<p><strong>Cookie Notice</strong> provides a simple, customizable website banner that can be used to help your website comply with certain cookie consent requirements under the EU GDPR cookie law and CCPA regulations and includes <strong>seamless integration</strong> with Cookie Compliance to help your site comply with the latest updates to existing consent laws.</p>
<p><strong>Cookie Compliance</strong> 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 <strong>take a proactive approach to data protection and consent laws</strong>. 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.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>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.<br />

<li><strong>Configurable Privacy Contact</strong> allows you to provide contact information for a business’ data privacy admin, as well as helpful links to data subject request forms and other data privacy resources. <em>Aligns with the informed principle prescribed by GDPR rules for valid consent capture.</em></li>
</ul>
<h4>Web Application features:</h4>
<ul>

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

<h4>Cookie Compliance proactive approach:</h4>
<p>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</p>
<p><strong>Cookie Compliance covers all current and upcoming regulations:</strong></p>
<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>
<p><strong>Cookie Compliance incorporates all recent formatting guidance:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>European Data Protection Supervisor (EDPS)</li>
<li>ICO (United Kingdom)</li>
<li>CNIL (France)</li>
<li>GPDP (Italy)</li>
<li>BfDl (Germany)</li>
<li>AEPD (Spain)</li>
<li>European Center for Digital Rights (noyb.eu)</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Cookie Compliance targets dark patterns</strong></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>As a part of our proactive approach, Cookie Compliance is configured by default to prevent Dark Patterns through our unique Intentional Consent design.</p>


Cookie Notice & Compliance for GDPR / CCPA

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

Cookie Notice allows you to you elegantly inform users that your site uses cookies and helps you comply with GDPR, CCPA and other data privacy laws.
