Cookie consent for OceanWP

widgets call out early

OceanWP loads Google Fonts by default once you choose one, and the widgets of Ocean Extra contact other sites as the page loads. Videos, Facebook and X widgets are what the visitor’s choice has to cover. Cookie Rocks holds known trackers until the visitor agrees.

What matters for consent with OceanWP

Google Fonts on by default

A Google font chosen in OceanWP loads from Google’s servers. With Ocean Extra, “Enable Local Google Fonts” copies them to your site. It is off by default: switch it on, and do the same for Elementor fonts if you use Elementor. See Fonts.

Widgets that load on arrival

Ocean Extra’s Video widget writes a YouTube or Vimeo player into the page. Its Facebook widget loads Facebook, its Twitter widget loads X, and its Flickr widget calls Flickr, all on page load.

Adobe Fonts on every page

An Adobe Fonts project ID in OceanWP loads Adobe Fonts on every page.

One small cookie

OceanWP’s own cookie is set only when a visitor clicks the shop’s grid or list switch. The theme sends no consent signal.

What our tests found on OceanWP

Good to know · Cookie RocksThe audit names the local fonts setting of your theme
When the home page loads Google Fonts, the Cookie Rocks 2.9.5 audit names the setting of the active theme or plugin that serves them from the site: Elementor, WP Rocket, Spectra, Kadence Blocks, OMGF, Local Google Fonts, Astra, Kadence, OceanWP or Neve. Otherwise it suggests a plugin such as OMGF. Divi, Bricks, Oxygen and Beaver Builder have no such setting. With Cookie Rocks Pro, it points to « Serve Google Fonts from this site » instead.

Depends on a setting · OceanWPOceanWP loads Google Fonts from Google by default
setting “Enable Google Fonts” · by default: on
Enable Google Fonts is on by default on a new install. Enable Local Google Fonts (needs Ocean Extra, off by default) serves them from the site. Neither plugin has WP Consent API or Google tag code.

OceanWP 4.2.7 loads a chosen Google font from fonts.googleapis.com because Enable Google Fonts is on by default on a new install; Enable Local Google Fonts (needs Ocean Extra, off by default) has the server download them from fonts.gstatic.com on the first request and serve them from wp-content/uploads. Apply on Elementor (off) does the same for Elementor fonts. Neither OceanWP nor Ocean Extra has WP Consent API or gtag code, and neither moves iframe src.

How we test it

Around each version, with its latest release

Around each Cookie Rocks version, a fresh WordPress installs its latest version from WordPress.org next to Cookie Rocks and runs the same checks. A new version joins the next run on its own.
