Overview
The Cookie Bar plugin is a lightweight and straightforward WordPress tool designed to display a discreet notification bar that informs users about cookie usage, in compliance with the EU cookie law (GDPR). It features a customizable message and an accept button, allowing visitors to acknowledge the message, after which the bar disappears. The dismissal is saved through cookies, ensuring that the notice does not reappear for the user. Ideal for site owners needing a seamless way to meet privacy regulations, it also includes troubleshooting tips for dealing with potential adblocker interference by whitelisting the site in the browser’s add-on or extension.

I’m a big fan of open source, especially when it is such a clean and easy solution as compared to the dozens (hundreds?) of other options. This is a grand total of 410 lines of code to review for security and performance issues. I certainly could have written this, but I’m so glad I did not have to… Now I just have to craft the dang cookie-policy page itself. Hint: look at sites that have their policy pages published under a Creative Commons license. I’m looking at you, Wikipedia.

This is by far, the best simple & discrete cookie compliance plugin. Love the color & text customization options. I only wish that either the disclaimer text had adjustible padding options so that compliance accessibility icons don’t obscure the text, or even better, if it had an accessibility button built in to stay on screen even after cookies are acknowledged.

It’s a really good plugin!
It doesn’t use lots of resources or third-party sites and I like that it’s open source.
There are a couple of things I’d like to see:
I would like to be able to set the bar to the middle of the screen.
Change size of both the bar (wide & height).
Change font size.

I needed simple GDPR cookie bar and this plugin is the best + lightweight. U can write any message to your visitors in any language with hyperlinks. U can set button colour, but im very satisfied with default colors 🙂
