Biggest opportunity: Swap “compliance”, “consent” and “gdpr” for “cpra”, “script” and “cookie compliance”. “compliance” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “cpra” sits at #12 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “consent” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “script” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “gdpr” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “cookie compliance” sits at #24 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →8.1%
of downloads still active
At least 10K of 123K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Privacy & Consent plugin keeps 2.2%, across 502 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Privacy & Consent plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 5 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

It works perfect with WP 6.7.2 version. Nice job. http://www.urracamagazine.com

No issues. Works great!

J’ai choisi depuis plusieurs années de recommander cookie script à mes clients et j’en suis satisfait. Le support est assez réactif. Le scanner, bien que parfois incomplet, fait gagner beaucoup de temps. La mise en place est super simple et le script peut être auto hébergé si besoin. — I’ve been recommending cookie script to my customers for several years now, and I’m very satisfied. Support is quite responsive. The scanner, although sometimes incomplete, saves a lot of time. Setup is super simple and the script can be self-hosted if required.

I installed the plugin, but later, I realized that I could install the script without it. When I tried to deactivate it, WordPress went into error mode. Eventually, I managed to deactivate it by renaming the plugins folder, but now it gives an error when trying to delete it. I would remove it manually, but I’m unsure if it will leave tables in the database. What a disaster.

The Plugin looks good and works fine, but you have to pay for it, if yout want the code running on your website. And you can’t deactivate it!!!
