Biggest opportunity: Swap “cookie notice” for “consent”. “cookie notice” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #16. “consent” sits at #4 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

1.3%

of downloads still active

At least 9K of 692.5K lifetime downloads are still running, below 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 40 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.
