How Klarvo AI Transparency standalone mode works — zero external requests, zero cookies, fully GDPR-safe transparency compliance.

How standalone mode works

In standalone mode, Klarvo AI Transparency runs entirely within your WordPress installation. It makes zero external HTTP requests — no data leaves your server, no cookies are set, and no third-party scripts are loaded.

The plugin:

  • Reads your active plugin list from WordPress
  • Compares each plugin against the built-in registry (stored locally in the plugin files)
  • If matches are found, generates an inline HTML/CSS/JS badge (~2KB) on the frontend
  • The badge lists detected AI tools with their categories and relevant EU AI Act article references
  • What visitors see

    A small badge appears in the corner of your site (configurable position). Visitors can click/tap to expand it and see:

  • Which AI tools are active on the site
  • What category each tool falls into (e.g., "Interaction", "Analytics", "Content")
  • The relevant EU AI Act articles (e.g., "Article 50(1)", "Article 50(2)")
  • GDPR and privacy

    Standalone mode is fully GDPR-compliant by design:

  • No cookies set
  • No visitor data collected
  • No external requests
  • No tracking of any kind
  • Badge content is generated server-side and cached
  • Configuring standalone mode

    In WordPress admin → Settings → Klarvo AI Transparency:

  • Position: Bottom-right (default), bottom-left, top-right, or top-left
  • Colour: 8 presets available (blue, green, purple, red, orange, teal, slate, rose)
  • Enable/disable: Toggle the badge on/off without deactivating the plugin
