Keep Your Complianz Consent Setup, Offload the Media Around It
Complianz handles consent, not media, so your banner, cookie policy, and embed blocker stay Complianz settings. Infinite Uploads offloads the images and videos on your pages to cloud storage and a global CDN. Complianz keeps its own small working files in a separate folder of your uploads directory.

Complianz and Infinite Uploads: Consent on One Side, Media on the Other
Complianz is a consent platform. It shows the cookie banner, scans for cookies, generates your cookie policy, and blocks third-party content like YouTube and Vimeo iframes until a visitor agrees. It is not a media plugin, so your photos, product shots, and videos sit in the Media Library as usual.
That is where Infinite Uploads fits. It offloads the Media Library to cloud storage and serves it from a global CDN, with AVIF and WebP Image Optimization on the Business plan. Your hosting stays small, pages stay fast, and you do not reconfigure Complianz to get there.
Video is the one place the two meet. Complianz holds YouTube and Vimeo embeds behind a placeholder until consent. A video you upload to the Media Library plays from the CDN with no third-party video platform embed to block. Video Cloud, included on every plan, adds the Video Library route with a customizable player.
Four Things Infinite Uploads Does for a Complianz Site
Most offload plugins move files and stop. These are the parts that matter when your site also runs a consent layer.
Self-Hosted Video With No Platform Embed to Block
Embeds from YouTube and Vimeo wait behind Complianz's placeholder until a visitor consents. An MP4 in your Media Library is a file on your own site, served from the CDN as-is, so there is no third-party video platform embed for the content blocker to hold back.
Complianz Files Stay Small and Separate
Complianz writes banner CSS, placeholder thumbnails, and PDF proof-of-consent snapshots into its own uploads folder. They are working files, not Media Library items, and tiny next to your photos and video. The weight on your server is the media, and that is what Infinite Uploads moves.
Pages That Stay Light Beside the Banner
A consent banner adds its own script and stylesheet to every page. Heavy images should not add to that. Image Optimization, on the Business plan, serves right-sized AVIF and WebP from the CDN, so pages stay light while Complianz does its job.
One Media Library, Organized, Across Every Site
Media Folders, search, and sort keep a growing library tidy, whether it is one site or a Complianz Premium multisite network. Unlimited sites share one account and one invoice, and Download & Disconnect returns files to local disk if you ever want them there.
Why Sites Pair Complianz With Infinite Uploads
One Bill, No Video Platform Fee
Cloud storage, a global CDN, and Video Cloud on one monthly price. Host your own video instead of paying a platform, and skip the emergency hosting upgrade when a media-heavy site outgrows its server.
Add It Without Touching Complianz
Connect Infinite Uploads and sync. Your existing media moves to the cloud and URLs rewrite to the CDN. You do not rebuild your banner or cookie policy, and Download & Disconnect copies files back to local disk when you want them there.
Every Client Site on One Account
Agencies that deploy Complianz on every client site connect them all to one Infinite Uploads account. Unlimited sites, one dashboard, and no cloud credentials to hand over when a client changes hands.
What Works, Feature by Feature
Feature
What you get
Cookie banner and consent settings
Banner layout, consent per category, and region rules are Complianz settings. Infinite Uploads only handles media files, so none of them change.
Works
Cookie policy and legal documents
Complianz generates your documents from the wizard as WordPress pages. They are text, not media, so there is nothing for Infinite Uploads to move.
Works
Blocked YouTube and Vimeo embeds
Complianz holds these iframes behind a placeholder until consent. Infinite Uploads does not change embedded videos, so they behave as they did before.
Works
Video from the Media Library
An MP4 offloads to cloud storage and plays from the CDN as-is, untranscoded. It is a file on your own site, not an embed from a video platform.
Works
Video on Video Cloud
Upload to the Infinite Uploads Video Library and embed with the Infinite Uploads block or shortcode. Adaptive streaming in the customizable player, included on every plan.
Works, Video Cloud
Images and Image Optimization
Photos in posts, pages, and shop galleries offload, then serve from the CDN as AVIF and WebP with Image Optimization, on the Business plan.
Works
WordPress Multisite networks
Complianz Premium supports multisite networks. Infinite Uploads supports WordPress Multisite too, and every subsite offloads to the same account.
Works
Geolocation database
Infinite Uploads includes a built-in Complianz fix. It downloads the GeoLite2 database into uploads/complianz/maxmind on local disk when you open wp-admin.
Works
Banner CSS, proof-of-consent PDFs, and exports
Complianz writes these into its own uploads/complianz folder. After connecting, save your banner once, then test a proof-of-consent snapshot and a data request export.

Up and Running in Three Steps
1. Connect Infinite Uploads
Install the plugin, connect your account, and sync. Your existing Media Library moves to the cloud. Complianz and its settings stay as you configured them.
2. Check Your Banner and Embeds
Save your banner once in Complianz, then load a front-end page. Confirm the banner appears and any YouTube or Vimeo embed still sits behind the Complianz placeholder.
3. Free Up Local Storage
Once the sync completes, remove the local copies from Infinite Uploads settings. Your hosting plan gets its space back and your media keeps serving from the CDN.
Good to Know Before You Switch
Complianz keeps its working files in uploads/complianz, apart from your media. That folder holds banner CSS, thumbnails for blocked embeds, PDF snapshots, and data request exports. After you connect, test each once. To keep the folder on local disk, add it under Infinite Uploads > Settings > Folder Exclusions.
Self-hosted video and consent are separate questions. Complianz blocks embeds from services like YouTube and Vimeo until a visitor agrees. Your Media Library videos have no such embed to block. This page makes no consent claim for any player. Run Complianz's scan and ask your legal advisor what your setup needs.
Rescan with Complianz after you connect. Its scan shows what your pages actually load, so run it once Infinite Uploads is active and after large changes. Complianz Premium supports multisite networks, and Infinite Uploads supports WordPress Multisite. Check the pricing calculator to size your storage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Complianz still block YouTube and Vimeo embeds?
Yes. Infinite Uploads rewrites your own media URLs, not iframe sources from YouTube or Vimeo. Those embeds still sit behind the Complianz placeholder until a visitor consents.
Does Complianz block a video in my Media Library?
Complianz's built-in blocking covers third-party services like YouTube and Vimeo. A video file in your Media Library is not an embed from those platforms and plays from the CDN. Ask your legal advisor what your setup needs.
Does Video Cloud need consent?
This page makes no consent claim for the player. Run a Complianz scan on a page that uses it and decide with your legal advisor. Video Cloud is the Video Library route, with adaptive streaming, included on every plan.
Where does Complianz store its files?
In uploads/complianz: banner CSS in css, blocked-embed thumbnails in placeholders, and PDF snapshots in snapshots. Data request exports land there too. They are working files, not Media Library items.
Do my cookie policy and legal documents move to the cloud?
No. Complianz generates them as WordPress pages from your wizard answers, so they live in your database. Infinite Uploads only handles media files in your uploads folder.
What if my banner looks unstyled after connecting?
Complianz generates its banner CSS when you save banner settings. Save the banner once, clear your caching plugin, and reload a front-end page. If it stays unstyled, contact Infinite Uploads support.
Does this work on a Complianz multisite network?
Yes. Complianz Premium supports multisite networks, and Infinite Uploads supports WordPress Multisite at every plan level. Every subsite offloads to the same account, sharing one storage pool and one invoice.
What if a video is bigger than my upload limit?
Add our free Big File Uploads plugin. It lifts the WordPress upload limit without server changes, so large files upload normally and Infinite Uploads delivers them.
