The General Data Protection Regulation (RGPD) that came into effect on May 25, 2018, oblige the owners of the websites to inform users of the following aspects:
<ul>
<li>Who is responsible for the processing of your data?</li>
<li>What is the purpose for which personal data are collected?</li>
<li>What is the legal basis for collecting the data?</li>
<li>Who can be the recipients of personal data?</li>
<li>What are the rights that users can exercise in terms of data protection?</li>
</ul>
This information, in addition to the Privacy Policy of the web, must be present in a first layer of basic information below each form or data collection channel of the web.
Another obligation for the owners of the websites is to obtain the consent of the users, explicitly, in order to collect and process their data. To obtain this consent, the user must take an action (such as check a checkbox), that is, the users must be aware that they are giving their consent for a specific purpose.
WordPress, although it included in the comment form of the blog a checkbox so that users could save their data in a cookie to be used in the future, didn’t put neither the link to the Privacy Policy nor the first layer of information, obligatory by the regulation. For this reason, this plugin is born, to add those elements and thus the owners of the websites can comply with the law.

Disables WordPress comment cookies. A tiny but useful plugin for people looking to simplify EU cookie law compliance requirements.
Comment cookies are only used to avoid unregistered users to put their name and URL in the comment form everytime they comment in your WordPress and to allow them to see their comments while they are in moderation queue.
So if you’re ok with losing the above functionality, this plugin will:
<ul>
<li>Prevent the cookie to be inserted in the comment author browser.</li>
<li>Remove the checkbox for cookie consent in the WP core comments form.</li>
</ul>
NOTE: This is not legal advice and can’t substitute it, it’s only a tiny plugin to help you when you know your site and your responsabilities. If you need legal advice regarding to EU cookie law and your site in your country ask to a lawyer.
GDPR Notice: The author of this plugins doesn’t collect ANY DATA. Also the plugin doesn’t store any data in the site.
<h4>Requirements</h4>
<ul>
<li>WordPress 3.8.1 or higher.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Usage</h4>
Simply install and activate, no options.

Cookieless Comments

First: This simply does the job - no comment cookies from WordPress.

Second: It works with WordPress 4.9.4 (it's so simple, nothing to go wrong).

Third: In the new age of EU cookie law (german: DSGVO) then this can help to reduce your websites cookies to zero, and eliminate the need for a cookie banner.

@samuelaguilera: Please update the compatibility version to help more users find it!

GREAT, now I need no cookie banner
