Consent banner and privacy notice link for Indian businesses, powered by your nodd account.

== Description ==

nodd helps small businesses meet DPDP obligations: an itemised privacy notice, a consent banner and a record of every choice.

This plugin connects a WordPress or WooCommerce site to nodd:

* Adds the nodd consent banner to every page, before any tracker loads.
* Holds back Google Analytics, Meta Pixel, Hotjar, Microsoft Clarity and similar tags until the visitor agrees, and sends Google Consent Mode v2 signals.
* Points the site's privacy policy link (footer, registration, checkout privacy text) to your nodd Privacy Center.
* `[nodd_privacy_settings]` shortcode for a link that lets visitors change their choice.

This plugin is software, not legal advice.

== External services ==

This plugin is the WordPress side of the nodd service and does nothing until you enter a site key from your nodd account.

* On every front-end page, visitors' browsers load the banner script (`/w.js`) and its settings (business name and notice version) from your nodd address (default https://nodd.in). When a visitor makes a choice, the banner sends nodd a random visitor id, the notice version and the choices made. No name, email or IP address is stored by nodd.
* On the plugin's settings page, your server requests the same settings once to show whether the site key is connected. Only the site key is sent.
