Biggest opportunity: Swap “gdpr”, “privacy” and “cookie banner” for “eprivacy directive”, “ccpa cookie consent” and “uk cookie law”. “gdpr” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “eprivacy directive” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “privacy” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “ccpa cookie consent” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “cookie banner” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #22. “uk cookie law” sits at #8 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 →2.7%
of downloads still active
At least 80K of 3M 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.
This plugin shipped 1 release in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

What to do about it
- Swap “gdpr”, “privacy” and “cookie banner” for “eprivacy directive”, “ccpa cookie consent” and “uk cookie law”. “gdpr” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “eprivacy directive” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “privacy” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “ccpa cookie consent” sits at #7 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “cookie banner” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #22. “uk cookie law” sits at #8 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 “ccpa”. #13 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Cannot stand Termly anymore. I am changing NOW !! Have used it for almost 2 years. It ended up messing up all my SEO description, Google taking their banner text as description. Tried all solutions from Dev side. No one works, the worst is that support is not helping at all !!! Just reply message “we have receive your message and escalated”

This plugin was a very simple, basic plugin doing 1 job and 1 job only. You installed it you knew what you were getting. Now it requires an account on a private company’s API. 0 features without an account.

This dreadful plugin has enabled a bot in robots.txt file. It’s only by searching for the user agent name that I found out in a WordPress thread that this could be the culprit. Take my advice, delete the files in the database and use another Cookie plugin.

This plugin apparently stopped working months ago – which is bad. But worse – we don’t recall seeing any warning or communication. For months we were relying on a plugin that turned itself off. And of course – we don’t notice because we are not new users. The new free version doesn’t meet our needs and is convoluted – so we have to select and install an alternative.
