Better than native solutions from wordpress
by winterfjell·2 years ago
I like it more than the wordpress solution with cookie consent, because the consent is stored in the database. It works as long you use the native WordPress comment form. You just have to add the link to your privacy policy page. If you want more, you find the plugin settings is available under Settings -> Discussion. Using this plugin since years now and I am absolutely satisfied. Thank you.

Great Lightweight Consent Plugin for WordPress Comment
by jamestanjames·4 years ago
It works for native WordPress comment form. Once installed it is ready to use (just need to link your privacy policy page but it works without the page).
Just in case, this plugin settings is available under Settings > Discussion.
