FAQ

Maybe there’s a lot of questions on your mind. See the FAQ on the main website and the setup guide for implementing the seers cookie consent plugin.

The Cookie Banner is not displaying?

If your banner isn’t showing, please make sure:

  1. After you installed and activated the plugin from WordPress, you should also activate it through our wp plugin settings by providing your email address, agreeing to terms and clicking the Activate button.
  2. Please be patient. It can take up to 24 hours for the complete scan of your website after activating the plugin.
  3. Check whether you have switched the banner toggle off in the plugin settings. (or unchecked the banner checkbox in the Seers Account Dashboard of cookie banner settings)

We hope that you have successfully displayed the banner on your website after following the steps mentioned above.

If you are still unable to see your banner or for any further assistance, please contact us at support@seersco.com.

This plugin blocks all the cookies?

Yes, the plugin blocks all the cookies except the ones marked as necessary. If you haven’t switched prior consent ON, then all the cookies will be automatically stored until a user disables those. In the other case, when the prior consent is switched ON, all the cookies will be blocked until the user allows them.

Do this plugins provide full compliance with the law?

No, as a cookie consent plugin, it is difficult to know anything about specific circumstances on your website. This plugin can help you in the overall compliance process but can’t guarantee you full compliance with the GDPR, CCPA, LGPD and other regulations.

If you are looking for a privacy expert related to your website, you can always visit seersco.com or contact us at support@seersco.com.

I have a different question?

You can reach us at support@seersco.com
For more FAQs, please visit Cookie Knowledge Bank and for any query, contact us.

Does Real Cookie Banner find all cookies on my website automatically?

A cookie scanner could, but it will simply find cookies and will not be able to assess whether the personal data is being used legally. Furthermore, finding all cookies is quite complex, and most “cookie scanners” do not find all of them.

When do I need a Cookie Notice?

Seers GDPR/CCPA Cookie Consent will automatically decide this based on the regulations of the region or sub-regions from which the majority of your visitors come.
In terms of the CCPA, you must always disclose which cookies you are using, but there is no obligation in asking for consent.

Does the Cookie Notice make my site fully compliant with GDPR?

No, technical compliance capabilities such as automatic script blocking, consent purpose categories, and consent record storage are not available in the plugin-only version. Only the Cookie Compliance integration gives you access to these features.

This plugin only provides a cookie banner. IT DOES NOT MAKE YOUR WEBSITE POPIA COMPLIANT, because the POPI Act has way more requirements! You should not be advertising this plugin as being a solution for POPIA, because it isn’t. POPIA requires much more than just adding a cookie banner. There is a whole list of requirements that this plugin does not satisfy!
agosto 29, 2022
It really helped a lot, As every website needs cookies for a user-friendly experience, So I think this is the best plugin I saw on the WordPress portal. Easy to use and better cookie management for any site.
agosto 16, 2022
It’s a plus that there are Accept and Reject buttons! It is incredibly simple to install, and you can choose the colors, padding, and font sizes. Now we are waiting to see the consent tracking dashboard.
agosto 11, 2022
Used this plugin and their Seers Dashboard. They’re providing so much ease in plugin and dashboard. It was a step by step guide to get compliant. Underrated plugin with high capabilities.
