### "Good Cookie management software"

December 13, 2022

5.0

I can fully recommend this software to every individual and project.

Pros

As a user i can confirm that using their application you can browse internet faster as we are able to control our cookies in a better way. I haven't heard any other tool doing similar things and they are making our life easier.

Cons

They can develop a feature where they can remember our passwords as per user consent.

Thank you for the review. Really glad that you are happy with Cookie Control. It is our commitment to make it even better in the near future. One of the tasks we will work on starting 2023 is to minify the size of the script as we understand that this is a priority for many of our customers.

### "Cannot use this product with a CSP"

December 6, 2022

3.0

multiple properties for dev, stage, prod etc require multiple licenses. This cannot be managed in one interface. It's not great.

Pros

it's free, so there's that to like about it

Cons

Having to create a secure website in 2023 means having a content security policy. Unfortunately for me and my org, this product injects SVGs into its CSS, runs custom 'jquery'-like calls from its minified script to address DOM .style elements and obfuscates other CSS alterations, all of which are defacto failures for any CSP. Security in 2023 isn't just having an https address and MFA, it means not using this software and implementing a viable cookie management script you write yourself.

Thanks for your review on our product and for still using it despite the issues that you mentioned. Cookie Control does not inject SVGs into its CSS. since all our SVGs are added inline and we don't have any within the CSS as background images for example. We do inject them into the HTML. We do make CSS alterations but we only edit class names we have set and it is unlikely any website would be using the same ones already. This is for our branding configuration options Also, we do run functions from our script to amend the style of DOM elements. With a CSP, scripts running from our domains can be blocked, if anyone wishes. These will be optimized going forward. Anyone using a CMP would understand that these security 'threats' are minimal and a reality of using any external scripts. But we aim to make it even better in the near future.

### "Quick and easy solution of "GDPR problems""

June 9, 2019

5.0

The Cookie Control was recommended by one of my friend, who runs a project for EU.

Pros

I purchased it, installed it, clicked some buttons to set it up and it works. I spend just few minutes to make sure my website meets new GDPR requirements.

Cons

It needs wise set up. Otherwise, you risk blocking all marketing scripts and cookies on your website, even if these scripts are safe.

December 6, 2022

Really happy with the product and output. I've used this on 100s of websites and will continue to do so.

Pros

The level of customisation is fantastic, better than any other I have used in the past. Its really easy to set the different opt in options.

Cons

Implementing and styling does require a bit of code knowledge.

### "Easy"

January 27, 2023

5.0

Pros

Cookie Control covers everything a cookie consent tool should have, in an easily configurable and deployable package. The dedicated user area keeps all Cookie Control licenses in one place, which makes it very helpful when you need to add/remove/update the domains you manage.

Cons

Don't think that there's anything that can be considered as a con.

### "By far the easiest and most powerful tool"

January 27, 2023

5.0

Pros

As the title suggests, Cookie Control, is the easiest and by far the most powerful cookie consent tool I've used. Plenty of customizations and the fact that it's almost plug n' play makes it my no 1 choice. Will certainly recommend this to others.

Cons

Not a single one. Cookie Control does everything I need
