Humanityco

Compliance by Hu-manity.co (formerly known as Cookie Notice) provides a simple, customizable website banner that can be used to help your website comply with cookie consent requirements under the EU GDPR, CCPA, and other data privacy laws — with seamless integration with Cookie Compliance to help your site comply with the latest updates to existing consent laws.
Cookie Compliance is a fully featured Consent Management Platform (CMP) that provides automated compliance features and enhanced design controls in a state-of-the-art web application. Cookie Compliance enables websites to take a proactive approach to data protection and consent laws. It is the first solution to offer Intentional Consent, a new consent framework that incorporates the latest guidelines from over 100+ countries, and emerging standards from leading international organizations like the IEEE and European Center for Digital Rights (noyb.eu). Cookie Compliance provides a beautiful, multi-level experience and includes new choices and controls for site visitors to better understand and engage in data privacy decisions.
<blockquote>
Our Cookie Compliance web application introduces a more ethical, proactive way to capture and manage consent. This early version of the emerging Intentional Consent framework is a result of Hu-manity.co’s ongoing work with top Fortune 500 companies, governments, and standards organizations, who believe that the imbalanced relationship between consumers and corporations is unsustainable when it comes to data privacy and consent online. We are making it available for all website owners and operators who share this belief and support our mission to eliminate the dark patterns in online consent.

<li>Automatic script blocking blocks all non-essential cookie scripts and iFrames by default and complies with valid consent rules under GDPR and other data protection laws; in order to be compliant, your site must record visitor consent before setting or sending cookies.</li>
<li>Google Consent Mode ensures that your website can still gather valuable insights and perform effectively while respecting users’ privacy preferences by dynamically adjusting the behavior of Google services according to user consent.</li>
<li>Facebook Consent Mode allows your website to measure the impact of your ads on Facebook, track website activities and conversions and automatically deliver ads to Facebook if the user has agreed to.</li>
<li>Consent record storage automatically stores a record of each consent and makes these records available for export. Complies with proof-of-consent requirements prescribed under GDPR and other data protection laws.</li>
<li>Multilingual support automatically translates all banner text strings and allows you to provide custom translations for every text field to ensure visitors get a consistent consent experience.</li>

<h4>Cookie Compliance proactive approach:</h4>
For all businesses, the resources required to stay ahead of the latest regulations increases with the passage of each new law. With enforcement of compliance violations increasing daily, we believe it is critical for us as a trusted consent vendor to do everything in our power to help you stay ahead of these laws and remove the risk to your business
Cookie Compliance covers all current and upcoming regulations:
<ul>
<li>GDPR (EU)</li>
<li>ePrivacy Directive (EU)</li>
<li>ePrivacy Regulation (EU)</li>
<li>PECR (UK)</li>
<li>LGPD (Brazil)</li>
<li>PIPEDA (Canada)</li>
<li>PDPB (India)</li>
<li>CCPA (California, US)</li>
<li>VCDPA (Virginia, US)</li>
<li>Colorado Privacy Act (US)</li>
<li>CPRA (California, US)</li>
</ul>
Cookie Compliance incorporates all recent formatting guidance:
<ul>
<li>European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS)</li>
<li>ICO (United Kingdom)</li>

<li>GPDP (Italy)</li>
<li>BfDl (Germany)</li>
<li>AEPD (Spain)</li>
<li>European Center for Digital Rights (noyb.eu)</li>
</ul>
Cookie Compliance targets dark patterns
Dark Patterns are user interface (UI) techniques that push site visitors to make decisions (such as agreeing to the installation of cookies on their devices) that they might not otherwise make. The most common Dark Pattern is the lack of an equal “reject all” button on the first layer of the consent notice. Dark Patterns are explicitly banned under GDPR and other data protection laws.
As a part of our proactive approach, Cookie Compliance is configured by default to prevent Dark Patterns through our unique Intentional Consent design.

So yeah it's pretty bad, not sure why it looks so popular

Crappy bloated software that adds huge unhidable ads on your whole dashboard


This plugin is culprit, like many others, of the same bad practice which consists of abusing admin notices and alerts to remind them to you, the admin. A good plugin is one that does it job and you forget about it. Adding a "ignore notification" that does absolutely nothing (class cn-notice-dismiss) is woth a systematic 1/5.


Some admin notices can't be hidden: stop bloating our admin interface

<h4>NOTE: INSTALLING THIS PLUGIN ALONE DOES NOT MAKE YOUR SITE GDPR AND CCPA COMPLIANT. SINCE EACH SITE USES DIFFERENT COOKIES, YOU NEED TO ENSURE YOU HAVE THE NECESSARY CONFIGURATIONS IN PLACE WITH A SUPPORTING COOKIE NOTICE.</h4>

CookieYes – Cookie Banner for Cookie Consent (Easy to setup GDPR/CCPA Compliant Cookie Notice)

This used to be a great plugin, really. Now with the "new version" (it's actually a new plugin), you can use the plugin for free only once (on one website) in your lifetime. Unless you want to create a new account for each website you manage. This is more of a TRIAL than a functional plugin.
I am sorry, I really rarely give bad reviews, but if you ask me, this plugin doesn't deserve to be on wordpress.org anymore.
I hope you will fix it.

Disappointing

Perfect


I have tried almost all of the plugins that exist for GDPR, I used to use a different one .... but it was really off with the cookies it claimed that it found on the site, This one does a great job, and I have switched all the sites i maintain to this one. keep up the great work


The Best


it's very easy to use and powerfull to configure


Easy and usefull, good plugin


Easy to use. It does perfect job for my use. 



i just wish if I could also translate the cookie settings pop up window, 'Necessary', Functional', 'Analytics', so on... parts. Then it's perfect. 


Best Cookie plugin i ever seen.


Cool plugin to quickly add the super annoying banner on your website before you can read the content. Does as expected.


Does what I expected

Great Plugin


Was quite easy to set the plugin up, really nice to have the option to enable cookies only on acceptance. I really reccomend this plugin. 


Easy setup and effective

Works great


Fácil de instalar/configurar e rápido para usar!


Muito bom!


When I use this plugin it takes 15 speed points from the site, it's terrible


Page speed is awful


it works as it should and has caused me no recent issues 


Great plug in

Great plugin


Just what plugins should be about. Simple way to solve rather complex things and working out of the box. Much better then competitors.


Easier to use and works splendidly


It's a pretty polished experience and works as intended.I would like to see better customization options in the future.


Very good
