CookieKit GDPR & Cookie Consent


This is my updated review.



Very simple and lightweight, no hassle to configure. One can select type of box, a visual theme and the color for the primary button. And selct the default preferences for new visitors. No nags outside the admin settings page, which is a humble submenu item below Settings.



This plugin should suit the needs of most sites, and I am replacing other complicated, confusing and bloated plugins I had earlier.


Simple, clean, still very configurable

Professional GDPR & CCPA compliant cookie consent solution with beautiful design, automatic script blocking, and complete cookie compliance.
