Configuration Overview

This article is for connected users (Free and Professional plans). Configuration in Compliance by Hu-manity.co is split across two interfaces: the WordPress admin plugin panel and the Admin Portal at app.hu-manity.co. Each interface exposes different controls. This article covers both.

WordPress Admin: 3-Tab Layout

Once your site is connected, the WordPress admin at WP Admin → Compliance shows three tabs. The Protection tab is the default landing page.

Protection Tab (default)

Your compliance dashboard — shows your consent setup health at a glance and provides inline wizards for first-run configuration.

Dashboard Header

A title bar reading “Your Compliance Dashboard” with a dynamic subtitle that highlights the most important action needed:

• If no regulations are selected: “No regulations selected — add laws to activate consent enforcement”
• If autoblocking is disabled: “Autoblocking disabled — trackers may load before consent”
• If uncategorized trackers exist: “X uncategorized trackers need review”
• If everything is configured: “All protections active — trackers blocked, consent recorded”

Professional plan users also see a Pro badge next to the subtitle.

First-Run Setup Wizard

After connecting your site for the first time, a 3-step inline wizard appears at the top of the Protection tab:

1. Template — pick a banner style from the available presets
2. Laws — select which privacy regulations apply to your site (GDPR, CCPA, LGPD, PIPEDA, POPIA, etc.)
3. Languages — add additional banner languages

You can skip any step and return later. Once you click Apply & Finish, the wizard is dismissed and the Status Cards appear. A connected notice above the wizard also reports how many trackers were detected on your site.

Status Cards

Three summary cards showing your current configuration at a glance:

1. Banner — shows the active template name with a thumbnail preview, position and display type (e.g., “Bottom · Fixed bar”). Actions: Change template, Edit colors & text (opens portal), Preview (opens site with ?cn_preview=1).
2. Laws & Languages — count of active regulations with flag-emoji pills (e.g., “🇪🇺 GDPR”, “🇺🇸 CCPA”) and language count. Actions: Edit laws (opens inline law selector), Manage Languages (opens portal).
3. Trackers & Consent Modes — tracker count with categorization status, plus pills showing active consent modes (e.g., “Google”, “GPC”). Shows an amber warning if autoblocking is off or uncategorized trackers are firing without consent. Actions: Consent modes (opens inline panel), View Trackers (opens Tracker Status panel), Manage in portal (opens portal Autoblocking page).

Tracker Status Panel

Replaces the Status Cards when opened (click View Trackers on Card 3). A read-only view of all detected script providers on your site, grouped by purpose category:

• Basic Operations — essential scripts (always allowed)
• Content Personalization
• Site Optimization
• Ad Personalization
• Uncategorized — scripts firing without consent (shown with a red “Firing without consent” badge)

Click Refresh to re-sync the tracker list from the portal. To add, edit, or recategorize providers, click Manage trackers in portal to open the portal’s Autoblocking page.

Consent Protection Settings panel

Opens inline when you click Consent modes on Status Card 3. Toggle consent mode integrations. The panel has two sections: Platform Integrations (Google, Facebook, Microsoft) and Browser Signals (GPC, Do Not Track).

Pro-only modes (Facebook, Microsoft) show a Pro badge on the Free plan. Click the badge to open the in-app upgrade modal.

Inline Notices

Contextual notices appear between the header and content when relevant:

• “Your banner is live” (green) — appears once after completing setup, with a link to preview your live banner
• “Still missing: ...” (blue) — lists items that still need attention (e.g., banner template, laws, uncategorized trackers)
• “Google tools detected” (yellow) — appears when Google scripts are found but Google Consent Mode is not yet enabled

Threat Intelligence

At the bottom of the Protection tab. Shows security and compliance alerts based on detected threats — for example, a warning if Google Ads scripts are found without Google Consent Mode enabled.

Settings Tab

For connected users, the Settings tab has three main areas: Status Cards (same 3 cards from the Protection tab), Compliance Behavior (law-aware settings cards), and WordPress Settings (plugin-level options).

Status Cards

The same 3-card grid from the Protection tab (Banner, Laws & Languages, Trackers & Consent Modes) also appears at the top of the Settings tab so you can change templates, laws, and consent modes without switching tabs. The Trackers card on this tab reacts live to autoblocking toggle changes in Compliance Behavior below.

Compliance Behavior

A grid of setting cards that adapts based on the laws you’ve selected. Each card shows its current value, a color-coded compliance status dot (green = compliant, yellow = warning, red = critical), and which laws require it.

The 9 compliance settings:

Settings managed in the portal show a Manage in web app → link that opens the portal in a new tab with your authentication pre-loaded.

Portal-only settings (read-only in WP admin): UI Blocking (Cookie wall), Accept on Close, and GPC Support Mode appear as informational cards in the WP admin Compliance Behavior section but cannot be edited there. Each card displays its current value and a Manage in web app link that opens the corresponding portal page. To change these values, click through to the portal at app.hu-manity.co → Configuration → Consent.

WordPress Settings (Plugin Options)

Below Compliance Behavior, the following accordion sections are available for connected users:

• Privacy Policy — enable a privacy policy link in the banner. Choose between a WordPress page or a custom URL. Optionally sync with the WordPress Privacy Page setting.
• Custom Scripts — add JavaScript to the page head or body that executes based on consent state (toggle between Head and Body tabs).
• Display & Animation — banner opacity slider (50–100%) and a custom CSS class field for the accept button.
• Technical Settings — bot detection (on by default), AMP support, caching compatibility (on by default), debug mode, excluded script handles (one WP handle per line, never autoblocked), conditional display rule builder (show/hide banner on specific pages, post types, taxonomies, or user types), delete data on deactivation, and a Purge Cache button to force re-fetch from the portal.
