Faro Legal: your site in order, with the legal texts and the cookie banner the law asks for

Legal notice, privacy policy and cookie policy written with your details and the Spanish law cited. A banner where accepting and rejecting cost the same, a record of every choice and the three links in the footer. No accounts, no cloud and nothing sent outside your site.

What it does, in one sentence

It writes the three documents with the details you enter once, shows the cookie banner the Spanish authority expects and stores in your own database the evidence of what every visitor chose.

The three texts, with the law cited: legal notice (article 10 LSSI-CE), privacy policy (articles 13 and 14 GDPR, LOPDGDD) and cookie policy (article 22.2 LSSI-CE and the AEPD criteria). They are written in the language of the site and update themselves when you change the details.
A banner with three decisions of the same size: accept all, reject all and configure. Nothing is pre-ticked and no analytics or marketing cookie is set before the visitor decides.
Changing your mind, always: a floating button on every page, a shortcode for the footer or the menu and a link inside the policy itself. Withdrawing consent costs the same as giving it.
The evidence, in your database: date, categories accepted, version of the texts, language, where the choice was made, hashed IP and browser. Searchable by date range, filterable by category, exportable to CSV.
El registro, en gráficas: cuántos aceptan analítica en un anillo, el reparto por categoría y los consentimientos de los últimos catorce días, para ver de un vistazo qué está eligiendo la gente.
The log, as charts: how many accept analytics in a ring, the split by category and the consents of the last fourteen days, to see at a glance what people are choosing.
Google Consent Mode v2: before any tag it sends “everything denied” and updates it when the visitor chooses, so Analytics and Ads do not set cookies early.
The legal links in the footer, dark or light and with your own text, plus the shortcode [faro_legal_enlaces] for themes with their own footer.
A five-step wizard that opens the first time and asks only what the law needs: owner, hosting, cookie categories, banner and footer. At the end it publishes the three pages.

What is inside

Its own menu in the WordPress dashboard with six screens and nothing else: just enough to leave the site in order and be able to prove it.

The overview

Documents published, consents recorded and the split between analytics, marketing and only necessary, with the date of the last choice.
Which documents are up to date and which are missing, without opening anything else.

The settings

Owner, tax ID, address, contact, activity and registration details: what article 10 requires.
Hosting and data protection contact, shown as a processor in the privacy policy.
Cookie categories, consent duration (3, 6, 12 or 24 months) and Consent Mode v2.
Banner, floating button and footer links, with their style and their text.

The documents

Status of the three pages: published, missing or created by someone else.
A button to create or update them right away, without waiting to save the settings.
Pages you delete are not recreated by force: your decision wins.

The consent log

Date range search, category filters, a result counter and pagination that keeps the filters.
One row per consent, with the version of the texts accepted and where it was made.
CSV export with twelve columns, UTF-8 with BOM, exporting exactly what is being filtered.
A notice when the 24-month retention deletes old rows: how many and when.

The wizard and the help page

Five steps with a progress bar, validation of the required fields and a summary before publishing.
A help page with the shortcodes, how to hold a script until consent and what the plugin does not do.

What it looks like

Screenshots of the plugin running on a real WordPress. The panel is in Spanish because that is the language of the test administrator; the English version is the same screen translated.

What it does not do, said before you install it.

It is not a lawyer: it writes drafts with your details and the law it cites, and the panel reminds you of that. It does not scan third-party cookies: you mark the scripts that must wait for consent, and if another plugin sets cookies on its own it has to be marked or removed. And it does not promise that the site is compliant: that depends on your activity, your forms and your providers.
