Cookie Notice & Consent

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 · 98% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

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. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   Complete plugin. Works straight out of the box. Simple and effective and free. Some suggestions: Maybe have only one setting page for cookies and cookie setup, and name it Cookie notice or something more descriptive of the plugin. Saving button for tabs settings, saves only for that tab, maybe have a save all button. Thank you for this plug-in!

   Lieber Christoph, ich möchte dir aufrichtig für dein hervorragendes Plugin danken. “Cookie Notice & Consent” hat sich als äußerst nützlich erwiesen – es ist nicht überladen und tut genau das, was es soll. Besonders beeindruckend finde ich, dass dein Plugin Zustimmungsstatistiken bereitstellt, ohne dass dafür Kosten anfallen. Diese Funktion ist normalerweise schwer zu finden und kann oft sehr teuer werden. Hier hast du wirklich einen Mehrwert geschaffen! Die Tatsache, dass Skripte erst nach der Zustimmung des Benutzers für die entsprechenden Kategorien ausgegeben und ausgeführt werden, zeigt, wie gut durchdacht und datenschutzkonform dein Plugin ist. Es hilft mir, den Anforderungen der DSGVO gerecht zu werden. Ein Vorschlag zur Verbesserung wäre die Möglichkeit, auszuwählen, ob individuelle Skripte durch das Plugin im head oder body der Website eingebunden werden sollen. Dadurch könnten man die Ladezeiten weiter optimieren und Beispielsweise den GTM ordnungsgemäß verbauen. Insgesamt möchte ich dir für dein großartiges Plugin und deinen Beitrag zur WordPress-Community und Datenschutzkonformität danken. Ich bin begeistert von den Funktionen und Möglichkeiten, die “Cookie Notice & Consent” bietet, und werde es gerne weiterhin verwenden. Vielen Dank und weiter so!

   I am managing the website of my local photo club, a non-commercial, technically rather simple project. I have been using a different cookie banner plugin that has had severe security issues recently and now is completely down. Christoph’s plugin is a perfect substitution. I like the local data storage and the simplicity of usage. Its shortcodes let me handle the google maps and recaptcha usages on my page. Thanks!

   I do not know, what professional marketers want, but for users with standard marketing ambitions and data privacy in mind it is a very clean coded, well designed, clear structured and easy to understand plugin, that helps to implement tracking without any headaches. I tried so much tools with bloated extra functions, advertising spam in the backend and no sense for the right hierarchy in the admin sidebar menu. I love this plugin.

   It offers what many similar plugins give only for a fee: registration on the user preferences database. Good customization of options and integration is also possible thanks to shortcodes and functions.
