Features
Server-side blocking
Blocks external scripts, stylesheets, and common inline initializers before optional services can load.
Pattern-based control
Control third-party services, using simple URL fragments per category
Quick-add preset library
One click controls for common tools like Google Analytics, GTM, Meta Pixel, Hotjar, Clarity, Google Fonts, YouTube, reCAPTCHA, and more
Site scanner
Super Users can detect external scripts and stylesheets and add matching block patterns faster
Banner or full-screen
Two types of UI with customizable text, theme, position, colors, and floating settings button. Modal one is blocking and requires decision from users.

Google Consent Mode v2
Google Consent Mode v2 defaults set to denied, with instant updates when visitors accept, customize, or revoke consent.
Microsoft Clarity
Microsoft Clarity consent support for synchronized analytics consent behavior.
Revoke flow
It clears optional cookies, resets consent signals, and lets visitors change their choices at any time.
Audit trail
Optional anonymized audit trail with masked IP storage, CSV export, and configurable retention controls.
First-party consent cookie
Consent cookie with minimal stored data: version, timestamp, token, and selected categories.
CSP-friendly unblocking
Unblocking that preserves attributes such as nonce, integrity, type, and module settings.
Developer hooks
Developer hooks for consent given and revoked events, so other Joomla extensions can react cleanly.
TCF v2 stub
Optional minimal TCF v2 stub for basic ad platform compatibility.
Description
NexusConsent adds lightweight, GDPR-ready consent controls to Joomla. It blocks optional services until visitors opt in, keeps a minimal consent log, and provides an accessible consent UI.
Legal Disclaimer
NexusConsent is a technical tool designed tao assist website owners with cookie and consent management. It is not a legal service and its use does not, by itself, guarantee compliance with any privacy regulation.
- No legal advice. Nothing in this plugin or its documentation constitutes legal advice. Privacy laws — including the GDPR, ePrivacy Directive, CCPA/CPRA, LGPD, POPIA and others — vary by jurisdiction, are subject to change, and may impose requirements beyond what any technical tool can address.
- Configuration is your responsibility. The site owner is responsible for correctly configuring consent categories, block patterns, banner text, and privacy policy references to reflect the actual data processing activities on their site.
- TCF stub limitations. The optional TCF v2 stub is not an IAB-registered Consent Management Platform. It does not generate valid TC Strings and should not be relied upon where full TCF compliance is required.
- Consult qualified legal counsel. We strongly recommend seeking professional legal advice to ensure your consent implementation meets the specific requirements applicable to your site, audience, and jurisdiction.

Frequently asked questions
Does it actually block scripts before consent, or just hide a banner?
It performs genuine server-side blocking: scripts, styles, and iframes stay blocked until opt-in, and it preserves CSP nonces and integrity attributes even under a strict Content Security Policy.
Does it support Google Consent Mode v2?
Yes, defaults are denied, choices push instant updates, it is GTM-compatible, and the revoke path explicitly denies all four Consent Mode keys before reload.
Does it make my Joomla site GDPR compliant?
It is a technical tool that assists with cookie and consent management, not a legal service. Correct configuration and legal sign-off remain the site owner's responsibility.
Does it include a cookie or site scanner?
Yes, a Super-Admin, server-side scanner detects external scripts, styles, and iframes on your pages and suggests a category when a known service matches.
Is it free, and which Joomla versions?
Yes, it is free and supports Joomla 5 and 6.
