### "The best solution for Cookie Consent on WordPress"

May 6, 2022

5.0

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"

December 8, 2020

5.0

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.

### "Horrible experience"

February 26, 2025

1.0

Horrible experience. Our websites were very slow on mobile after installing the banner. Also the scrolling was working horrible. Only solution they offered (after 1000’s of euros investigation costs) was to restrict the vendors list. This has over 800 vendors and is impossible to go through. Also Google writes all these vendors are needed. So there is no solution and the whole experience with cookieyes was a nightmare!!!!!

Pros

Unfortunately We only had horrible experiences with the Cookieyes banner.

Cons

Their banner caused many problems on our websites

### "Great product and technical support"

January 30, 2020

5.0

It has been great so far, especially the support we have received.

Pros

It is very easy to use, is customisable and does the job well. When we have the needed help the support team's response has been very prompt and useful.

Cons

It would be good to have documentation on the website about the CSS classes that are possible to target on the product. This information was provided by the team.

Reason for choosing CookieYes

It fitted our requirements best

October 30, 2020

5.0

Pros

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.

### "Great Cookie Banner, awesome customer service"

October 19, 2020

4.0

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 =)

### "Great support! Ease of installation."

December 10, 2020

4.0

Pros

Support ist great. Added consent overlay as feature for us and the ability to set cookies by subdomain. Features that elsewhere cost plenty of money.

Cons

Overlay and cookies by subdomain should be optional feature in admin page. Maybe add autotranslation from DeepL to admin.

Reason for choosing CookieYes

pricing, ease of installation

### "Works well most of the time. But support compensates."

November 20, 2020

4.0

At the end of the day, it works.

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.

### "Very easy to set up, use and manage"

April 16, 2024

5.0

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.

Reason for choosing CookieYes

There are quite a lot of products which claim to make implementation of a GDPR consent banner easy so you can integrate with Google Analytics. But when you look a bit closer at most of them, they're not so good. CookieYes was the best overall, and is working out well for me.

CookieYes makes it possible to stay compliant with cookies regulations.

Pros

We stay compliant with worldwide cookies regulations, thanks to comprehensive features of CookieYes platform.

October 12, 2020

Very positive so far. I like the features and how easy it was to set up and install.

Pros

That the free version has all the functionality that I need at the moment and that the premium version isn't too expensive should I want to upgrade. It is also very easy to install.

Cons

The fact that I had to add code to my theme - but the step by step instructions really helped with this!

Reason for choosing CookieYes

This one looked easier and definitely included what I needed.

### "Loving CookieYes"

August 29, 2019

5.0

I had a minor glitch with the way the banner appeared on mobile devices. The online customer support instantly recognized the issue. 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

Getting our website GDPR compliant was overwhelming and confusing until I found CookieYes. I love the detailed and thoughtful way it guides my readers and helps them understand they have control of how cookies are stored and used.

Cons

I had a brief glitch on mobile devices. It was rectified quickly.

May 22, 2020

5.0

My overall experience with CookieYes has been incredibly positive, from the product itself to their helpful customer service and support, it's been a pleasure to work with.

Pros

Finding the right service for cookie consent can be such a headache, CookieYes alleviates all these problems with an all-in-one, easy to use product at an amazing price.

Cons

Nothing so far. The only thing it hasn't been able to offer was Mandarin language support, despite an impressive list of languages available, however given the complexities it's entirely understandable.

Very happy and looks nice on the website.

Pros

The product works very well and easy to implement with just copying and pasting the code on to your website. Works also on Wordpress. Great customer services - Executive helped me with the whole processes and took a lot of time to support me. All text can be edited. Also able to give you GDPR answers to your questions.

Cons

I wish you could choose different button styles and if it automatically integrated the style of the website into the plugin.

### "Great support, but the product is not mature, yet"

August 19, 2019

4.0

Although the product has a lot of potential, the features are still in a post-beta state, probably in a few weeks from writing this review it should be RC state; for anyone with some kind of experience in integrating remote code and capable of clicking some buttons, can set up in minutes their cookie banner. If you have problems, go to support, CSR is a rock-star in solving problems 😊

Pros

I liked the features that are available, it makes it so easy to get a list of cookies, build a pop-up banner and inform your visitors about your T&C.

Cons

The features are still limited, the product is still in early stages, translations need to be done (furthermore), the admin interface is buggy (sometimes) and some customisations don't work properly.

Reason for choosing CookieYes

ease of integration, log of consents, performance.
