CookieYes – Cookie Banner for Cookie Consent (Easy to setup GDPR/CCPA Compliant Cookie Notice)

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 · 49% 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.

Reviewers say setup is quick and the plugin does what it promises, with a few crediting its light performance footprint.

   ¡Un plugin imprescindible! He migrado desde Complianz y la diferencia en rendimiento es notable. Al ser una herramienta basada en la nube (SaaS), toda la carga de escaneo y registro de consentimientos ocurre fuera del servidor, evitando consultas pesadas a la base de datos de WordPress y manteniendo la web optimizada. El plan gratuito es súper generoso y cubre perfectamente la LGPD/RGPD. Además, me ha sorprendido lo fácil que es implementar funciones avanzadas como el bloqueo automático de scripts de terceros y la compatibilidad nativa con Google Consent Mode v2. La interfaz externa es muy limpia y su configuración paso a paso ahorra horas de trabajo. ¡Felicidades al equipo de desarrollo por un producto tan equilibrado!

   Simple, reliable, and easy to configure. The plugin works very well and does exactly what I needed for cookie consent on my WordPress site. Highly recommended.

   I put CookieYes in place a few years ago and have had no issues. My site is non-commercial so my requirements are minimal.

   This is, by far, one of the easiest opt-out plugins that there is. Actually, it’s not an opt-in plugin. It’s an opt-out plugin, and that’s the problem. It puts up a banner telling people that you use cookies, and the only link it gives them at the bottom is to opt out. To me, that sounds like 100% of my visitors are going to opt out. There’s no “accept” or “deny”, just one opt-out button, so I won’t be using this one.
