GDPR - cookies plugin

What plugin do you suggest to deal with cookies and DGPR (I’m in Italy)?

Now I’m using GDPR compliance by supsystic, installed with hurry before going on holidays, but I’m not very happy with. The previous one phoned home too much (I’ve removed this long time ago), and the guys between disappered and those days was removed from wp.org. Many others just leaves cookies passing, others have tons of unuseful options…

Searching for something very easy… a banner, no cookies, an “Accept” button that fires up cookies!

Suggestions?

Thank you!

I currently use GDPR Cookie Consent , out-of-the-box this plugin doesn’t make your site GDPR compliant, obviously different site uses different cookies, so you gat to configure it in the plugin settings/options.

Goodluck with Cookies and biscuits :cookie:

I use GDPR Cookie Consent too, it just works. Didn’t know, what happens under the hood, but from the UI side, it is better than any else, I tried dozen before picked this.

Hello, any suggestion on a free plugin in 2025?

I do use cookie yes and it works flawlessly. The free version is powerful and enough for a simple site without heavy marketing beacons and whatnots.

Unfortunately the free version doesn’t offer enough pageviews per month.

if you embed a YouTube video in standard WP, then any user watching that video may get literally hundreds of cookies, which do all kinds of things, because YouTube over-rides your cookie policy with its own.
However, there is a way to stop that behaviour, and for a lot of sites, that may well solve a lot of potential future issues.

Personally, I do not think site visitors should need cookies at all, and I am working on a theme that enforces cookieless connections for non logged in users, as well as blocking any external API look-ups that may include user information.
