Biggest opportunity: Swap “consent mode”, “cookie banner” and “gdpr” for “erasure”, “compliance” and “privacy compliance”. “consent mode” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “erasure” sits at #8 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “cookie banner” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “compliance” sits at #14 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “gdpr” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “privacy compliance” sits at #14 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 →0.8%
of downloads still active
At least 4K of 478.3K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Privacy & Consent plugin keeps 2.1%, 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.

please add the save button

Hi I have installed and set up the plugin and so far everything is working ok. The cookies window shows up ok on the homepage, and after I click to agree the cookies button, the cookies window is closing. Now the problem with this plugin is that every time when I open a new page on the site, the cookies window opens and asking to accept cookies. It should open once when you enter the homepage of the site and not on any webpage again and again. Is there a fix to it as otherwise it cannot be used as it is now?

I dont know if its a joke or its just to trick us into buying the pro version but the developer really made the plugin without a save button 😂 Would be a great plugin but its no use. This topic was modified 6 years ago by yourypro. This topic was modified 6 years ago by yourypro.

What kind of developer makes a plugin and “forgets” to add a button to “save” the settings?
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Robert Stevens6.9y ago
Can’t save any settings as there is no save button, this makes this plugin useless.
