What are the benefits of adding Usercentrics to my WordPress website?

The Usercentrics Consent Management Platform (CMP) enables you to harmonize your WordPress websites’ marketing and data strategy with legal requirements. Usercentrics seamless integration allows you to collect consents in accordance with the law without restricting your marketing data and help to improve your opt-in rate, all while being legally compliant. 

How fast is the installation?

Integration by plugin for CMP v1, or installation manually for CMP v1 or CMP v2,  takes only a few easy steps.

If I make updates to my Usercentrics CMP, will I need to update the script I manually entered in WordPress again?

No, you will not need to update the script again. You only have to update the script if you enable TCF. In that case, you’ll receive a new script tag.

What about my third party integrations and cookies?

You will need to manually block them. Please see our technical guide as a reference.Read more here.

For questions about third party services using Google Tag Manager, please see our documentation here.
