review · 5 starsI’d been happily using one of the popular cookie plugins for years (over a million downloads). In moving to the WooCommerce block-based cart and checkout and writing some code, I hit an issue with 3 of my products repeatedly causing checkout errors. I spent several days trying to work it out assuming my code was wrong. In the end I found the cookie plugin was the problem for products with links to Instagram! The problem was acknowledged 1 year and 8 months ago but not fixed, any support suggestions from the time did not work. Requests in their current support forum haven’t been responded to in the last month. Hence a search for a new cookie plugin. I read various reviews and articles, and gave 4 or 5 other popular ones plugins a go. For each I found that the free versions actually had constraints, such as the number of pages you could scan or that you needed the pro version for a cookie scanner or manually had to fill in all of the details on the cookies found. Somehow I found this one and the documentation and reviews got my attention. Now I am so pleased with my choice. I wholeheartedly recommend it, all the functionality you need is there. When I found a shortcode for the content for my cookie policy page I was delighted. Fabio Dalez (plugin author) you are a genius. Thank you so much. This topic was modified 1 week ago by James .
James, thank you for taking the time to write this in so much detail. The story you describe is exactly the experience that pushed me to build FAZ in the first place, and I made a deliberate choice early on: if it ships, it ships complete. No scan limits, no gated features, no manual cookie data entry. Glad the cookie policy shortcode clicked for you. A heads-up that the next major release will include a much more complete Cookie Policy Generator, with full company and jurisdiction details, multi-language support, and a richer policy template. The code is already in the repo and will land soon. Thank you again
Hi Fabio. You are very welcome. If you are working on the Cookie Policy, a few possible minor improvements to save CSS: being able to chose the colour of the Manage Cookie Preferences button in the “How to Manage Cookies” paragraph In a PC browser, in the “Cookies We Use” section, the columns in each table are inconsistent between tables e.g. the cookie columns can be longer or shorter depending upon content. I made them consistent with CSS and styled them to match other tables on my site. Thanks again, James
