Just released a brand-new plugin: Advanced Cookie & Consent Manager for Moodle!

Managing cookie consent in Moodle should not require custom hacks, risky scripts, and legal guesswork.

That is exactly why we built Advanced Cookie Manager: a modern, admin-friendly plugin for Moodle that gives institutions a clear, practical way to run consent management at scale.

Why this plugin exists

Most cookie banners are either too simple to be compliant, or too complex to manage in real-world LMS environments. Moodle sites have unique needs:

• third-party embeds in courses,
• analytics and marketing scripts,
• multilingual users,
• strict audit expectations.

Advanced Cookie Manager was designed specifically for that reality.

What makes it different

1) Consent-first loading

Optional categories are blocked until consent is granted.
No “load now, ask later” behavior.

2) Real choice on first layer

Users get clear actions like Accept all and Reject all with equal visibility.

3) Granular categories

Consent can be managed by category:

• Necessary
• Preferences
• Analytics
• Marketing
• External Media

4) Easy withdrawal

Users can come back and change their decision at any time via floating cookie settings.

5) Built-in compliance reporting

Admins get a dedicated report page with:

• readiness checks,
• consent evidence counters,
• framework-oriented visibility.

6) Cookie Scanner (admin helper)

A practical manual scanner helps detect:

• cookies,
• scripts/resources/iframes,
• unknown items,
• suggested categories and vendors.

7) Privacy operations ready

Consent evidence is logged for audit purposes, with retention controls and cleanup tasks.

8) Moodle-native architecture

Built as a proper local plugin, integrated with Moodle APIs and designed to work with different themes.

Designed for growth

Advanced Cookie Manager already includes a modular foundation for premium expansion (including TCF-oriented architecture and advanced scanner workflows), so you are not locked into a dead-end setup.

Who is it for?

• Universities and schools running Moodle at scale
• Training organizations handling regulated data
• Moodle admins who want predictable, maintainable privacy operations
• Teams that need practical controls now, without overengineering

Final note

No plugin can replace legal advice, but a good plugin can give you the technical controls and evidence model you need to operate responsibly.

If you want a consent manager built for Moodle reality, not generic CMS assumptions, Advanced Cookie Manager is built for you.
