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.

Clean UI, Fast Updates, and Outstanding Support!
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.

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.
