Best cookie plugin until now
I have waited a long time to have a reliable and easy-to-use GDPR plugin. So far this is doing the job better than any other I have tried. Good job, team.

SureCookie – A Powerful Cookie Consent Solution with an Excellent Developer Expe
SureCookie is a really well-built cookie consent plugin, and one of the things I appreciate most about it is the effort put into its scanning engine and cookie library. The scanning functionality makes identifying cookies much easier, while the library helps streamline cookie management and categorization. These features make a real difference in building a reliable cookie consent solution. The UI is another highlight. It is clean, modern, intuitive, and thoughtfully designed. The overall experience feels smooth, and the different features come together nicely without making the workflow unnecessarily complicated. From cookie scanning to consent management and banner customization, the plugin offers a well-rounded experience. I also appreciate the focus on privacy regulations and compliance requirements. Having cookie scanning and consent management features working together makes it easier to build websites that align with applicable privacy laws and regulations. While actual compliance depends on the website's implementation and configuration, SureCookie provides useful tools to support that process. A special mention to Navanath, who has been incredibly helpful whenever I have had questions or needed support. He is one of the best people to approach for technical queries, always willing to help and explain things clearly. His support and problem-solving approach make a noticeable difference. Overall, SureCookie stands out because of its scanning capabilities, comprehensive cookie library, polished UI, smooth experience, and strong focus on privacy. It is a solid solution that brings together functionality and usability, and the work behind the product really shows. Definitely a plugin worth checking out for anyone working with WordPress cookie consent and privacy management.Great work. Keep it up as always !!!

Not compatible with Firefox
No matter what I do, at some point the browser freezes and becomes unresponsive. I had higher hopes for version 1.6—and for the developer as well.The rest, which I then tested with Chrome, is, well, so-so. The interface is modern, but the functionality feels like it’s from an alpha version. You can find something here and there, but it’s still far from complete. Sometimes the browser scan works, but then it freezes again. It's completely unreliable and very unsatisfactory. It seems they rushed it to market a bit too early so as not to fall behind.

As a freelance web developer building sites for various clients, finding a reliable and intuitive cookie consent solution is crucial. SureCookie has been an absolute game-changer for my workflow. The user interface is fantastic. It is clean, modern, and makes managing consent settings incredibly easy without any steep learning curves. Everything is straightforward and right where you expect it to be. You can clearly see that the team is deeply invested in the product. They are constantly pushing out fast, meaningful updates and listening to the community to make the plugin even better. Beyond the great software, their customer support is exceptional. They are remarkably fast to respond, genuinely helpful, and truly stand behind their users. If you need a hassle-free, actively developed cookie plugin backed by an amazing team, I highly recommend SureCookie!

Actively maintained, feature-packed cookie consent plugin
This is a feature packed cookie consent plugin that comes from an established WordPress developer so you know they'll constantly keep it updated and maintained. Support is also quick and friendly. Emailed with a couple questions and got helpful replies fast. Definitely one to try if you need cookie consent.

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.
