### 󠀁[Zero Stars. Do not add](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/zero-stars-do-not-add/)󠁿

The business model of taking over useful open-source software and rewriting it as
SEO spam needs to fail everywhere, but particularly for people trying to comply 
with privacy laws. Get it out of the plugins repo ASAP wordpress.

Maybe you should look the word “free” up in your dictionary.

Free in the title. Bad UX overall, incomprehensive and only trying to nudge you 
to sign up and pay for something. Completely unnecessary too.

Wow… this plugin used to be a very good and straight forward tool to cover the GDPR
topic. After this plugin has been taken over they turned it into an advertising 
tool and for some reason just inject a bunch of crap in your WP sites. And if you
don’t register to their newsletter, this plugin goes inactive without any notification.
This is unacceptable. Just why would you be like this…

This is a perfect example how not to take over a plugin… It used to work when it
was owned by Van Ons. Somehow the new owner thought it was a good idea to disable
the plugin for all sites to force the user to register for their newsletter… Worst
Danish product ever!

### 󠀁[You can’t build on this plugin. They will just disable it one day.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/you-cant-build-on-this-plugin-they-will-just-disable-it-one-day/)󠁿

I’ve used this plugin from the beginning. It never was great, but it did what it
supposed to do. But since then they’ve completely restyled everything with links
to there own website and even worse they’ve now disabled the plugin on all my sites
until I sign up to their newsletter! Please you’re a cookie plugin, you have one
job. Stop taking sites hostage just so you can spam us with a your newsletter. For
anyone else with this issue: you can download previous versions on the plugin page
under “Advanced View”, after you’ve download it change the version number to something
really large eg “99999” to prevent the plugin from updating.
