Pressidium Cookie Consent


It is very easy to customize and developer friendly.



I was thinking of using the vanilla-cookieconsent library directly but I found that someone had already created a WordPress plugin based on that library which saved me a lot of work.



I noticed one issue and the developers very quickly fixed it after I reported it.


Excellent


I was quite frustrated from other plugins. I was planning create my own plugin with vanilla-cookieconsent. That was my last search before starting with development.



THANK YOU!


just my dreams come true


After checking out CookieYes, Complianz, CookieBot etc etc. I luckily found this plugin!



Lightweight, open source, non invasive, non locking-- what a breath of fresh air.



A big thank you to the devs. This is how plugins should be written. 



I'd happily donate for this plugin.


Great!


Tried so many cookie consent solutions over the years and so glad I have settled on this one now. Looks really nice and full-featured. I like not having to rely on some third-party hosted consent solution. Many thanks for your hard work.


Fantastic
