Beautiful Cookie Consent Banner

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 71% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price.

   Great cookie banner, with a ton of options. The service of the developer is great, too. Could get a bit overwhelming with all the settings. But once you got the hang of it, it is great. What I appreciate most is the absence of spammy WordPress admin notifications, something far too common with other plugins.

   We used to have a very complicated consent banner, with many, many settings, and a help page with many, many explanations. Too time consuming. Then, while almost panicking, I found this perfect Cookie Consent Banner. It works.

   I have been using the premium plugin for a while, on several websites and it works great. A very important function that I was missing is a notification to the website visitor that some content has been blocked due to privacy settings. A month ago I voted for that functionality (the author has a board for voting which functionality you want to implement as a priority). I did not expect such a quick reaction from the author. Congratulations on your work, effort and dedication!

   This plugin deserves 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I can highly recommend it to others who need a beautiful cookie consent plugin 😁 It’s very customisable and easy to use, once you get the hang of how it works, which isn’t hard, because each field is explained in all the detail you need 🤓 It’s also very backward compatible, which we appreciate since we’re in the progress of upgrading a very old WordPress-installation, and the sooner we can activate a fully updated plugin, the faster we can achieve all the things we want with the webshop and get better sales and performance! Unlike some Controlpanel-noisy plugins, this one quietly sits in the background waiting with all its messages and encouragement to use it until you actually open it. It also doesn’t think itself so important that it has to chisel itself into the Control panel but places itself into the WordPress settings menu. Thank YOU!
