This very simple plugins places a notification above each page about cookie usage on your site through the CookieOK script by <a href="http://cookieok.eu/" rel="nofollow ugc">Digital Morphosis</a>.
Stricly speaking, this might not be seen as a full compliance with the EU law ‘to the letter’ because that would mean either disabling large parts of your WordPress site or simply blocking visitors from browsing your site until they approve cookie usage. In both cases, your site will become very user unfriendly.
Therefore, this plugin is designed to be less obtrusive than others. Visitors will see a small band above each page with a notice about cookies being used which they can accept, after which they will not see the notification any more. But even if they ignore the message, they will still be able to browse your site. Nobody will be blocked at any time.

NOTES
This plugin does not create a possibility for users to disapprove of cookies and continue browsing your site without them. It simply is impossible to create a generic server side method to prevent cookies. Besides WordPress’s own cookies (left when a visitor comments or logs in), there are just too many plugins out there that all place their specific cookies. Visitor stats, social media buttons, embedded Youtube or other media, Gravatar hover cards, chat widgets or buttons, fancy sliders, big menus or other web 2.0 effects, multi-language plugins, adverts… The list goes on and on so even if it is possible in particlular cases, it would be just silly to attempt this for all sites.
Currently, there are no configuration options. The cookie notification is a fixed generic message in English only. The notification bar appears at the top with a green background color. Future versions will get a configurable message, multi-lingual support and some styling options.

Cookie OK

Simply add the CookieOK script to your site to comply with the new EU cookie law.

<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

Easily set up cookie banner or notice in WordPress, and policy pages for compliance with global cookie laws (GDPR, DSGVO, RGPD, CCPA/CPRA, etc).
