cool futures inside

Very good experience, this plugin has some cool futures inside.

Thank you for making better relations with a legal regulation and customers
by n381·6 years ago

Hello, Thank you for making this plugin and enabling WP websites better relations with a legal regulation and customers as well.
I agree there are several possible issues and found that it is necessary to exclude gdpr-public.js and gdpr-public.css from scripts optimizations, disable security cookie scan/sanitization and so, the plugin will work.
Tested with WP 4.99

Not so good
by aquasshi·7 years ago

The cookie consent banner’s OK button does not work some times.

The best GDPR plugin available
by Opace Digital Agency·7 years ago

We use this plugin as standard now on all WP websites we develop at Opace. Before the GDPR legislation came into force, I searched long and hard for a solution that would provide all of the necessary compliance measures and tested various plugins. Some provided part solutions and others simply failed to work. Finding one that provided a full cookie compliance and consent management solution was difficult. There are a lot of options and features available with this plugin, but it’s one that I would highly recommend for any website owner.

Too Many Updates
by Bliss7·7 years ago

I don’t understand why this plugin is having sooo many updates, like sometimes every day. My Wordfence is keeping on giving me email alerts (because that is what it does) on every single plugin update and this plugin is one of the highest, for updates (sometimes every single day). Imagine if you have many sites, then all of them having Wordfence keeps on “spamming” you with alerts. And usually, it is this plugin (and a few others).

Why don’t you just update several iterations in the background, and then only put out the plugin for update on the WordPress platform. Instead of every single little change, followed by immediate upload :-/

Don’t get me wrong. Updating is good, like rain upon the earth, but too many updates is like too much rain every day, leading to a flood.
