  • Not bad for a self-managed cookies control

    Plugin works as advised and brings you extra features to better manage cookies Is a good option if your project requires a more advanced way to manage cookies than the automated options offered in WordPress

  • Very easy to use

    I wrapped the content in the shortcodes and it works fine. For now 4 stars til i know to set attributes and see if the automatically blocking of scripts work. I love this simple and fast plugin.
