Simple, light, easy
It's very hard to find a simple plugin like this (old school) now days they are all so annoying, this is what I need vs the all others!

Wonderful easy solution
I'm a big fan of open source, especially when it is such a clean and easy solution as compared to the dozens (hundreds?) of other options. This is a grand total of 410 lines of code to review for security and performance issues. I certainly could have written this, but I'm so glad I did not have to... Now I just have to craft the dang cookie-policy page itself. Hint: look at sites that have their policy pages published under a Creative Commons license. I'm looking at you, Wikipedia. 345 1143 15143 cookie-bar.php 30 90 1150 js/cookie-bar.js 5 8 139 wpml-config.xml 30 58 556 css/cookie-bar.css 410 1299 16988 total

Discrete, effective & so simple
This is by far, the best simple & discrete cookie compliance plugin. Love the color & text customization options. I only wish that either the disclaimer text had adjustible padding options so that compliance accessibility icons don't obscure the text, or even better, if it had an accessibility button built in to stay on screen even after cookies are acknowledged.

The plugin works great. It uses no third-party sites or memberships...
It's a really good plugin! It doesn't use lots of resources or third-party sites and I like that it's open source. There are a couple of things I'd like to see: I would like to be able to set the bar to the middle of the screen. Change size of both the bar (wide & height). Change font size.

Perfect
I needed simple GDPR cookie bar and this plugin is the best + lightweight. U can write any message to your visitors in any language with hyperlinks. U can set button colour, but im very satisfied with default colors :)
