About this plugin

KOZ Consent Manager is an independently installable WordPress plugin built for practical production use. It keeps its main workflow local and under administrator control instead of requiring a paid suite core, hidden telemetry or a custom update service.

The plugin was originally developed for the UA FREE charitable foundation. The foundation website became the first production and testing environment and continues to use the plugin. The public KOZ edition preserves that operational experience while separating the software brand and ownership from the foundation.

The plugin is developed, owned and maintained by Tony Kozyriev (ramirkz). UA FREE does not own the plugin or its source code. Support for the developer and charitable donations to the foundation are presented as separate optional destinations.

Part of the KOZ Suite

KOZ Consent Manager is one focused module of the broader KOZ Suite, a family of independent WordPress plugins that share a common KOZ administration experience and visual identity.

Each KOZ plugin remains independently installable, so site owners can use only the modules they need or combine several modules into one toolkit.

Current public KOZ plugins:

  • KOZ SEO Core — technical SEO, schema, sitemaps, AI discovery and OpenAI Vision image ALT.
  • KOZ Copy Actions — accessible copy-to-clipboard actions for selected WordPress content.
  • KOZ URL-Only Comment Spam — privacy-first local moderation for URL-only comment spam.
  • KOZ Static Translate — AI-powered multilingual translation with Microsoft Azure AI Translator and static language routes.
  • KOZ Translate Diagnostics — read-only health checks and privacy-safe diagnostic reports for KOZ Static Translate.
  • KOZ 404 Guard & URL Intelligence — privacy-safe 404/410 diagnostics, controlled same-site redirects and URL intelligence.
  • KOZ Consent Manager — privacy-first visitor consent, optional script control and Google Consent Mode v2 synchronization.
  • KOZ Donate Stats & Conversions — local donation-journey analytics and consent-aware conversion events for WordPress.
  • KOZ Site Bridge — secure read-only WordPress diagnostics, controlled same-site probes and authenticated REST automation.

Privacy

The plugin sends no telemetry, has no remote configuration and does not bundle analytics or advertising services. Consent records are optional and off by default; they never contain IP addresses or User-Agent values.
