Amazing little gem!
Perfect little plugin. Instead of bloated plugins that you have to pay for every year, just set up this plugin and use it freely forever. And if you're worried about Google Consent Mode v2 and the integration of Google Tag Manager with this plugin, don't worry because it's also easy to do it by following the instructions on YouTube on how to setup Consent Mode v2 with any cookie-banner and GTM.[link removed by moderator; links are not permitted in reviews.]

Super lightweight single purpose plugin
Really like the small footprint and unobstructed interface. It's setup-and-forget kind of plugins which many others forget to consider. Also made in Austria!
