WPConsent – Cookie Consent Banner for Privacy Compliance (GDPR / CCPA)


Just installed the free version to take a look. Blindingly fast, zero speed impact. Amazing plugin. Will try pro if I ever develop another website.


Zero effect on page speed


This is an extremely well thought out and designed plugin for important functionality most of us probably don't want to have to deal with. Easy to set up and flexible to make the cookie notice match your site design. I especially like how the plugin can analyze your site and determine which cookies are present.



I'm sure going forward this plugin is going to be on every site I build!


Excellent plugin
