Update activity

How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.

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.

    Hello, Thank you for making this plugin and enabling WP websites better relations with a legal regulation and customers as well. I agree there are several possible issues and found that it is necessary to exclude gdpr-public.js and gdpr-public.css from scripts optimizations, disable security cookie scan/sanitization and so, the plugin will work. Tested with WP 4.99

    The cookie consent banner’s OK button does not work some times.

    We use this plugin as standard now on all WP websites we develop at Opace. Before the GDPR legislation came into force, I searched long and hard for a solution that would provide all of the necessary compliance measures and tested various plugins. Some provided part solutions and others simply failed to work. Finding one that provided a full cookie compliance and consent management solution was difficult. There are a lot of options and features available with this plugin, but it’s one that I would highly recommend for any website owner.

    I don’t understand why this plugin is having sooo many updates, like sometimes every day. My Wordfence is keeping on giving me email alerts (because that is what it does) on every single plugin update and this plugin is one of the highest, for updates (sometimes every single day). Imagine if you have many sites, then all of them having Wordfence keeps on “spamming” you with alerts. And usually, it is this plugin (and a few others). Why don’t you just update several iterations in the background, and then only put out the plugin for update on the WordPress platform. Instead of every single little change, followed by immediate upload :-/ Don’t get me wrong. Updating is good, like rain upon the earth, but too many updates is like too much rain every day, leading to a flood.

    This plugin helps you out patching up the GDPR compliance functionality missing in Word Press for free! To use it first you need to understand the GDPR consumer rights. Many thanks to the developer for his great work!

    Working fine for a while, then was having issues with Security Token after accepting the privacy policy. Lost a lot of business and need to move on to another solution.
