Very good
by Athlios·2 days ago
It’s a pretty polished experience and works as intended.
I would like to see better customization options in the future.
Unusable
by Gary·2 days ago
Used this plugin yesterday on another site with the WordPress-based interface and everything worked smoothly.
Installed it again today and was forced into the new cloud-based system. The experience is completely different and significantly worse.
- Cookie scan repeatedly failed
- Basic features like geotargeting now locked behind paywall
- Configuration moved out of WordPress into an external dashboard
- No consistency between installs despite same plugin
What was previously a straightforward, usable plugin is now fragmented and unreliable.
Wasted a considerable amount of time trying to get basic functionality working. Will not be using this again.
Remove feature every update to make it premium.

Not consummer friendly at all. Don’t use the free version.
I recommand to search for an alternative.
Good Compliance Tool
by scottkerr2·4 days ago
Easy to set up & helps manage cookie consent nicely. UI is clean & does the job well. Sometimes feels a bit limited in options. But overall works fine.
plugin muito bom

o plugin é muito bom, pena que não é possivel diminuir o tamanho do banner em mobile. ocupa muito espaço.
