Deep GDPR & DACH Expertise

The cookie database, legal-text templates, and compliance checks are built around the GDPR and the especially strict German rules (DSGVO, TDDDG, ePrivacy) — so you get compliance depth that also covers the rest of the EU. The plugin is fully translatable and locale-aware: the admin UI ships in English and German, legal texts can be rendered per language, and more localized presets are being added.
