Show Me The Cookies

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 5% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

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.

   Thank you very much for this clean and very useful plugin! It helps me a lot. It proves that simplicity is king! I suggest a little improvement to author: when there is no cookies to show, the plugin should return a string like “no cookies to show”. Good work!

   If you need to know which cookies are created by your WP website (because you need to set up a GDPR-compliant cookie banner, for example), then this plugin comes in handy. However, in the current version it does not display the information which component/script creates a specific cookies, which would be crucial in certain situations.

   Simple to install, clear list of functional cookies on my site (which is hard to track using the inspect function on browsers because some come and go as pages load up) This plugin really helped me to nail down my cookie control and opt-in settings on my site. Thank you!
