Active installations1K+Adoption metric — not a quality score

Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

WP PlugIndex currently records Cookie Notice & Consent version 1.6.6 as active, updated 1y ago and tested up to WordPress 6.8.
Overview
About this plugin
Cookie Notice & Consent makes it easy for you to collect consent for the usage of cookies.
It lets you define different cookie categories and display them within a notice banner.
Ready-made themes for the cookie notice banner makes it easy for non-technical users to get started.
Users can select which categories to consent with. Consent logs are stored (optional).
Scripts will be output and executed only after the user has accepted the respective categories.
Cookie Notice & Consent aims to help you comply with local privacy laws like GDPR/DSGVO. It does not offer a one-click solution though. Please set up your website properly and carefully to comply with applicable laws.
Developer focus
Please note that Cookie Notice & Consent is generally geared towards developers and technically savvy site administrators. Although it does provide pre-made themes, the plugin does not provide separate options for individual design aspects, and does not plan to provide those in the future. It is up to the developer/administrator to add further styling to match the theme using CSS.
This plugin does not add any branding (neither visually nor textually), top-level admin menu items or user-facing indicators. It aims to be usable in client projects by blending in with WordPress core appearance, naming and settings. Settings screens are visible to administrator level users only.
What this plugin does not provide
Beyond the pre-made, as-is themes, this plugin does not offer styling options via the settings screen (please contact your webdev for further design customization)
This plugin does not provide scanning for, detecting or automatic blocking content like embeds, scripts or cookies
