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
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

What its installed base runs
via wordpress.orgShare of active installs on each version of this plugin · 88% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.
Estimated active installs

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. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

Simple and blocks correct cookies. My recommendation!

Con questo plugin – che tecnicamente funziona molto bene – sono in grado di dare facilmente un aspetto professionale con un design unico ai siti che realizzo.

Uno dei migliori plugin in circolazione. Per la perfezione mancano solo alcuni elementi che sono certo lo renderebbero il migliore in assoluto. Il pulsante di chiusura (la famosa X che il legislatore Italiano ha voluto imporre) e la gestione singola dei cookie. Un grande grazie allo sviluppatore che lo rende disponibile e che ha condiviso questo bellissimo lavoro. This topic was modified 4 years, 4 months ago by lukiluke.

Finalmente un plugin che fa solo quello che serve senza influire negativamente sul SEO con la parola cookie ripetuta all’infinito.

Unfortunately this plugin is not compliant with the current GDPR which needs a differentiated cookie consent collection.

Plugin fantastico

I really like this plugin. Could you possibly update it to reload the page when the user enables cookies? I have some code that is only included dependant on if ( function_exists(‘NMod\SmartCookieKit\can_unlock_statistics_cookies’) && NMod\SmartCookieKit\can_unlock_statistics_cookies() ) Thanks Ceri
