The best solution for Cookie Consent on WordPress

As soon as I discovered it I started using it. GDPR is very relevant for web designer, and having such a simple solution for WP is huge.

Pros

The free tier is enough for the majority of the projects I worked on. It is perfect for cookie consent, and it let you personalize the appearance just enough.
I've already installed it on every single website I designed on WordPress. It doesn't surprise me that they have 1M+ installations on WP websites. You are GDPR compliant in a few clicks.

Cons

No major cons related to the free trial.
The only thing I would like to see added is the translation of the default text, available only in English. I need to manually translate it if I want it in Italian (or any other language), but it's fine since it's a free solution.

Excellent Product - brilliant customer service

Great - solved my cookie blocking issues in an easy way.

Pros

I chose this particular cookie solution for the auto-block feature. It was easy to implement and I liked that in comparison to other free cookie-solution services, the banner was a little more customisable.

I initially had some issue getting my site scanned and the customer service people were simply brilliant. All my questions were answered quickly and any problems almost immediately overcome. I have taken a just a basic banner option for my small site and so to receive such good service is a very welcome surprise.

Cons

I would not say there is anything I do not like but it would be nice to be able to add an image to the banner as was offered in the trial.

Pros

easy to get started with GDPR compliance.
because of smart defaults that are good enough for most cases.

Cons

The fact that sometimes, it doesn't work. Like for example it didn't change the content I was setting, when refreshing the site. I had to ask for the support assistant to help me, but he was competent enough to help me with a workaround.

Response from Cookie Law Info

Hi,

Thank you so much for your feedback. It is highly appreciated.

We would like to add that the content changes sometimes do not reflect or take time to reflect due to browser caching. In these cases, the issue usually goes away by clearing the browser cache.

CookieYes is a really easy tool to set-up, customise, and deploy. Customer service is always on hand to help with any queries and potential issues.

Cons

Nothing. But if I had to pick something, maybe the dashboard pie chart should let you click the segments to see the IPs that are assigned to a specific status.

Very positive. It was simple to set up, and the one bit of support I did need was provided very quickly.

Pros

I used CookieYes to set up a GDPR compliant banner on a website to integrate with Google Analytics. CookieYes made that integration legally compliant. The product was very easy to install and configure, and the one question I asked Support was answered overnight. Overall, an excellent outcome!

Cons

Some potential for ending up with CookieYes being injected twice into the website, with the end result of stack overflow and needing to ask Support for help, but once I'd understood my mistake, it was easily corrected.

I had an issue where some parts of my site stopped working after making a change in CookieYes. I got in touch via the service chat, and their representative was able to help me in a matter of minutes, and everything was fixed.

I had a question during the past weekend, and even though the chat was offline, I got an email reply in less than 12 hours, with a very helpful response that gave me the info I needed.

All in all, I am massively impressed with CookieYes, and will be upgrading my account from Free to Paid the second my traffic warrants it, and probably sooner.

A note to CookieYes: Shopify is woefully inadequate at handling GDPR, and most of the Apps available in their store do not live up legal GDPR compliance; you should really consider this market. Look into implementing their Cookie Consent API (if possible), and spend some time marketing specifically to Shopify stores. Your services are sorely needed there, and I think it could be a good market for you! #shopifyGDPR

Pros

Implementing CookieYes into my Shopify shop was a breeze. Paste one tiny bit of code into the correct template (<head> section of theme.liquid page for the curious), and it just works.

Setting everything up in CookieYes is simple and intuitive, and all changes load instantly on my site after hitting Publish in the CookieYes admin area.

Contrary to most of the native Shopify 3rd party GDPR/cookie consent Apps, CookieYes actually stores the given consent from each user.

By inserting a tiny piece of HTML into my Cookie Policy page, CookieYes generates the entire audit table, so I always have the latest info about all the cookies my shop uses, and can easily display it as a table to customers. Brilliant.

I can also add a link to allow customers to change their cookie preferences at a later time. Again, easy as pasting one line of HTML into a text field in my shop editor.

As a tiny shop just about to launch, the free option lets me try everything out, and experience the full power of the service, for as long as 100 consents a day is enough. Once I need more than that, the prices are extremely fair.

Cons

Nothing so far. I am looking very much forward to seeing what new features are coming in the future =)

Said it was a coding issue on their end and they would notify me as soon as they had it repaired. I had the email, and the fix, by the next morning. Excellent customer service!

Pros
