Biggest opportunity: Swap “dsgvo” for “eu privacy directive”. “dsgvo” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #12. “eu privacy directive” sits at #4 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 →2.2%
of downloads still active
At least 300K of 13.6M lifetime downloads are still running, in line with 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 13 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.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ R. Kendlbacher4mo ago
Aggressiver kann man ein Plugin nicht bewerben. Kein Benefit, irgendwo ganz unten sind Funktionen. Und dann ist noch das Layout schlampig gemacht, so dass den Nutzer eine weiße Fläche in der Mitte begrüßt, der Hauptteil nach unten gerutscht ist. Doch in der Hauptsache wird man zum Kauf gedrängt. Man hat gar keine Chance zu ergründen, ob das Plugin Dienste und Funktionen bereitstellt. Mehr Nutzerunfreundlichkeit geht nicht. Überhaupt: Da scheint jemand mit gehörig Frust auf kostenlose Nutzung programmiert zu haben, dem der OpenSource-Gedanke vollkommen abgeht. This topic was modified 2 weeks, 1 day ago by R. Kendlbacher.

Simply the best plugin of this kind in the directory. I tested them all. Without a doubt, this one outperformed them in every way. Excellent diversity and flexibility of features. Fully multilingual. CSS and formatting tailored to each site’s colors. And as a final bonus, it has a setup to delay the banner loading, helping improve the overall website page loading speed. Perfect. A special thanks to the development team. Congratulations.
