Solid Plugin by Solid Developer
I've tried just about every consent plugin there is and this one is definitely the most accurate of them so far. The developer has answered all of my questions with clarity & detail and taken into account any reported issues rather than responding with canned replies - they actually read and think about what you ask or report before giving you an answer. This is the only plugin so far that I've tested that actually does block all the cookies you set and scripts with minimal hassle.

GDPR is once again a waste of time
Like all the plugins you’ve developed, it can’t be used in a way that’s 100% compliant with data protection regulations. Borlabs Cookie also performs a scan — and does so very reliably, even without logging into an account — where, as with Surecart and all your other services, data is transmitted to you and collected. As you can see, parts of a visitor’s IP address can be masked, but who can tell us here when (before or after transmission) and whether this is actually 100% the case? Once again, we have to take your word for it, and since I’ve already hit a dead end with Surecart and using this shop system poses a high risk in Europe, I’d rather warn my fellow users here with this post. It would really help users in Europe if you relied on built-in system functions instead of connecting your data collector for everything. Thank you in advance! 2 stars, because you always put a lot of effort into the back-end and front-end design.

Great Plugin, Great Support, Great Price
This is a must-have plugin by the Brainstorm Force Team. As always, their support is excellent: quick to reply, knowledgeable, and ready to help every step of the way to solve an issue. The SureCookie Team has created an outstanding plugin that covers key compliance issues with this banner, including detecting cookies, rescanning when you want, and blocking non-essential scripts, among other things. The most recent update added a data request form, and the plugin keeps getting better as the team continues to improve it and listen to customer feedback. The lifetime plan is a deal!

After years of waiting, what I had been looking for!
Although my websites are not commercial and do not contain any adverts, I have been aware for years that consent management and other similar features are becoming increasingly necessary. However, no plugin had really convinced me. Having had good experiences with other products from the same developers (SureForms and SureRank), I immediately took notice when SureCookie was launched. So I installed it on several websites and purchased the Pro version. Like the other products from the same developers, SureCookie is user-friendly. After setting it up and testing it on two or three websites, and thus familiarising myself with the interface and features, I was able to install it on other websites in just a few minutes per site. SureCookie is simple to configure, and its operation is largely automated. I was also able to install it on a website using four languages. Having encountered a few difficulties, I contacted support, who took the time to provide me with detailed and clear answers, and even checked my website to ensure everything was set up correctly. All this was done with patience and kindness: a support service that reads customers’ queries carefully and provides personalised responses rather than pre-formulated ones. These developers’ products are all of high quality, and the exceptional standard of support would deserve an extra star on top of the five given here, if that were possible.

Great Plugin - excellent support
I've been looking for a reliable cookie management solution for a long time and when I saw this one, I knew it had potential. It's so straightforward to set up and it does exactly what it needs to do. Additionally, the support is outstanding. I'll be using this on all my wordpress sites from now on.
