  • Quick and easy to set up

    I have used one other cookie consent plugin, but this one was much quicker and easier to set up. I would use it again for future sites.

  • Best I have found WPConsent – Cookie Banner & Cookie Consent

    I tried several Cookie banners and this one is far the best. Since it is free, I am happy to get emails from them. I am a small company, and I have to admit I really do not know much about the law in regards to cookie banners, but I feel conformable using WPConcent on my web site.

  • Fine and You Get Added to their Email List

    Plugin seems fine, but... They start on you as soon as they get your email address. Once a day so far. Be sure to watch for any place where your email address is submitted to WPConsent, because they'll add you to their email list. So far the plugin seems fine, though.

  • Excellent Plugin

    This has been a great addition to my Wordpress website. Very easy to setup and use with many fantastic features. I would highly recommend this for a low or high traffic site.
