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.
Release cadence
Actively maintainedHow 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
Est. acquisition value
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 small install base leaves thin data to model from. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

Installed, tested and validated. Works like a charm. I use it with Google Tag Manager – just pasted in the Google-supported small scripts in the page headers, installed this plugin, and things work. My first use is with a site built with Bricks Builder. I have put the shortcode ‘mdcc_manage_consent’ in a Bricks off-canvas which slides in when activating a small trigger icon at the bottom of the page. A trigger icon is not automatically provided by this plugin, but can very easily be fixed this way if you want to allow visitors to revisit their consent settings. I have had a few support questions, and replies and fixes are immediate and perfect. Bravo!
