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

Estimated value

What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.

Est. annual revenue

N/A

Est. acquisition value

N/A

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 declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

    Just installed it, works great as I had issues with other cookie plugins conflicting with other plugins and WP scripts. Even free version has several important customisation options. Unlimited traffic and pageviews. Considering buying paid version.

    Good stuff. Simple perfect and no one trying to oversell you anything. Freemium works perfectly for beginners. Support the premium if you run a business. We use these plugins on all our web hosting servers as part of our web hosting packages. Perfect. No complaints. Simple to use. Thanks and greetings from South Africa

    I just wanted a cookie bar for my simple little website. After trying three that were over-complicated or didn’t seem to work, I found CookieAdmin. Installed it. Activated it. Done! Yay.
