Biggest opportunity: Swap “cookie consent”, “gdpr” and “consent mode” for “consent management”, “rgpd” and “consent mode v2”. “cookie consent” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “consent management” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “gdpr” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “rgpd” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “consent mode” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “consent mode v2” sits at #17 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →3.8%
of downloads still active
At least 10K of 265.6K lifetime downloads are still running, above 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.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

What to do about it
- Swap “cookie consent”, “gdpr” and “consent mode” for “consent management”, “rgpd” and “consent mode v2”. “cookie consent” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “consent management” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “gdpr” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “rgpd” sits at #11 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “consent mode” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “consent mode v2” sits at #17 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “cmp”. #13 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- One page off on “cookie banner”. #16 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Très bon petit plug-in qui rencontre un succès mérité 🙂 Un bémol cependant, les fichiers ne sont pas minimisés (JS)Exemple les appels de celui-ci : tarteaucitron.io/load.js?locale=fr&iswordpress=true&domain=… Il faudrait minimiser pour des questions de performance et ainsi éviter les retours d’alerte sur des logiciels type sem-rush ou autre google search console 🙂

Je l’utilise sur plusieurs sites et tout fonctionne correctement malgré des thèmes et des services différents.Le développeur est toujours très réactif . BRAVO !

Amauri did a great job with this plugin, that is easy to use and implement. It don’t block regular user with intrunsive ads and don’t make you lose time to “test” if it works for you as other many simimar plugins do. If you can affort it, this deserve the Pro version even if you don’t need it, just because the author deserve it. Thanks and long life to this plugin.

Un plugin simple d’installation et personnalisable facilement. J’avoue bien aimé ce petit picto citronné en comparaison aux tartines bien moches qu’on peut trouver ailleurs. Un dév sympa qui n’a pas le melon 😉 Vive le citron !

Après des tests un peu poussés, le top pour ceux qui acceptent de faire un tout petit effort d’intégration en version gratuite… Ou pas, avec la version payante. Indiscutablement, si Amauri est un développeur de talent qui semble avoir négocié avec la CNIL avant tous les autres, il ne met pas assez en avant son outil qui, même dans sa version gratuite (!!), s’installe plutôt facilement pour le commun des développeurs pas trop fainéants, et regorge de fonctionnalités, comme la possibilité d’alimenter son code en services pré-définis (pour les principaux) et cerise sur le gâteau, la description de ces services via un lien vers les éditeurs concernés, et tout ça, automatiquement !! Et on continue avec la traduction de l’interface en fonction de la localisation des navigateurs, etc. Déjà à ce stade, la concurrence est à genoux ! Une approche plutôt altruiste de la part du développeur (qui mérite mille fois d’être rémunéré avec sa version pro pour ceux qui préfèrent un service tout prêt et sans effort), qui n’est pas mise suffisamment en avant et ne mérite pas son score trop modeste sur cette plateforme. Et je ne parle pas (mais si, j’en parle 😉 des critiques négatives de la part de pseudo-développeurs trop habitués à ce qu’on leur serve la soupe toute chaude et sans frais. On s’imagine aussi que les solutions qui trustent le max d’étoiles, telles que Cookieyes, Borlabs et consorts, représentent les solutions absolues mais sont devenues, à ce jour, obligatoirement payantes pour satisfaire les besoins de la CNIL, et demanderont un travail de traduction particulièrement fastidieux. Et surtout, l’argument ultime du scan auto des cookies, plus que perfectible et obscur dans la majorité des cas, imposera l’obligation d’aller à la pêche aux cookies via Chrome > Application… (ou Firefox), et bonne chance pour identifier clairement les cookies et les intégrer. Conclusion (pour ceux qui ont eu la patience d’arriver jusque là 😉 : je dis un grand merci à ce développeur, qui ne fait pas le forcing avec sa version payante, et qui nous aide bien volontier à optimiser la solution libre. Perso, ça vaut de l’or ! A un moment, dans ce monde de pseudo gratuité, il faut promouvoir une solution que l’on nous sert quasiment sur un plateau, et qui limite le grand cauchemar des développeur dont la CNIL ne se préoccupe pas une seconde une fois qu’elle a fixé ses règles. Forza tarteaucitron !!!!!! PS : je n’ai aucune commission de la part de l’éditeur, je suis juste un développeur standard qui ai pris le temps d’évaluer cet outil en toute objectivité.

Je n’ai pas forcément des connaissances très poussées en code mais j’ai trouvé ce plugin assez facile d’utilisation et complet. En zieutant le web, on trouve pas mal de ressources et d’explications associées. Une bonne découverte =) !
