This plugin connects to [CookieTrust.io](https://cookietrust.io) to provide cookie consent management functionality.

**When you connect your site:**

* Your WordPress site URL is sent to CookieTrust.io to configure the consent widget
* An OAuth token is stored locally to authenticate API requests
* The consent widget JavaScript is loaded from `cmp.cookietrust.io`

**Data processed by CookieTrust.io:**

* Visitor consent preferences (accept/reject choices)

**Connection is opt-in:** No data is sent to external services until you explicitly connect your site via the "Connect to CookieTrust" button in the plugin settings.
