A trusted solution that works.
by Chise Hachiroku·2 years ago
First of all, it is really simple to configure, and is able to really block cookies based on user’s choices. Its free version is already packed with all the essential features that a personal or commercial website would ever need.
Secondly, it is a solution trusted by many organisations, including the Information Commissioner’s Office and NHS Inform of Scotland, quite a piece of mind that it complies with GDPR.
A Cookie Plugin that actually works
by bsthp·5 years ago
We have been installing this Cookie Script on all our client websites for some time now. Previously, installing it manually, now via the easy to use Plugin. They have always offered prompt support for any questions I have had. Importantly, this Plugin actually works! It does what it is meant to do. There are other solutions out there, which on the surface, may look appealing. However, try testing them to see if they actually work. You will be surprised!
Excellent response time for support and quickly solved my issue
by seanfod·5 years ago
The team at Civic Uk provided us with excellent customer service and advice. The plugin worked out of the box but we did need some help configuring it and had a plugin conflict that they flagged up for us and told us how to resolve the situation.
The support we recieved was quick and professional. A well deserved 5 stars from us. Thank you.
Couldn’t get it to work
by dpmcalister·5 years ago
It just wouldn’t work on my site and when I contacted their support, they basically said that it doesn’t support IAB properly.
Buggy with poor support
by salubritas·5 years ago
Buggy cookie control plugin. Rude support who deny that there could possibly be any bugs just because lots of people use it. WTF?
Takes a lot of time to set up (which is OK) but that investment is wasted when they deny the possibility of bugs, even when the same bugs occur on their own website!
