## What it is
CookieConsent is a lightweight, GDPR and CCPA compliant cookie consent management plugin written in vanilla JavaScript with no dependencies. It provides a customizable consent modal and preferences modal that block scripts until explicit user consent is given.

## Use cases
- add a GDPR-compliant cookie consent banner to my website
- block analytics and marketing scripts until users opt in
- let visitors manage cookie preferences by category
- make my site CCPA compliant without heavy libraries
- add a cookie consent modal to a React or Vue app
- support multi-language cookie consent notices
- implement Google Consent Mode requirements on my site

## When to choose
- you need a dependency-free, lightweight consent solution for any website or framework
- you want GDPR/CCPA compliance with script blocking and granular category controls
- you need multi-language support and accessibility (a11y) out of the box
- you want extensive theming and layout customization options

## When to avoid
- you need a full consent management platform with server-side consent logging and cross-domain sync
- you require built-in integration with specific ad networks or tag managers
- you need a React/Vue-native component rather than a vanilla JS plugin

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin

- domain: web-development, frontend, privacy, legal
