain"></script>Available categories:
analytics,marketing,functional. -
Is Aiara suitable for Switzerland?
-
Yes. Aiara was built specifically for Swiss companies and meets both the revised Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (revFADP) and the EU GDPR.
