Simple Cookie Notice

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 · 69% 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.

At the current install trend, crossing 3K+ in roughly 155 days.

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.

   It does what you ask for, looks good on mobile and is easily customizable with css, best of all it doesn’t rely on jQuery.

   In the beginning the plugin worked although a bit tricky: the cookie notice didn’t always vanish after clicking “accept” or showed up again on the next page. Meanwhile the cookie notice doesn’t vanish at all. Thus deinstalled the plugin and looking for a better one.

   It’s a shame this plugin is no longer being updated, even though as of 5.8.2 it still works perfectly. By far the lightest, no bloatware cookie notification plugin. Free, won’t slow down your website, works exactly as it should. Very quick and easy to setup, it’s a truly hidden and underrated gem. Hopefully the author will not abandon it.
