<h3>Key Features</h3>
<ul>

The cookie notice can either be displayed as a modal or a banner on the bottom of the viewport.

<li>
Two consent types available: Simple consent offers a general accept/deny option. Category consent offers separate consent by cookie categories.
</li>
<li>
Basic design customizations (fonts, colors, …) are available in the admin settings. Advanced customizations are possible through the use of CSS variables or by providing a custom stylesheet.
</li>
<li>

<h3>Performance</h3>

<li>Javascript: There’s just one 11kb (gzip) Javascript file. No dependencies. No jQuery.</li>
<li>CSS: You can either use an external CSS file (2.5kb, gzip), inline all styles, or provide a custom stylesheet. </li>
<li>HTML: CookieFox just injects only a single \<div> tag in the <code>wp_footer</code> hook. It is used as a root tag for initiating the script.</li>

Really like the small footprint and unobstructed interface. It's setup-and-forget kind of plugins which many others forget to consider.

Also made in Austria!

Super lightweight single purpose plugin
